The addresses don't go anywhere.

We don't allow links for purchase unless they are through the BGO Amazon link. Oddly you don't actually tell us what the book's name is or anything about it. Why don't you do that, then I'll create a proper link.

Oh sorry about that :grumble:

I did email an admin about advertising my book and was told to post in this section of the site

The title of the book is: The Broken.
As far a as a genre is drama more in the style of Steinbeck than anything else.
Here is the synopsis from the back cover.

'The Broken” is a touching, moving story of a teenager’s inner conflicts as he battles to come to terms with past abuse and bereavement.
The story of Jack is written with great insight into the psychological workings of a young man’s mind, and as the reader follows his moods, and sometimes quite violent behaviour, one cannot help but feel a growing empathy for this confused and angry young man. With very authentic character portrayal this novel holds the interest and compels one to keep turning the pages until the end. When the protagonist falls deeply in love the question arises as to whether the added emotional involvement will
serve to stabilize him or merely cause him to finally go over the edge.
Thought-provoking; containing romance, mental illness, and adventure, it is cleverly compiled to hold the interest throughout and has the added bonus of some excellent descriptive passages. It is informative and daring, written with the modern reader in mind, and whilst of great appeal to the
younger element, has much to recommend it to the more traditional reader.'


If anyone want to know please PM me.

Peace.

Indeed you did - I was just mystified that you didn't actually tell us anything about it. Since I also pointed out in my e-mail reply, "The only thing we don't allow is a sales link unless it is generated by going through the Amazon banner at the top of the homepage" presumably you were trying to do this - hence your non-working link to Amazon...?

Anyway, here's a working link:

The blurb really is a string of clichés, EndlessLaymon. Sorry - but it is.

I wouldn’t say it is a string of clichés in any sense but I didn’t really have any say in the matter. I felt some of the sentences gave a good insight to the reader what to expect from the story but I guess opinions differ.
