My novel, Walking Shadow, now has 10 reviews on Amazon and a few elsewhere,
all of which are 4 or 5 stars out of 5. I'm feeling pretty good about that.

I also got a cool review from BookWormSoup.

BOOK WORM SOUP: WALKING SHADOW by Clifford Royal Johns

It's enthusiastic, even.

"Walking Shadow is a robust whodunnit and whydunnit that I found brilliant fun."

This is my first blog-type review. Other than that, I致e only received reviews on Amazon etc. although some of those are pretty detailed too (especially Jinman's review).

What's more, for some reason neither my publisher nor I can understand, Amazon is offering the paperback for $1.50 off.

And what's even more, the book will be out in audio (audible.com) in the next couple weeks.

All around cool news. Thanks to everyone.

So Cliff, since you're our buddy, give us some inside info. Are you working on another novel yet? Give us a clue. . . ;)

I liked the review by the blind reader who uses a Kindle. I found that review quite perceptive. Audio books on the Kindle are one of my wife's favorite things, and she's not blind. She can read and knit at the same time; overachiever that she is.:)

Thanks folks.

Yes I'm working on another.

And I'd be happy to sign a copy for anyone, but you'd have to pay postage :)

Also, I just looked and the book is at a discount right now on Amazon (10% off).

This is the last bit of new on this unless I get a movie contract or I
get on the New York Times best seller list.

Walking Shadow, is now up on Audible.com.

Walking Shadow Audiobook | Clifford Royal Johns | Audible.com

There are few things more strange than having your book read
by a voice actor. As I am writing, there is a little voice in
my head that I use to read the text back. This helps me get
a feel for the flow of the text and finds the clunker sentences.
This actor’s voice is very different that that voice, and it is
quite disconcerting. Still, he does a good job, and the second
time I listened to it, it sounded great. The first time, it just sounded
strange.

In general, I like audio books while driving and for listening to while
walking or exercising. I never really thought about how the translation
from text to audio would feel for the author.

OK, I guess I lied. I am writing another post even though
I haven't sold movie rights. I apologize if this is too off topic.
It's sort of like posting pictures of dog. It's something I'm
proud of.

Walking Shadow, is now on sale on Kindle for 99 cents through
this weekend.

The trade paperback is also on sale at Amazon for $13.49
instead of $15.00.

Please consider giving it a try. So far, it has received
six 5 star reviews and six 4 star reviews on Amazon.

To see a description and blurbs from the cover, see the
publisher's page here:
Grand Mal Press: From Horror to Sci Fi and everything in between.

Thanks,
Cliff
