My Novel

[hagbard_celine]

I've decied to put my second novel, "Rockall" online for free. it was published as a paperback in 2004, but sales have dried up and it's just sitting there not being read. I think many of you will like it because it's all about the kind of things we discuss on the forum.

It's about a group of people who go to live on an unknown island. they discover some pretty paradigm-shifting things and in the end find out about the NWO.

Our HMHT, non-gay friend Fantana has been good enough to host it for me in PDF format. I'll post a link below as soon as he's done it.

Thank you very much ... I am sure we will Enjoy!

[hagbard_celine]

Thanks for posting the link, Fan. :)

This edition is slightly different from the original 2004 book because I revised it separately from the final draft. But the basic story is the same.

You'll find its themes are very relevant to the subject matter of this forum. Hope you like it.

[hagbard_celine]

Fan, the link seems to be dead. Can you fix it?

Thanks, mate.:)

Works fine here!

That's good news. Must be just me!

why not: find a new distributor and re-publish? after all, it's not like it's not relevant or fresh -- "everybody knows" but who's doing anything about it? it wouldn't really be a reprint, and if sales dried up, well, that means you are an established seller and could try again. i would buy it. I read The Homing Pigeons in 1985.

Would be worth it is all. Adobe Acrobat is not worth the time i have with this bad connection...

I could try getting a contract with a mainstream publisher. They turned me down before, but what have I got to lose?

[hagbard_celine]

Those of you who've read my novel will wonder if I'm clairvoyant! These people are in a similar situation to the ErkDwaLa of Rockall:

I don't think the pdf link should be wrapped in media tags, it's not working for me either.

Looking forward to reading it Hagbard, if I can get a download?

Brilliant! Thanks!

Cheers, mate. I've already downloaded it and can always email it to you if necesary, but the link seems to work for some people. Here is is in URL tags: http://www.fantana.net/Rockall.pdf Let me know how you get on.

[hagbard_celine]

Brilliant! Thanks!





Cool TM. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Anyone familiar with David's stuff will recognize many of the themes in the story

[tiswas]

Why not take it to a publisher as well Haggie.

I'm thinking of trying that to get a new edition now I've had to close down Aldyth Press. It got some good reviews. Dean Powell of the Western Mail called it "an enjoyable romp" and gave it three stars out of four.

I got it now mate, thanks. You had your own publishing company? It takes a lot of time and effort to write a novel.

Do you have a picture cover for it? That would be interesting to see.

[2013]

Sorry, mate, there's nothing online. Only pics of my first novel:http://www.gwales.com/goto/biblio/en/0954222903 My own PC is on the blink and I'm posting at an internet cafe, but as soon as I'm back online at home, I'll take aphoto and post it.

Thanks.:) My first novel was about Wales and I didn't need to give myself a Welsh nom-de-plume.

It's 280 pages on Word point 10! In the book form it's about 700 pages!

Hi HC.
My link works, if I read on line can I increase print size?
I hope you are well.
I have a Welsh Mother, born in Pembroke and a brother who lives there now.
I would be where I would wish to live if I ever returned to live.
I watched A.J's, Endgame last night. I liked it very much. OK, not much we don't know here but he is trying to wake up those who don't.
1984 - 1776, a revolution is required,
love,lizzy

Hi Lizzy,

I admire AJ, but he doesn't go far enough. David has realized something he hasn't: The Illuminati are our creations and we have to "uncreate" them if wwe're going to be free. Simply "getting rid" of them is not enough and will not work in the long term.

Take care,

HC

Hey, that's good. You should have your own website selling these books mate.

There's a lot of talent on this forum. The next time we meet up we're going to make a little trailer for your books, if you're game that is?

Nice one Hagbard.;)

I downloaded your novel and have been reading it. So far I have read the first two chapters. It is very well written. I must say I am very impressed with your writing style.

It reads very smoothly and your dialogue is natural and well placed.

I came across this website just now, and I thought about you. I don't know how interested you are in publishing it, but this website looks very promising.

Here is the link. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080102/ap_on_hi_te/business_of_life;_ylt=Aj4yO5a75PnFQs6ENj4rWT0DW7oF ) I hope you find it helpful.

PS--I'm off to read another chapter--LOL (I really like the character name of Dill. It reminds me of Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird. She has a character named Dill in it, too.)

[gravityhero23]

Hey Hagbard my seafaring man - will you invite me onboard the Leif Ericson i've got your your great great great great great great uncle Sigismundo Celine here on the psychic hotline wanting to pass on this message to you (((((( the Miskasquamish message of this is the Truth and from the heart ) -

i thoroughly look forward to reading this book - - just downloaded it yet it's 4am too late or early for now - - later definitely - -

Thanks, mate. :) I might ask for a contract with this publisher. The new POD books mean that they can take on any manuscript with no obligation.

