Cheers Gertie. I'd advise anybody to wait another couple of days and the revised book will be up. Same story exactly, but in a bigger and clearer format. Book two is already written and I'm getting it ready for publishing.

MORO

(Means Moor, Berber or Arab, the races out of North Africa that invaded Spain in the year 711 AD)

Batman · Post by **Batman** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 8:05 pm

A modern day English archer is approached by a mysterious Arab who claims to live in a parallel world in Spain that is five hundred years behind his own. He is invited to take part in an archery tournament where losing can bring about the downfall of a civilised world and the future freedom of a beautiful woman at the hands of an evil sorcerer. He will also have to go against all the values he holds dear in a land where killing is almost as normal as breathing and the price of life is survival of the fittest. He knows it cannot possibly be real...or can it? And once there in this strange world, can he come back?

Know I'm a pain, but I just got the first review on my book from an author who has had seven books published, some on highly technical stuff. Here's what they say:

Moro by James Morris is a fantasy novel in a completely new style. It is the story of a modern day English Archer who finds himself magically transferred to another world, another time. The book has all the elements of a gripping fantasy story such a beautiful women, evil sorcerers and strange worlds. Quotations from the Rubiyat enrich this fascinating tale. All in all, if you fancy fantasy, this is the book to go for. The formatting and layout of the book could be improved (and I believe James is working on that) but it is not something that will diminish the readers pleasure.

Wahey!

To be honest, all I want from a book is a bodice-ruipping, heaving bosom-filled text.

Come on Tango, how much rudeness is there?

Go to LULU them "Browse". Type MORO in the search panel. When it comes up, click on my name. When the next view comes up, click on the book cover and it's at the bottom of the page. Might be Malhotra, I didn't check in my delight.

Ah you want "Edmund: A Butler's Tale" by Gertrude Perkins-- a giant rollercoaster of a novel in four hundred sizzling chapters. A searing indictment of domestic servitude in the eighteenth century, with some hot gypsies thrown in.

You should be reading "The Kama Sutra" or "The Perfumed Garden" Batty. Mine's just a story with a bit of spice attached.

How about doing a review of your own Monty. I'd love to see that in print. I'll provide a PDF if you fancy it.

I was in a novel once don't you know, Tango? The bastard author made me wear a moth-eaten suit and trundle about in a dilapidated Ford Escort. I mean, ok, it meant that I had little trouble in getting into character but that's hardly the point is it?! I just hope that you've been a little kinder to your subjects.

Hey, my favourite secret agent ever wore a moth-eaten suit and trundled about on the bus; Charlie Muffin, an MI6 legend.
Oh, er my guy lives in palaces and is a millionaire archer/painter. Gets all the girls too.

Yep, he's the man Gertie. A real Latin lover. Some men get all the luck.
