Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Writing a novel is not easy. Not everyone has the temperament, drive and passion to see the job through to publication. Many talented people with wonderful ideas stumble and make "rookie" mistakes which hurt the chances of their books ever becoming a success.

While geared toward those writing a “Spiritual” based novel, this book is designed to help the novice or intermediate writer avoid the most common pitfalls regardless of the genre in which they are working.

The author, Rod Pennington has published 8 novels including “The Fourth Awakening.” TFA has regularly been #1 in the Amazon Kindle category “Best Sellers in Mysticism & New Age Religion” since its release in 2009. It is also been #1 in multiple other Kindle categories in both the US and the UK. The recently released follow up, “The Gathering Darkness (The Fourth Awakening Series)” has moved into the top ten of multiple Kindle categories including being #1 in the UK: “Bestsellers in Metaphysical & Visionary Fiction.”

The long awaited follow up to Rod's Bestselling "The Fourth Awakening", "The Gathering Darkness (The Fourth Awakening Series)" is now available as a Kindle Exclusive. "The Fourth Awakening", is currently #1 in multiple Kindle categories in both the USA and the UK. It has been #1 in the Kindle "New Age Mysticism" category for two consecutive years.

In addition to his eight novels, Rod has sold or had optioned numerous screenplays and treatments.

Pennington has also just released the first in another "Kindle Exclusive" series entitled "A Family Reunion." This is a dark comedy about a dysfunctional family of four of the world's best assassins. The next book in the series, "Family Business", will be released in December 2011. If the series develops a following, Pennington says he will add two more titles per year, "until people get tired of reading them or I get tired of writing them."

Pennington began his novel writing career in the "Men's Action" genre in the 1980s. In addition to his own bestselling "Devon's Way" series he produced "work-for-hire" novels for the Worldwide Library/Gold Eagle imprint of Harlequin Books based on the characters created by the late Don Pendleton in his Mack Bolan "Executioner" series.

When, along with the Berlin Wall, the men's action genre collapsed, Pennington was recruited by the VP of Creative Affairs of a major motion picture studio and worked directly with him for many years.

Pennington considers "A Family Reunion" to be a return to his first love, action novels. This book is the first of a dark humor series which is meant to be a fun, fast read. It has Pennington's signature snappy dialogue and breakneck speed plotting. The story has lots of cliffhangers and twists and turns, a touch of sex, and a healthy dose of humor.
