RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of the second in a series of Suspense Novels by author Jan Evan Whitford.

Limerick, Ireland, Friday – March 23, 2012 — RealTime Publishing Announces “Mystic Fear”, the second in the Nikki O’Connor series of Novels from American Author Jan Evan Whitford.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “Mystic Fear” by Jan Evan Whitford, which is the author’s second book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Suspense category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $14.99. ‘Mystic Fear’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $4.99. A webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
At his car, he shuffled her into the passenger side, hustled around, and got behind the wheel. He jammed the barrel of the Browning into her ear.
She cried out.
“Don’t make me use this,” he said, laying the pistol in his lap.
Her ear was throbbing and ringing at the same time but she still heard the thump as he auto-locked the doors. He started the car, put it in gear, and eased away from the curb. He flipped on the wipers and they sluiced away the mist. As they drove, the wipers lulled and almost hypnotized her.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
They drove for about twenty minutes and once they were off the main highway, she leaned forward and squinted through the windshield at a caution sign:
DETOUR – YOUR RIDOT HIGHWAY DOLLARS AT WORK
Orange barrels with their flickering caution lights did little to affect the black hole darkness. Rows of red and white striped sawhorses funneled them along until they veered off onto a two-lane blacktop.
Hess looked over, ran a lizard tongue over his lips, saying, “You are so beautiful. You look just like Mother.”
Nikki closed her eyes, didn’t respond.
“You ignoring me? Didn’t you hear me tell you that you’re beautiful?”
Her eyes flew open and she looked down at gnarled, ugly fingers moving in slow motion, fondling the inside of her thigh. Filthy nails, bitten to the quick, tipped his fingers. His hand felt like a diseased vermin paw, even through her jeans. Recoiling, she closed her eyes again.
He put his hand back on the wheel and pulled off the blacktop, onto the shoulder. He left the ignition on. The wipers continued: Thump-thump.
(Chapter 51)

‘Mystic Fear’ is the second of a gripping mystery/suspense series by author, Jan Evan Whitford – author of ‘Mystic Island’ (book 1 in the series). Reading this novel is like going on a non-stop roller coaster ride through a series of romance, mystery, psychosis, and murderous chain of events, all of which leads to Marion’s obsession to make Nikki “Become”.

It is also amazing how the author is able to juggle an enormous array of engaging characters and copious number of subplots, and tie them all together neatly and beautifully to give it such an agreeable ending.

Expertly constructed at 336 pages, “Mystic Fear” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Mystery and Suspense categories. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “Mystic Fear” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.99 and $4.99, respectively.

Additionally, “Mystic Fear” can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers from the RealTime wholesale department by emailing buybooks@realtimepublishings.com. To qualify for the maximum trade discount price set by the author, order in quantities of ten or more.

RealTime Publishing author, Mattius C. S. White, releases another Fantasy Epic called The Leaves of Dusk.

January 18, 2012 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of the second in a series of Fantasy Novels by author Mattius C. S. White.

Limerick, Ireland, January 18, 2012 — RealTime Publishing Announces “The Leaves of Dusk”, the second of two Epic Novels from American Author Mattius C. S. White.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “The Leaves of Dusk” by Mattius C. S. White, which is the author’s second book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Fantasy category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $14.99. ‘The Leaves of Dusk’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $4.99. The webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
The blood of Danathyl had crawled from the White Wyvern’s tomb, out over the ice and into the creek to the Lake of Danat-Lanne. The precious blood mingled with the icy water and explored the world beneath its glossy ceiling. Bodies of men and Cordontis and Mangendors floated beneath the surface in a lifeless trance, trapped beneath the icy roof. There they stared out through the dark depths of the water that would forever be their frigid mausoleum. Danathyl’s blood would not revive them amidst such a great amount of water to dilute its healing power. The fallen in the lake were gone forever.

Closer to the cave, where the blood rode the creek’s current out to the lake, it ran thick. Beneath its surface floated the two SangreLin flasks that had eluded Dirlan’s grasp. Emptied of their contents, they now filled with the cold water and sank into the depths. The healing power of Danathyl swam through the creek with the slow moving current and happened upon something to call home. A dark figure hung in the murky depths, as if frozen in flight. A key dangled from a chain hung precariously around a lifeless neck.

