The Ultimate Dreamer

#1 Post by Redfraggle » Wed May 08, 2013 7:12 pm

Hi, do you remember Stufarq from our original forum - well he's just published his first novel called 'The Ultimate Dreamer'. It's a smart read and is available for download on Amazon for kindle and can be ordered in paperback. He also named me in the thanks because I read the original version for him a long time ago. :D

Oh cool! I'll look it up. :D Edit, tell Stu I bought it, it'd better be good. :lol:

Well done Stu! I will be buying it too.

Someone else is hiding their writing talent as well.

I'm proof reading a book that has me entranced for a certain other someone on here. I only have 6 chapters and I want the rest asap. I don't care if the rest hasn't had the final edit. :D

I'd buy it too if I could but Amazon doesn't seem to know when they will have it in stock. :(

You just order it and they print it for you to order. Or you can download it for Kindle. :D

That's what I've done. His autobiography did make me laugh.

Oooh, that's too weird. I was just replying to you when your picture came up on my automatic photoframe thing - holding Scurra's stick... :lol:

When you've read it - give him a review so the word spreads. It's a really clever read and reminded me of Pratchett's work but it's all Stufarq - brilliant! :D

Tell him I will read it but I'm half way through another book ATM, so not for a bit. Also I read really slowly. But I promise I will review it when I've finished...(that should worry him!!) :ugeek:

LOL I don't think he'll mind. He self published - it reminded me of the book 'Wicked'. It's really very good. :D

Amazon isn't letting me order it. I can only add it to my wish list.

I was surprised how inexpensive it was. I'd love to know how much Stu gets per book - prepared to bet it's a pittance. :(

I don't know but the more reviews will push it to the top and then I reckon the price will go up.

I'm enjoying it - love his writing style. Will refrain from giving full approval until I've finished though - need to make sure the ending lives up to the rest of the book!
