Hey guys - I've written a novel that I think many of you will really enjoy. It's called "The Never Enders." Read the description below and check out an excerpt on my website if you're interested.

Thanks
Michael

Praise for "The Never Enders"

"...a nonstop ride through a mental home."
- Daily Candy Philadelphia

"An amazing first novel."
-By Glen Feulner, "63 Channels"

"Sonbert writes like a young Chuck Palahniuk."
-Lauren Becker, "Shooting Stars Magazine"

"...a sledgehammer to the psyche..."
- Daniel Alleva, Charged by the System

“...beautiful and haunting at the same time,”
- Bethany Andrews, "book.of.the.moment"

“...a loud song that doesn't seem to die down,”
- Helen Valencia, “Knight News”

Life is dark for Perry Patton, disaffected youth and angry artist, and escape is the name of his game. With his life savings in his pocket, he leaves the home he hates and heads to a city he’s ready to despise. But his escape doesn’t stop there. Giving himself one week, he’s ready to live fast and die soon. But that one week in the urban jungle gives him more than he bargained for.

Life becomes a non-stop rollercoaster when Perry falls in with a group of hard-partying misfits who take his own attitude on life and multiply it by drugs, booze, and violence. Perry is soon swept up in the wild ride of these Never Enders, but not without consequence. The realities of a lifestyle outside the law set in and Perry finds himself with no one to trust and everything to lose.

The Never Enders is gritty, dark, and deep—Catcher in the Rye meets Fight Club for a new generation. Enter a world of self-destruction, vigilantism, and the worst of urban life. Once you enter, there’s only one escape.

brother michael,

congrats on your novel, man. that's a pretty hefty feat, especially considering the amazon reviews.

ive moved this thread over to the trades barters and promotions thread
as justin pointed out, this is a message re: why:
http://chuckpalahniuk.net/forum/1000026/we-have-a-trades-barter-and-prom...

i also deleted your other thread because there is no need for more than one of exactly the same content. here we all see everything. the site may look big, but really, once you get the hang of it, the place can seem not so cavernous.

anywhom. welcome to the cult and congratulations on your novel
-kabol

Well, I read the amazon reviews, and despite my comments on the other thread you posted, I may actually have to pick this up sometime soon. Who am I to pass up a good book about a kid trying to go out in a blaze of glory. And congratulations on getting published.

sounds interesting mate. i may have to check it out.

i've not seen you around, welcome to the cult.

i do graphic design and photography, freelance, for a living; who did your cover? i like the styling of it, paint meets old pulp penny dreadful.

nate,

you know the second and third posts in a thread are going to depict how the thread will go. reasonably about 94 percent accurately. you made the rule up, remember ?! the rule is tried and true.

That's the Nightrious rule of thread building, it didn't come from me.
But I think this scientifically proves it. Same thread, same first post. But two different second posts and the threads couldn't be further apart than East and West.

Didn't see the other one. It was deleted before I got back on. Would have loved to though.

Thanks Brandon. I think so. Working on a movie right now. Perhaps when that's finished.
