FREE promotion days + UPDATE

I've finally had a look at the 'Promotions Manager' thingy on Amazon properly and it shows I have 5 free days on EACH book. So expect some free days on all the books.
I will be holding a MASSIVE FREE  2 day promo when all my other books (except Manna-X) on October 14th and 15th because I have a special post on EI Jenning's website on October 14th, promoting all my books. So if you want to read ALL of my books and you haven't had the opportunity yet, then...download.
I will, however, be holding promo days before then, as soon as I can enter details  into some free ebook websites.
Working on my next book...:-)
Just looked at Smashwords, people are still downloading 'Dani's Shorts' AND 'TDX2'...SUPER!
Also looked at who's hitting the blog...this month the UK didn't even get into the Top 10!
1. the USA (good on ya)

New Smashwords interview + Dani's Shorts update

Smashwords has a new feature...an interview! You can also choose which questions to answer.
So, here's my shot...

https://www.smashwords.com/interview/DaniJCaile

'Dani's Shorts'...I've finally got the version I want up on Smashwords, but the downloads have...stopped. There were tons of downloads while I was playing around with it, trying to get the menu working properly and the cover the correct size, but now...it was even retweeted by someone with over 70,000 followers...and nothing. Oh well. It's out there. Working on Volume 2. And my next book :-)
Reviews of 'Dani's Shorts' would be much appreciated :-)

Two more 5* reviews of 'Manna-X'


Wow, it's all happening, 2 more great reviews for 'Manna-X'. It's FREEEEEEEEEE again tomorrow as there's an interview (I'll send the link as soon as I have it)
I didn't even notice this review on Goodreads...thanks Dave! (now I know who bought it on the 8th :-)

 
Irreverent, Absurd, Great Fun.

Some of my religious friends might be offended by this book, but only if they lack a sense of humor. I found the book hilarious and at times thought provoking. Its hard to classify the story. It's a bit Sci-Fi, a bit Fantasy, a good dose of Parody and spiced with Silliness. There is a lot of dialog, almost like reading a play at times. On a few occasions I got lost and had to re-read a section because I read too quickly the first time. This isn't a criticism of the author as much as a warning to slow down and enjoy the story. 
 
And this one on Amazon! Thanks, James!
5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it!, August 25, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Manna-X (Kindle Edition)
As a `non-believer' I must say I rather enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek mocking of God, Moses and the like. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's take on certain `historical' events and must say that it reminded me in a way of `The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ' by Philip Pullman.
Overall, I enjoyed the book very much, and would recommend it highly to those of you who aren't easily offended when it comes to the true nature of their `faith' to give it a go.
The storyline of Graham's search for the manna machine works well and provides a good base for an entertaining read.

2 more great reviews (Manna-X & Bethlehem Fiasco)

2 more great reviews, one 5*, one 4* (I know why...) :-)~


On 'Bethlehem Fiasco'...http://www.amazon.com/The-Bethlehem-Fiasco-ebook/dp/B007UJHQ42

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Absurdist Romp From The New Beckett August 24, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
I had a great time with author Dani J Caile's Manna-X and so I was excited to read this. He has done it again! Another highly original absurdist, sideways look at the meaning of life. This time it's the Jesus story - but with hobgoblins. A real feast for the brain, this witty, Monty Pythonesque tale is recommended for erudite readers in need of comic relief. 
 
 
4.0 out of 5 stars Serious or not, it's worth taking it., August 24, 2013
By 
PW COLLIER "PETE" (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manna-X (Paperback)
I was lost, but now I'm found! - neo-plantonic universe versus neo platonic universe, I get it. The object capable of changing the fabric of both physicality and non-physicality; sure, why not? It reads well, like a screen play, without direction and without setting. You know, this would make the foundation of a great 'Doctor Who' mini-series... maybe, we could get David Tenant back to be Reginald? This is said both in reverence and irreverence to Dani J. Caile's quirky book. I have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, read the damn book and you may, I think. 

Manna-X is the product of a wonderfully creative and unusual mind.

It's been a busy week or so. 13,000+ blog views (no more 'robot' views, they've stopped...hopefully, haven't had them for months), 3 free promotion days for Manna-X (a surprise from Germany), a collection of new reviews and now...the first review of 3 or 4 for Manna-X, and 1 for Bethlehem Fiasco coming...AND an interview on Monday (with another FREE day for Manna-X)
So here's the first review, it's a 4* but I know why...you'll find it on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Goodreads.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strangely Addictive, 24 Aug 2013
This review is from: Manna-X (Kindle Edition)
Manna-X is the product of a wonderfully creative and unusual mind. The author takes a "fresh" look at God, religion and spirituality in a satirical romp of quirky-humor, hidden-wisdom and daring fun. I took this with me to the beach and laughed repeatedly. He's invented (or reinvented) some fantasic and off the wall characters. I'll be looking forward to more by Dani Caile. Recommended to anyone with a sense of humor.