Past blackened fingers, beneath charred armor, through tattered cloak, and among singed, whitened hair, the blood swam. It found its way in the darkness over scorched skin and into a mouth, past an agony-ridden grimace, and into lungs and stomach. Its healing massaged a cooled, still heart and travelled through dormant vessels and arteries, igniting nerves with feeling and synapses with a message, relayed with relentless speed to the brain.

I’m still alive, Pestileras thought. His glazed eyes opened, and his fists clenched, trying to wring the cold from within his flesh. He squinted upward and saw the pale sky, hindered by a glassy surface that undulated and spun. Time to breathe once again, he thought. That was when he realized he was underwater. (Chapter 28)

‘The Leaves of Dusk’ is the second of a two-part epic fantasy adventure by author, Mattius C. S. White – author of ‘The Exiled Son’ (book 1 in the series). White, has managed to fulfill his reader’s thirst for the utmost fantasy adventure in a magical realm full of colorful, descriptive, and unique characters.

The author knows his genre and draws on his imagination to create a magnificent piece of literature for its uniqueness and well-defined characters.

Expertly constructed at 418 pages, “The Leaves of Dusk” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fantasy category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “The Leaves of Dusk” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.99 and $4.99, respectively.

About the Author:
Mattius C. S. White started writing in high school, doing pass-along stories with his friends for fun. This gave him a love for the written word, and by college, Mattius decided to see if he could write a 100-150 page adventure story, just for the challenge of doing it. Inspired by The Lord of the Rings, the Star Wars movies, The Discworld series, Final Fantasy video games, etc. he set out to complete this and ended up creating a 312,000 word and 700+ page book, which has been split into two works (The Leaves of Dusk, and The Leaves of Dusk).
Mattius is continually striving to challenge myself to write stories outside the mainstream seen today, yet he holds true to the works that have inspired him from the beginning. He love to create characters and worlds outside of our own, and until he feels he has nothing left to say, he will continue to relish the joy he get from this art.

Mattius is currently working on a sequel that takes place approximately 20 years after the first two books.

RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of a Blue Collar Business Novel by author Dr. Jim McCain

August 6, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

RealTime Publishing author, Dr. Jim McCain, releases a Business Novel called Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It.

Limerick, Ireland, Saturday – August 06, 2011 — RealTime Publishing Announces “Why Trade Contractors Fail”, a hands-on practical Business Novel from American Author Dr. Jim McCain.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “Why Trade Contractors Fail” by Dr. Jim McCain, which is the author’s first book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Small Business category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $24.95. ‘Why Trade Contractors Fail’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $6.95. The webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Cold calling has the best chance of success if you follow these rules:
* Be proud of your appearance. It’s been proven that if you feel unkempt you will project that image over the telephone.
* While telemarketing, talk to your image in a mirror on your desk. Smile. It will come through in your voice.
* Say your piece, then listen and take notes. It is impossible to overcome objections if you don’t hear them. Sometimes prospects do not say they object to something in the telemarketing spiel but they do nevertheless. The astute telemarketer will be able to “hear” an objection without it being stated.
* Be polite, be enthusiastic. Your voice is all you have going for you.
* Remember, you are not selling the company’s products and services, but simply arranging to set sales appointments.
* Many telemarketers give up too readily in their attempts at setting appointments. As I mentioned earlier, it takes a special type of person to handle that kind of rejection. (page 186)

Trade contractors excel at mastery of their specific crafts. The plumber, the electrician, the carpet installer, the home builder…all these and the many other contractors and subcontractors servicing America’s homes and businesses know the technical aspects of their craft inside out.

But their knowledge of business systems often lags. Too many of them fail when it comes to understanding how to manage cash, use telemarketing techniques to get new business, minimize their inventories, and the dozens of other business techniques that spell the difference between success and failure.

