My Excitement Builds Up as the Uploading Schedule Nears

 PERSONAL NOTES:  I was thinking the first upload of my very first novella to be a remarkable one, but due to limited resources I revised my plan of doing it in a simple way. (No, don't get me wrong. The ceremonial uploading of Prince of Nepal is not gonna happen in a meeting room of a luxury hotel in Dallas! Ha ha! I can't afford it. Oh, Lord!)
After my proofreader sent me back the final manuscript and reviewing it for several times, I swear, I'm telling you, there were some chapters that made my eyes teary. Yes, indeed, I'm so biased. It's my novella. I devoted my time and energy writing it with all my heart. But I'm telling you, there were times that I even cried when I reviewed it again and again. Before I did it, I considered myself as a reader, not as an author who penned this. After devoting an incredible amount of time writing it, I swear, I devoted my time with great intention of

giving my readers superb entertainment in my humble ability.
By the way, the uploading might happen in a Starbucks outlet
near my residence in Dallas, Texas. My formatting consultant said
we're going to meet on Wednesday the 29th for  this memorable
task. With all my prayers and wishes Prince of Nepal will be among
the countless novels on Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Smashwords and more!

AND then, the following week after Prince of Nepal is launched, my second one, the titillating novella entitled Asian Boy will be the next one to be released. As I promised in my previous posts I would reveal the e-book cover of Asian Boy soon. As Miggy (above) is dealing with difficulties with three competing women, questions linger to those who already read the synopsis of Asian Boy. Who among these three women would succeed in the end; the young but tricky widow, the feisty fashionista or the girl next door? You're gonna find out soon, he he.



In my previous post (a few minutes ago, he he) I told you about my plans of reading a short story of a friend of mine on Facebook Patrice Fitzgerald who authored Deep Justice based in Hugh Howey's world of WOOL. But you can do it ahead of me, though.

SYNOPSIS LOUNGE proudly presents...

DEEP JUSTICE

A Silo Story by Patrice Fitzgerald

"Karma has endured twenty-five years underneath the earth. Her path in life—a path she never bargained for—has included marriage to a man she never chose, whose powerful position forces her to hide her memories of the time before.

On the day her son takes as his bride a sweet girl from the Down Deep, an explosion resounds throughout the Silo. Is the anger and frustration of the people spilling over to the long-feared uprising?

As the toxic view of the Outside still lurks on the wallscreen, and the inside erupts in ever more violence, Karma must strike out to protect her family."

Part 3 of the Karma series, DEEP JUSTICE is a 15,000 word short story based in Hugh Howey's world of WOOL, and published with his permission and encouragement.

Another Titillating Novel That Makes You Sweat!

PERSONAL NOTES:  It looks like I enjoyed the long holiday Memorial weekend so much. I haven't posted anything in more than a week. But NOPE. I have been devoting my time for the final touches of my upcoming novella Prince of Nepal and the second one, the Asian Boy. My editors and proofreaders were under pressure  in the past few days as well. Though I need some beta readers in the future, but I'm telling you folks, I will continue to build up my back list of novellas and short stories all the way down to the holiday season (ding dong.. ding dong..)

I have a couple of aspiring authors who will share their passion with me and we are going to sit down and talk about it next month. We might launch an e-book about a story of a man from Romania who struggled when his country was under the rule of a dictator. I envisioned a political thriller on this one. My NOOK PRESS platform that I use writing my e-books will be adding more projects in the coming weeks.

Reading my favorite authors' books is one of my plans after launching my own. My Facebook friend Patrice Fitzgerald, ever since we became friends (on Facebook, of course) I promised to follow her journey along with my idol author Hugh Howey. I admired Hugh's journey as an Indie author and his humble nature  as a  successful author of WOOL and other short novels of him. Hugh celebrated his first anniversary a few months ago when he quit from his job in a bookstore to push through his writing venture. And it's truly inspiring.I have to catch up on Patrice's latest one that she launched a few days ago. And I'm so excited about it.

