Exciting Announcements!

A few exciting announcements!
First up...

I would like to thank everyone that has already purchased a copy of "V.I.P" over the last year, and those that have read it FREE with Kindle Unlimited. In honor of the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of its release, I wanted to announce that it will be going on sale Wednesday May, 10th! This will be a week long Kindle Countdown Deal on Amazon, and for the first 72 hours, it will only cost .99¢.

*Date of sale changed from May 22nd to May 10th due to issues with Amazon



Title Reveal...

Also, I wanted to reveal the title of my next, full-length novel. It will be for sale on Amazon, soon, for $3.99 (subject to change).

"The Omnes Chronicles: Sacrifice"

is book one in a three part series that can only be described as a historical paranormal/supernatural saga.

As launch day approaches, I will be revealing the cover, synopsis and, of course, the date it will be live, and available for purchase on my Amazon sales page.
For now, here is a one line excerpt that as posted yesterday as part of #1LineWed, a hashtag on social media that prompts authors to share one line from their current work in progress. I recently hit 100k words, and the final process of editing and formatting has begun! 

Excerpt from book one of "The Omnes Chronicles: Sacrifice"


Stay tuned for more...
and as always, thanks for reading!

BE WEARY OF THIRD PARTY WEBSITES


It's been brought to my attention recently, that my book, "V.I.P", was found on a few 3rd party websites where they were offering it as a free download. All you have to do is enter your personal information to access the free downloads. I was contacted via email, and basically "told off" because someone did this and was immediately alerted by their virus protection software that malware had been installed to their computer. An hour later, their inbox was FULL of all kinds of soliciting emails. (Everything from credit card application forms, to mail order bride websites, to, of course, porn.

I, as politely as I could, told this person that I had nothing to do with what happened. My book is ONLY available through the Amazon.

Please remember, indie authors (and established authors for that matter) put a lot of hard work into what they do. Please give them the credit they deserve and only get their books from authorized websites. Even when they offer their work for FREE, go to their personal website, or their Amazon sales page to download it, so they can get the credit they deserve.

3rd party sites tend to use the cover of a book to lure people into submitting their personal information. That information is then used for nefarious purposes. You WILL get viruses, and/or malware, and your personal information WILL be used for reason you didn't give them permission to use it for. If you do this, I am not going to pay to have the viruses removed from your computer, and it does not mean that you are "owed" a copy of my book... that you tried to steal... by downloading it for free... from an unauthorized website.

My book is ONLY available on Amazon. If you see my book on any website that isn't Amazon, please know that I did not give them my permission to post it there, or offer it as a free download. I would also appreciate it if you could shoot me an email so I can have it taken down since it's the definition of copyright infringement. 

If you see it up somewhere, email me at tpanipinto@yahoo.com and send me a link to the site. I'll take care of the rest.   

A few of the sites I've already contacted have removed the pages, but some still refuse. It's a time consuming process, but we do what we have to do. 

    


I'm posting this just as much for myself as I am for my indie author friends, whose books I found up there along with my own. Again, please, buy the book from an authorized site so the author gets the credit they deserve. In some cases, if the .99 cents, or the $2.99 price tag is too much for you, email the author- some of them would rather send you a copy, or let you barrow a free copy, than have their book shared and illegally downloaded from a foreign 3rd party site.

As always, thanks for reading.

Curious? Take A Peek Inside...


Why not take a peek at the first chapter of "V.I.P". 
If it tickles your fancy, take advantage of the "New Year, New Books"

KINDLE COUNTDOWN DEAL



What are people saying about "V.I.P"?

 "Once I read the first chapter, I didn't want to stop reading it... The characters have flaws just like the rest of us which makes it easy to relate to them. All in all, it's a great read. It has a good pace and kept my attention from the start."

"Loved it! I read it in one night because I just...couldn't...stop."

"I can't wait to read more from this author."

"Loved it! I found myself unable to put my kindle down once I started. I'm not one to read, but this book had me hooked and wanting more."

"This book is a great read and has characters you can relate to."

"The book was awesome. Absolutely loved it. Couldn't put my phone down."


So, what's inside?



WARNING: "V.I.P" is not your typical romance. It's a gritty, raw, first person account of falling in love and getting your heart ripped out. It contains depictions of sex, drugs, rock & roll, bad language, and adult content. Given that, obviously it is intended for readers 18 and older.

Wren: Just a woman living life. She's the best photographer at The Miami Beat, a music magazine that covers all the hottest bands. 

Reaper: Smoking hot, bass playing, bad boy, for "9th Circle", Miami's hottest up-and-coming rock band. 

When they meet, there's mind numbing heat, great sex, and broken hearts. 

Now, Wren, along with her best friend, Abby, have rules for dealing with the hot boys backstage. They never get attached. They never screw the same one more than once, and they never, ever, take them home.

Since her first encounter with Reaper, Wren has held tight to the rules, and looks at love and relationships through jaded eyes and a guarded heart. Two years later, Wren is on top of the world. That is, until she's put on assignment covering "9th Circle" for their first big, headlining show. Wren never wants to fall in love again. Thankfully, what she has with Reaper isn't love... at least...that's what she keeps telling herself. Sometimes, there are just certain feelings you can't ignore. No matter how much you want to. He was a mistake, but now, he may just be exactly what she needs.
