Weekly eBook

We here at eMoon have decided to try something new: each week we'll post and promote an author and their eBook. This week's author is Marshal Myers. Marshal's specialty is sci-fi/fantasy. The two titles thus far in Marshal's queue are: Sword Dreamer and Lady of Naofatir.

Here's more on the first of Marshal's published work--Sword Dreamer.
Léofric is next in line to be the king's Sword Dreamer, the one who will dream of a battle the night before it is fought. This is the most important position in the king's army. But is Léofric ready for the challenge? And what of the strange Elven ways he must learn? And who is this True King whom Léofric must serve without question?

Lady of Naofatir couples quite nicely with Marshal's first work. Below is the back matter for L of N.
Miriam O’Connor is an Irish school teacher with a love for reading and mythology. She is thrilled when she inherits a mansion in filled with mythological texts.One day while reading in the attic of the library, she finds an old book filled with cryptic writing. It whisks her off to the country of Naofatir where the fairylike inhabitants are caught in a battle against their terrible Enemy.



Mr. Myers has begun to dabble in children's fiction and short stories. All his work is equally high in quality and worth every cent spent to take the mind on a fantastical vacation. This young man breaks all barriers and tackles the most difficult tasks with ease. His writing potential has no bounds.

If you're interested in a fantasy novel much like Lord of the Rings, check out Marshal's books, which can be purchased on Amazon, Smashwords, Sony, Apple, Barnes & Noble or Kobo for between $6.99 and $.99.

Electric Moon Publishing offers new and established authors a scalable, flexible, and cost-effective approach to electronic publication.

Four business partners dove into the expanding ePublishing market in August of 2009, and their timing seemed almost perfect given the latest statistics in this fast growing industry. And if the timing is good for eMoon, it may be even better for potential authors who desire a professional product with higher commission rates, and in a matter of weeks instead of years.

Like many traditional publishing houses, eMoon offer its authors various services—only with a digital twist. Typical writer helps such as editing can be purchased “al a carte,” while other features come automatically or in a package: Cover design, copyright filing, marketing (video trailer, bookmarks, development of promotional material), and of course, book publication with companies such as: Amazon, Apple, Sony, Barnes &Noble, Kobo, etc. Any person who either has the free Kindle application download (good on any PC, Mac, iPad®, iPhone® or Blackberry®), the free Barnes & Noble Nook® application (for iPad® and iPhone®) or one of the myriad e-reading devices such as the Kindle®, Nook®, iPhone® or iPad® will be able to read what has been published electronically.

Though digital publishing remains the primary focus of specialty of Electric Moon, this new publishing house is also willing and ready to produce paperback books for their authors.

“The list of perks for digital publishing seems to keep growing,” explained founder, Jeff Dunn. “Such highlights include: Quick availability and delivery, flexible pricing, more frequent commission payments at a higher rate (50% net proceeds), freedom from restrictive editorial requirements (author can write whatever length of novel he/she wants), much greater control over book’s title and content, easy updating and account management, and basic hands-on approach—all of which is less available in the traditional publishing world.”

Electric Moon has also has an established relationship with the Christian community and especially encourages manuscripts with such a bend, though are looking to help any author with quality written work.

 “The time is now,” encouraged Jeff Dunn. “Of all the opportunities that have knocked on my door, including being an editor at a major publishing house and literary agent, I’ve honestly never experienced a more exciting era than the one we live in now: the digital age—where great writing has virtually no bounds.”

Starting this month, Electric Moon Publishing is putting out a call for submissions to any individual who has a quality manuscript with rights retained. This may include books that have been self-published or print-on-demand.

This new business intends to assist in ushering in the reality of digital publishing with a personal and friendly approach. Electric Moon Publishing encourages new and established authors to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, and write down what has been burning in their hearts—then let eMoon help make it available to inspire readers around the world.
