Who Are All These Enemies of The King? (article) by Beth Trissel on AuthorsDen

That quote by Benjamin Franklin gives a powerful feel for the turbulent atmosphere that swept the country during the American Revolution. I spent years researching and writing historical romance novel, ENEMY OF THE KING, an exciting journey back to the drama and romance of that time period, with a focus on the Southern face of the war. Think Carolina backcountry and Francis Marion, 'the Swamp Fox.'

Blurb: 1780, South Carolina: While Loyalist Meriwether Steele recovers from illness in the stately home of her beloved guardian, Jeremiah Jordan, she senses the haunting presence of his late wife. When she learns that Jeremiah is a Patriot spy and shoots Captain Vaughan, the British officer sent to arrest him, she is caught up on a wild ride into Carolina back country, pursued both by the impassioned captain and the vindictive ghost. Will she remain loyal to her king and Tory twin brother or risk a traitor’s death fighting for Jeremiah? If Captain Vaughan snatches her away, he won’t give her a choice."~

ENEMY OF THE KING currently has 13 Five Star reviews at Amazon, and nothing less. I don't have any control over what readers leave there so this strikes me as significant, but it also means not enough people are reading it. Every story has its critics. Come out, come out, wherever you are. But first, you have to read the book. If you'd like to take the challenge and see if ENEMY OF THE KING lives up to its reputation, I welcome your thoughts. Leave it a review.

ENEMY OF THE KING received a five cup review from Coffee Time Romance, earned Five Books and won book of the week at Long and Short Reviews, received a super review and a You Gotta Read rating from You Gotta Read, came in third at the 2009 Publisher's Weekly BHB Reader's Choice Best Books, and made the Best Romance Novel list at Buzzle.

1780 South Carolina, spies and intrigue, a vindictive ghost, the battle of King’s Mountain, Patriots and Tories, pounding adventure, pulsing romance…ENEMY OF THE KING

Beth, first off it's nice to meet you. I'd like to tell you, though, that if you've joined Authors Den with hopes of selling books here it just isn't going to happen. Authors Den is a great place to present thoughts and ideas along with submissions of poetry, short stories or excerpts from your books, but most that have joined want to sell their own books and aren't really in the market to buy books. So far I've had 457,524 hits on my submissions and have sold four books. I've come to accept this and am no longer bothered by it and kind of look at AD as a place to be with thousands of people with the same interests as myself along with a few that I follow and that follow what I submit. I do wish you good luck, though.
