Cross-Genre or Trans-Genre?
Our soon to be published novel, starts off like a "John le Carre" read, according to our trial reader in USA. It then has some of the hottest s*x scenes to rival any other best seller, and slides easily into heartfelt romance.
Now that's a "page turner" read worth waiting for!

DEFINITIONS
One of the issues a writer has is defining what a Novel is. Thriller, drama, erotic or romance? It can be so many things, or all!

A Drama tends to work its way though an issue or life matter at a steady pace. A Thriller will keep you turning pages, excitedly wondering what happens next!
Psychology can involve character actions, or what they say or do. Is she or he a Psychotic, acting all sweet one minute then dangerously aggressive or out of control the next? Do they plot and scheme to manipulate an innocent person into a relationship just to use them?
Romance and Eroticism are different scenes. Erotic like "Fifty Shades", with explicit and stimulating s*x scenes. Or Romantic, when two hearts meet and feeling grow strong, but s*x is a far more gentle and caring event.

All of these factors can be found in most books, although some concentrate on one aspect more than another.
What's your choice?

"Struggling Author!"
I'm sure that you have heard this saying before. Do you know why it came about though?
An author usually takes two years or more, sat in a chair, square bum, square eyes, creating a Manuscript to share with the world. This costs hundreds of hours of electricity, often discomfort, but nevertheless "excitement" that those who may read the book will glean something they like, or something that might make them happy, healthier, or more knowledgeable.
The Printers charge, for example here only, say £4 to print the book (adding separate Catalogue and other costs!)
The Reader pays £10 for it.
The Bookseller wants up to 55% of the price just to sell it! That means £5.50 to the shop or on-line shop, £4 for the Printer leaving just £0.50p for the hardest worker of all, the Author!

The Writer has to pay c.£175 for ISBN numbers. Electricity Bills, a PC, any Software needed and possible an expensive DTP Package which will be the only one able to create the files that the Printer needs! Then their are other charges made for Files/Catalogues/etc.

This is where the term "Struggling Author" comes from, as he or she will need to sell well over 2,000 books just to break even.

Please, please, consider the struggling author, and don't share books, or donate them to a charity shop. Buy, read, keep. Many are worth a second read, later in life.

Support the Struggling Author.

Hold on, it's coming!
The forthcoming novel was started in 1976, on a Typewriter!
The "usual" events, you know, marriage, kids, divorce, etcetera, came along and placed many a delay on the creation of the book. However, it is now an astonishing 16 Chapters and over 213,000 words!

Is It Worth It?
One Editorial Checker/Reader, based in USA, is delighted with the plot, especially as it has references to "secret installations" that he actually knows well! His other comment was, "this is a real page turner!"
The Author. Mike Claywood, whose first novel this is, wants this to be as perfect as it can be. He said, "The readers should feel like they actually know the characters and places, even though it's clearly fiction."

LIFE FORCE
What we refer to as "Life Force" is otherwise known as Ch'i or Qi, the ancient Chinese Taoist word for "Life Energy". We, Humans, are electrical creatures. Various forms of electricity or Ch'i pervade the Universe, and give life to all within, including our animal and plant species. Knowledge is stored energy, which helps us evolve. That's why books are so important.

Education.
Most Schools today teach about Christianity, Muslim, Hindu or even Buddhist beliefs. A growing number are Muslim only schools. Each one of the above has books supporting the educational needs. There was a huge, gaping hole for the only philosophical belief system in the world which is non-violent, non-excluding and all -inclusive, The Practical Philosophy of Tao.

The Practical Philosophy of Tao, for schools and individuals.
This book explains, with simple illustrations, how over 5,000 years, observers called "Taoists" have studied the natural ways of the universe and built up a practical philosophical system which can then be applied to many practical things. like T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Feng Shui, Traditional Chinese Medicine, even farming and building!

This book can not only enlighten students as to a wider thinking process, but stimulate young minds into being great thinkers who understand Life and its values, respect, balance, harmony and other "missing values" from todays confused societies. If you know a school teacher, then let them know about this book that their school is missing.

Q: Why Read A Book?
A: Knowledge or Ideas.

Someone only writes a book when they feel that they have something worth sharing with others, be it a imagination stimulating novel, or a work of facts that help develop the Human Mind. This book is one from the latter category. The author writes of long standing skills, such as Feng Shui, T'ai Chi, Traditional Medicine and the very practical Taoist philosophy that lies behind those and other Arts. The he asks, "What would happen if...." this was taught in schools, or colleges, and how might it effect growing minds, perhaps more positively.

The sign of a good thinker is their ability to see inside the box and outside the box at the same time.
'Practical Taoism; Philosophy. Psychology. Sociology.' fits that bill.

Another of our popular books among students of Taijiquan and The Way. T'ai Chi = Supreme Ultimate / Ch'uan = Boxing Exercise.

T'ai Chi Ch'uan is not the most popular exercise system in the world for no good reason. It help with stress, high blood pressure, toning muscles and nerves, digestive system, mental health and calmness and much, much more. This popular book reveals the story behind it and methods involved.

"Ch'i what?"
The comment you usually get from Orthodox medical people when they ask how you healed so quickly.
" I used Ch'i Kung and acupressure/or die."
"Ch'i what?"

It's amazing how science and technology have come so far that they have lost sight of the simple things, the ones we used to have, that were used for hundreds of years before someone made a killing (lit.) out of petroleum based drugs.

Ch'i Kung or Qigong mans "Energy training." Ch'i ("Chee") is any kind of energy, but we produce three internally. being "electrical creatures", we have a an electrical brain that can transmit and send energy, plus a nervous system which is not too unlike the circuits in your Computer, or phone Computer.

Many hundreds of years ago, clever physicians who studied Tao (The Way of Life), discovered that we could improve our health or even heal using this energy they call Ch'i. This little book tells the secrets behind it and also illustrates the most popular Qigong exercise set in the world, Baduanjin or Pa T'uan Chin, the Eight Strands of Silk Brocade.

Qigong & Baduanjin. New safer Standardised Set.
ISBN No.: 9780954293222 - available any book store.

Long Life Diet.
Our best selling book world-wide on Diet and Health.
There is no point in Fad diets, nothing to be gained in starvation, only lack of energy and ill health.
T'ai Chi Diet II - Ch'ang Ming (meaning 'Long Life'), is the only book you'll ever need, apart from maybe a Recipe book! This book is a long-term study guide that helps you understand what you eat, then change, just one step at a time, the safer way.
There are also Special Needs sections, for those who have already neglected their diets and become ill. The Taoist approach, which has been studied over many hundreds of years, utilises the principle of correction - loose what makes you ill, and eat what makes you stronger.

Title: T'ai Chi Diet II - Ch'ang Ming. By Myke Symonds.
ISBN No.: 9780954293239
