#433 ~ The Kingdom of Tamarack

The Kingdom of Tamarack by Ross Turner

My rating: 1 of 5 stars








Please bear in mind if you read the following, the fact that I have marked this as 1 star and DNF (Did Not Finish) should not be a damming indictment of this particular authors ability.

I gave it a go, but quickly decided that it just wan't going to ding my dong. I couldn't get a clear sense of the author's voice, and it was a little confusing. Most definitely an example of telling, not showing.

I can't even say that there were huge mistakes in grammar. It wasn't riddled with typos, there didn't even seem to be many punctuation errors (except Loc 31 and the incorrect use of a comma splice) - it just wasn't for me.

I have a whole mountain of books, in Kindle and of the old-fashioned book variety, to keep me going for well over a year; more are joining the book-lift queue to join that mountain, so I just thought "thank you, but I will give this a miss".

Please give the thing a try, you might love it - what is one reader's turn off is sure to be just the thing for a.n.other.

Indie Writer: Ross Turner

Here's what Ross has to say about himself on Amazon:

I have always loved reading and writing, and I have always wanted to write my own novels.

It began years ago as a fantasy and lo and behold things are finally coming together.

It's a start.

I just hope you all enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoy writing it.

Beyond reading and writing I have a keen interest in sport and exercise.

As well as studying for a degree in Sport and Exercise Science, I enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking and gymnastics and strength training.

You can keep up to date with my latest books and news on facebook and twitter.

Indie Writer (Self-published)

After an epic fail of a day yesterday, doing housework and thwacking my hand so hard on the work surface that I'm truly lucky not to have broken the thing ... although OMG it hurts to type!, then having to hang around until 1'ish in the morning to collect Lou from her school trip to watch The Tempest at the Globe Theatre (apparently it was awesome  ..... I never managed to find the time to post a daily selection.

The last daily selection was all about covers, but you can't exactly accuse me of making today's choice like that .... black, white and boring.  However, from the 2 reviews that I've read on this one it might prove to far from that.  By a young Indie Writer, so I'm really excited to see how it pans out.

You can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE.  As always, please bean mind that I have no guarantee how long they will stay available for free download, so if you are reading this post retrospectively, you may well have to pay for it - I will review it as soon as possible and report back on it's merits.

This morning I'm back in the game and on the top 10,000 my Amazon Reviewer list at 9,331 (>).  I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' some day .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.