Here's what I'm telling you that SYNOPSIS LOUNGE is featuring now. It's Alessandra Torre's The Girl in 6E. The e-book cover itself tells you how exciting to read the story. (Let me get some cold water for a moment, please. :-) I read her blog, too and Alessandra's posts are enjoyable to read. You can visit her website  to see for yourself.

The Girl in 6E
By Alessandra Torre

I screw men for money. Not literally, think phone sex operator with a 15 megapixel web cam thrown in. They tell me their deepest, darkest fantasies while paying me $6.99 a minute. 

What would possess me to engage in such a business? Throw in a tortured past, 24/7 murderous thoughts, and a desire to keep the innocent people of my small town safe. 

I was contained, out of the way, sexcamming my way to utter obscurity until HE came along. A twisted client armed with a target's name. Annie. And in that name, everything changed.

Amanda Kyle Williams: Stranger in the Room

PERSONAL NOTES: Summer is just around the corner and another thriller from Amanda Kyle Williams is here. She delivers a second thrilling Keye Street novel perfect for the season.

Stranger in the Room

By Amanda Kyle Williams

Synopsis:

Summer is smoldering through Atlanta on Fourth of July weekend, as fireworks crack through the air and steam rises from the pavement on Peachtree. Private investigator and ex-FBI profiler Keye Street wants nothing more than a couple of quiet days alone with her boyfriend, Aaron, but as usual, murder gets in the way. ( Going deeper on this will make myself  a spoiler of an amazing thriller like this.--Raf Echanova)

PERSONAL NOTES: A few weeks ago, I watched the movie The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. I haven't read the book yet but I was impressed the way it presented its plot. What a good movie to watch. William H. Macy had a great role in this movie. Ryan Philippe had shown a great performance as well.

As curious as I am, in case you haven't watched the movie yet, you can read the novel first.

The Lincoln Lawyer

By Michael Connelly

Synopsis:

They're called Lincoln Lawyers: the bottom of the legal food chain, the criminal defence attorneys who operate out of the back of a Lincoln Town Car, taking whatever cases the system throws in their path. Mickey Haller has been in the business a long time, and he knows just how to work it. When a Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally beating a woman, Haller has his first high-paying client in years. The evidence mounts on the defence's side, and Haller might even be in the rare position of defending a client who is actually innocent. But when his case starts to fall apart and neither the suspect nor the victim are quite who they seem, Haller quickly discovers that when you swim with the sharks, it's easy to wind up as prey.

My Second Novella

PERSONAL NOTES:
This is the second novella to be released soon. I delved into the wide arena of Adult Genre and had to go deeper to the New Adult bracket. Compared to Prince of Nepal, my first one, this novella is more erotic. Every single chapter has titillating scenes. This second novel will be released after a few weeks the Prince of Nepal is launched.

Our protagonist, Miggy, the Asian Boy, will definitely be among the new darlings of our New Adult readers. No wonder three women are vying for his time and attention. But one thing is for sure, though I admire Stephen King who tells promising and aspiring authors to 'kill your darlings, kill your darlings,even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler's heart, kill your darlings', I will never do it, for now. I will never kill my darling... your darling! Some supporting darlings, may be!

AND in addition to that, an amazing e-book cover for the Asian Boy will be released soon. You can peek.


SYNOPSIS LOUNGE presents...

Asian Boy
By Raf Echanova

Synopsis:

His boyish, young innocent looks hide his troubled life. He grew up in a small town in southern Oklahoma where the local folks are calling him the Asian boy. He got used to it. He became a sweet darling of their little town of Comanche. Some people adore his generosity, his constant presence as a church goer, an active fundraiser of his local church, among other things. Some adore his youthful looks with sexual desires. He became an object of their daily dose of sensation, lusts and sexual fantasies. He has an aura of a young man that pleases every aspect of  hidden desires.

