Book Promotion for John Ross Boomer Lit Series

The third book in Michael Embry's John Ross Boomer Lit series, New Horizons, will be released May 1 by Wings ePress.

One of the promotions is to provide readers an opportunity to purchase the first two books, Old Ways and New Days and Darkness Beyond the Light, at discounted ebook prices. 

Beginning Sunday, April 14, Old Ways and New Days can be downloaded for one week at the amazingly low price of 99 cents. Hard to believe, isn't it?

But wait! The following Sunday, April 21, Darkness Beyond the Light, will be available for the astonishingly low price of 99 cents for one week. Have you lifted yourself off the floor yet?


Silliness aside, Embry's novels have never been priced this low. As part of the promotion, it's a great way to introduce discriminating readers to the series—especially baby boomers. And maybe their children and grandchildren who are curious as to what makes the old folks tick. 

For those who aren't familiar with the series, it's about the trials and tribulations and the joys and jubilations of John Ross after his retirement as a sports editor of a Kentucky newspaper. 

It's a coming-of-old-age series that deals with family, friendships, health, and redefining one's purpose while moving into that final phase of life.    

As mentioned, New Horizons is the third book in the series. It's about a wild and wacky trip to Budapest, Hungary. Embry is currently working on the fourth installment and knows what the fifth book is going to address.

New Horizons, like Embry's other novels, will be available in electronic and print. More about that later.

Until the next time . . .

P.S. If you read the books, please leave a rating and/or review. It would be much appreciated. And do that for all authors!

What You Don't Know About My Novels

If somebody asked me, “What is it the one thing I do not know about your novels?”, the answer would be that my first three novels, Fires of Belenus, Cult of Camulos, and Swords of Artaius comprise a trilogy. Each is the story of a young man transforming from a naïve youngster into a ruthless warrior chief, whom when provoked, becomes a monster, given to fits of rage viewed as demonic possession by his peers. The story has been described as Mr. Hyde meets Cu Chulainn the Irish folk hero. Eoan, son of Athair is corrupted, by travails and personal loss that slowly transform him into a ruthless killer. The demonic episodes become more violent and harder to control until he fully evolves into the ruthless warrior, Artaius the Bear.  

Each story is an adventure that ramps up the severity of the ordeals Eoan must overcome. Initially, he must save a young woman he loves from being sacrificed to Belenus, the god of fire. In Cult of Camulos he is enslaved by Romans and must fight his way home to protect his family from Ualu the greatest warrior in Celtica. In Swords of Artaius his tribe is being overrun by an invasion of Cimbri Warriors and after losing all that is dear in his life, he transforms completely, losing all but a shred of his humanity and launches a merciless, one-man assault on the invaders. He struggles to find his way back to sanity with the comfort of Lughin, but the gods always demand a “price.”

Central to the conflict is his great sword Clach na Adhar, hence the series title “Sword Saga.” I admit it is a Mcguffin, a constant thread helping weave the plotlines together. Each novel stands alone, but I suggest you read them in order. 

Book I: Fires of Belenus, Book 2: Cult of Camulos, Book 3: Swords of Artaius
