Flogging the Quill

Editor Ray Rhamey's blog, Flogging the Quill, is one of the longest-standing of its kind on the net and has won him many fans. If you're looking for an editor to stand over your shoulder while you polish your book (aren't we all?), take a look at Ray's new book, Flogging the Quill: Crafting a Book That Sells.

Free books for reviewers

If you're a keen reader, for pleasure or 'work', and would like a review copy of Restitution, please email me on grhelizATgmail.com. I have four copies of the soon-to-be-released paperback to send reviewers. No conditions, as long as you can commit to writing and posting/publishing a review within the next three weeks.

It doesn't have to be a print newspaper, it can be a blog/online book review site or Amazon. And you don't have to reveal your identity to me if you don't want to, as long as you give me a safe mailing address for the book.

Just to remind you what Restitution is about, here's the blurby bit from Amazon:

February 1945. Europe is in ruins and the Red Army is searing its way across Germany's eastern marches, revenging itself upon a petrified population. The war is over, but for some the fight for survival is only just beginning. Alix, the aristocratic daughter of a German resistance fighter, is desperate to flee before the Reds come. But when a ferocious snowstorm descends she is left alone and terrified.