He enjoys the attention he gets from them. He loves to be feasted by folks around him. Whenever he mows his family's small yard in the summer time, his half-naked body is the center of attraction. He lowers his tight shorts by intention, enough for his 'audience' to complete their day. As he drives his lawn mower around his small yard, the 'fashion show' brings joy to the neighbors who secretly peek behind their windows.

While he tolerates his foolishness to prosper, one of his neighbors, a young widow of two years, is the one who never satisfies as just a witness of his obvious display of endless flings. She wants something more. She wants to have him...to lure him. And she is tricky. She believes her destiny is written and he belongs to her forever.

Another young woman, a fashionista who is going to be his boss, came into the arena to play a game. She is picky, manipulative but passionate. She finds herself deeply in love with the Asian boy. She has to compete with the young but tricky widow. They are going to clash.

The third one is a girl next door. The one that he adores to the fullest. She's the one who thought him to learn the art of torrid kissing. She was the one who gave him the first taste of sensation as a prelude to sexual desires. She loves him as he loves her, too.

Tight competition among these women escalated to the highest level. And the situation is not funny. The Asian boy is trapped in the middle.

This novella will bring us a joyful ride to sexual paradise where these three women drove the protagonist to craziness. From his childish behavior to the awakening of his sexual adventure, the Asian boy woke up one morning to realize he has plenty of troubles to surpass.

These riveting questions would have to be answered soon: Who among these three women would triumph in the end; the young widow, the picky fashionista or the girl next door?

At this point, our boyish looking aspiring male model could share some answers to those questions. By the way, his name is Miguelito de Asis, or Miggy for short, the Asian Boy.

Another Compelling Novel

PERSONAL NOTES:
It's too late for the Mother's Day special but SYNOPSIS LOUNGE is giving you the opportunity to witness this catchy novel about a missing mom.



Please Look After Mom
By Kyung-Sook Shin

It's a best seller in Korea, a national sensation, a stunning, deeply moving story of a family's search for their mother, who goes missing one afternoon amid the crowds of the Seoul Station subway.

It's all about a universal story of family love.

You will never think of your mother the same way after you read this book.

My First Novella

This is my first novella to be released soon. I suppressed my excitement to avoid any temptations to make huge mistakes in the end -by not doing the proofreading carefully. I had this feeling of speeding up the process but very cautious of reminding myself, "Hey, don't get paranoid. Time will come and it will be released soon." As I mentioned in my previous blog, it's in my proofreader's hands yet. But it will be released pretty soon.

Prince of Nepal
Author: Raf Echanova
Synopsis:

Rajendra Kumar Shah traverses a chaotic path, getting away from a dark past that continuously haunts him. A Jyotishi predicted his life as a stormy, difficult one. His endless battle seems to test his great ability to save his country as a leader.

His quest of finding a better half  is synonymous to his life of bumpy road of troubles and desperation. His own people long for a woman that will inspire them like the flowers in the garden. But in reality, they're like in a forest with no fruit bearing trees but dried bushes of a drought-savaged land.

Let us join Rajendra in his journey. Let us witness how he superbly adores his quest of empowering women on his side. His titillating adventures in fulfillment of his human desires are something to care about. You will be amazed how he moans and groans like the hyenas, Bengal tigers and other wild animals in the wilderness, whenever he reaches the climax of his Himalayan mountains of sexual pleasures.

He comes to the great land of the milk and honey to find how great the people who live there are. He tries to find his Sunita, the love of his life. He found more than what he expected, like a treasure to keep.

His troubled life is part of his journey. But he needs to surpass it. It's not as simple as we think but a matter of life and death.


PERSONAL NOTES:

In the succeeding blogs in the coming days, I will reveal the e-book cover of my next novel after Prince of Nepal. It's all about an Asian immigrant in the land of milk and honey. His charismatic boyish looks invite more troubles to his already trouble-driven life.

This novella is entitled Asian Boy. I delved into a deeper part of the adult genre bracket, a newly discovered one AKA New Adult Genre. Every chapter has titillating scenes. The Asian Boy novel tackles three different women vying for his attention, affection and so to speak, TIME. Time to explore their lusty nature of satisfying themselves with this one of a kind creature of more than the aura of Adonis in his young prime innocence. Who among these women would triumph in the end: The young fashionista, the tricky young widow or the girl next door?