Hope you enjoy Rockall.:)

Good luck and I hope you'll post a few sample extracts here.
I'm a bit drunk right now. Sorry about the typoes.

Hello, hagbard,

I just wanted to check in with you and let you know I am a little over half way finished with your novel. It is a great book! I really have fallen in love with some of your characters--such as Dill and Kayleigh.

I don't want to give anything away so I won't comment on the plot here. Would it be okay to pm you after I have finished reading it? I would love to discuss and ask some questions of you about it.

Thanks so much for sharing this novel with the forum!:)

[kweli]

Thank you very much HC. Really looking forward to reading it. It's very generous of you to share your work like this. Cheers :)

Thanks very much, Nessa!:) It's great that you enjoy the book and feel involved in the story. It means it's a job well done on my part. I won't spoil the plot, but I will say to anyone yet to read it: it is relevant to the Illuminati and the NWO.

By all means PM me, but also why not comment on this link. I've set up a forum board specially for Rockall readers: http://hpanwoforum.freeforums.org/viewforum.php?f=8&sid=5bde36c94a92d860e741dd54b9036c06

You're welcome, Kweli. Sales of the book have dried up and I thought I'd put it online rather than it just sitting there unread. Hope you enjoy it.

Cool! I'll pop over there as soon as I can. See you there.:cool:

I just wanted to let you know that I just finished the novel--WOW! So many twists and turns, it literally kept me reading all day yesterday. I read four chapters in just a few hours--my brain hurt.:D

But it was definitely worth it. I loved the novel.

I posted a comment over at the hpanwo forum on the Rockall thread.

hi, hagbard, hope you're having a great day! I just wanted to post so you could check out my signature--;)

Thanks for giving me permission to use this quote by Kerroj. It really resonates with me. We have just read a short story in one of my English classes called "The Vision Quest" by Lame Deer (Native American). That is exactly the point made in this story. Just because we don't "win" or "have a vision" doesn't mean we didn't accomplish something.

Great book!:D

That's great, Nessa! :) You've done me the favour here because it's an honour to see my own writing in someone's sig. i'm glad someone found my novel that inspiring.

I was influenced by native American thought in inventing the Erkdwala, especially Chief Seattle. Like so many "civilized" cultures, there are common features to all the world's indiginous cultures too, especially through Shamanism. The difference with the Erkdwala is that Kerroj is both tribal chief and Shaman together; usually the two jobs were seperate. Kerroj is probably my favorite character. He has a fatalistic strength that allows him to cope with the sudden exposure to the outside world and the destruction of his homeland. He guides his people through the hard times of the occupation to the happier era of "Free Rockall".

I hope those newly-contacted Amazon Indians have a person like him among them. They're about to experience just what the Erkdwala did.:(

I've read it twice!

I actually identify very much with the young man in the story. There are times when I've done things, sometimes some rather stupid things that make me cringe when I remember them, to force a vision or some other kind of spiritual experience. But of course it doesn't work like that! You never get what you want by force if you're seaching for enlightenment. Hopefully I will not be chased by an intelligent boulder before I learn my lesson!:eek:

Have you checked out hagbard's link on page four of this thread to the hpanwo forum? There's a discussion thread over this novel if you are interested in discussing it. :)

Thanks.:) I'll have to think about that. It's not online and I've got no PC versions of it unfortunately, only the books. I could scan it in I suppose...

Then again, come to think of it, the old draft docs might be on floppy disk at my dads house.

[hagbard_celine]

Is There a Link To It, i wouldn't mind reading it you have a true gift a talent of story writing............:):);)


Cheers, mate. I hope you still think so afterwards!:o Unfortunately it's not online right now.

The book is called Evan's Land and it came out in 2002. It's a futuristic story about a Welsh bloke who's living in England and goes back to Wales.

[nessa felagund]

I am bumping this thread to keep it on the first page of forum talent. This is a really great novel. If you haven't checked it out yet, I encourage you to do so.

The novel deals with issues we are facing today, such as the fight against the NWO, Big Oil destroying natural habitats, plus many others. It's worth the read!

Keep up the good work, hagbard. Your writing is reaching people! :)

I've decided to create my own online edition of Rockall. This one is slightly different, and improved I think, to the story in the original book. I've so far only done it up to Chapter 6 (If you're that fast a reader!:eek:), but will finish it soon:

Chapter 10, the last chapter is up now:):cool::

http://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2009/03/rockall-chapter-10.html

This means that the entire novel of Rockall is now online, free for all to read.:cool:

Now at last I can write some new material!:) I've got more planned I assure you. Anything I write from now on will go straight onto Ben's Bookcase. I'm not going to attempt to get my writing published as books; the urgent situation the world is in makes the conventional method too slow:(:eek:. Any information we have needs to be available immediately, even if it just fictional allegory.