Dr. Jim McCain, aka The Business Doctor, has done a great job with his book “Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It”, subtitled “A Handbook of Financial, Operations, and Marketing Procedures to Help Trade Contractors Succeed”. It addresses those issues that most Trade Contractors don’t understand. It attacks specific problems that contractors face. Most books addressing this market are too academic and excessively focused on theory. This one is hands-on practical, the way blue collar contractors understand it and like it.

Expertly constructed at 200 pages, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Small Business category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $24.95 and $6.99, respectively.

RealTime Publishing Author, Mattius C. S. White, Releases a Fantasy Epic Called The Exiled Son

July 7, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of the first in a series of two Fantasy Novels by author Mattius C. S. White.

Limerick, Ireland, Thursday – July 07, 2011 — RealTime Publishing Announces “The Exiled Son”, the first of two Epic Novels from American Author Mattius C. S. White.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “The Exiled Son” by Mattius C. S. White, which is the author’s first book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Fantasy category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $14.99. ‘The Exiled Son’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $4.99. The webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
Changes in the vision of this portrait were not only to the background. This generation of the family Egasesew had lived upon canvas for many years now, and their images, too, were always changing, with the exception of the deceased Sevran. Niafask’s mother remained a beautiful face between two shadows of their former selves who looked on from behind a guise of scales, horns, and jagged teeth.

Niafask looked upon the painting as he touched his rough face. His fingers found a small, bony protrusion on his cheek. “That wasn’t there before,” he said, squinting at his image on the canvas. He reached and pulled a small mirror from a nearby drawer and looked into it.

It was the wrong mirror.

His gaze faded from his own broken face staring back, and he found himself staring at the mirror itself. Its glass and silver frame were stained with the dried brown of old blood. Niafask’s hand felt its way from his cheek down to the long scar across his neck.
As his eyes glazed with memory, all he saw was fire. (Chapter 17, page 221)

White’s account of this era is quite astonishing as he utilizes a brilliant imagination in his writing. He creates a world so very different than we know, but at the same time – he incorporates the need we all have for equality and balance in our own lives, and the lives of others. I found this to be an extraordinary tale of fantasy mixed with an underlying absolute truth. Looking for a fresh new writer – Matthew C. S. White is the next upcoming new author in this genre.

Expertly constructed at 330 pages, “The Exiled Son” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fantasy category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “The Exiled Son” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.99 and $4.99, respectively.

February 2, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
After the fight, one of the physical training instructors came over and told me that I had to enter Collingrad’s boxing championships, due to my talented right hand (I had a good uppercut by all accounts). I had four fights and won them all by knockout in the first round, which meant I was now in the finals for middle weight. I was quite chuffed about all this; my class mates were all behind me. What I didn’t know at this time was a certain boxer called Paddy Graham was also in the final. Now, this guy was a Navy legend; he was southern area, ABA, and Northern Ireland amateur champion.

The night of the final arrived, I was in my corner dressed in a white Navy t-shirt, a pair of Navy issue sports shorts down to my knees, and a pair of plimsolls, when in came Paddy, dressed in silk shorts, a t-shirt covered in boxing honours, and proper boxing boots. I’m thinking, why me, o lord. My sphincter muscle is tightening up, my mouth is drier than a camel’s arse, adrenaline is coursing through my veins, the fight or flee mode is kicking in; my loyal mates are giving me a hundred to one chance. Seconds out, round one, Paddy comes out of his corner, blowing air through his nostrils like some insane bull. I move forward, I see a chance, there’s a gap between his gloves… (Chapter 2)

Fish and Ships by author Alfred Pickup takes readers behind the scenes and onboard the Royal Navy from the early 1960’s to mid 1980’s.
Travelling the world’s oceans meant facing powerful storms, on board fires, mechanical breakdowns, the threat of war, and shore leaves where young matelots with money in their pockets and adventure on their minds could get into all sorts of alcohol-infused shenanigans in local establishments.
Fish and Ships follows a twenty-five year career in the RN that would see Pickup rise to the rank of Chief Petty Officer and retire from service in his early forties to life as the owner of a fish and chips restaurant.

Fish & Ships offers readers a rare and honest glimpse into the adventure, excitement, and unique challenges of a career in the Royal Navy.