It will be released soon.

Why Synopsis Lounge?

Welcome to my blog. It's a great pleasure to have you!

Why Synopsis Lounge? Well, we depend our decision by reading the synopsis of every story that we intend to read, right? Our readers depend on it. It brings excitement to us. And this is the author's great opportunity to let the readers know about the story. In impasse. At a glance. In an instant.

Why the word 'Lounge'? Oh, man, it brings the idea and my fascination of a club lounge or something like that. Or a place like in the airports, while you are waiting at the terminal, where you can see the VIP airline passengers spending their time in the VIP Lounge. Unfortunately, for the most part, I used to have the economy class, and you know what I'm talking about. It only happened once, in my entire life, some years ago, when I was attending a convention in Singapore, I got the business class ticket so at least I enjoyed some time in the VIP Lounge of Singapore Airlines. And please, don't ever ever think I was a big shot then, nuh uh, a sponsor paid it for me. I'm fascinated about the smell of food, the tastes of freshly brewed coffee, or tea and the 'finger' food they serve. So, that's the idea of this blog. A Synopsis Lounge of great stories of my fellow aspiring and published authors and writers dedicated, and so to speak, CATERED to the most important creatures in this wonderful world of fiction we live in: our READERS. No, not those Kindle and Nook or iPad READERS, but those HUMAN BEINGS who read and patronize our work, those who value our work ( and of course who trash our work if it is not suitable for them, duh).

Synopsis Lounge will be a venue for our published and unpublished authors and writers about their published books and those to be published soon. And folks, even the ONES that you have not written yet, of course, just let us know by telling your SYNOPSIS and they will be part of the SYNOPSIS LOUNGE blog of yours, truly ( though I doubt it, I doubt it that you will tell us the synopsis of your story that you haven't written completely yet, for some 'reason', trying hard, copy cat.. he he).

So... your SYNOPSIS LOUNGE page will feature the synopsis of your story then we'll get some feedback from our visitors. Easy, right? Oh, yes... and it feels good, right? They could even post their reactions or what kind of excitement they feel about your story. And you will share some of your royalty fees that Amazon and Barnes and Noble will give you in the future, RIGHT? WRONG!!! I don't need those. My noble intention here folks is to build a great alliance to a REVOLUTION of the E-BOOK era. That's it.

MY OWN NOVELLAS HANGING IN THE GARAGE OF MY PROOFREADERS

I am a few steps away from being an aspiring to published e-book author. The excitement and frustrations hampered my ability to keep on moving. I have this feeling of unexplained mood. Oh, yes, it seems that it's kind of having some 'hot flashes' at this point. Or in a better analogy, like a dog who roams around the garage and trying go get out. Or a cat that accidentally messed up a sprinkler in the yard. Or, it looks like you've got that feeling of some stomach upset after you drank that Ballerina Dieter's Tea that you bought from the Asian store. You know that feeling, right? That's how I feel right now. Or to a much better analogy, it feels like when I was a teenager and my girlfriend was waiting for me in a convenience store, I couldn't get out of my house because my mother 'sensed' something wrong and she's guarding the main door. You know that feeling, right?

I began to write my first novella in September last year. It's all about a young leader of his country who struggles with the ghosts of his past. Actually, folks, whenever we see the word 'ghosts' the impression is it's all about a horror story. This novella is a mixture of romance, politics and adventure. At first, I was really confused about the exact genre of my novella. I kept asking where it really belonged. I didn't know. Yes, I admit it. But one day I woke up and thought about Oprah. Yes, that inspiring lady Oprah. I was thinking if I would let her read my e-book in the future, I ask myself these questions: What would Oprah think? What would Oprah say? And... What would Oprah do? Oh, lord, after realizing those words? I found the right genre for me. And I loved it.
