The Chart Rush Starts Now!
Crescent by Phil Rossi. The Chart Rush Starts Now! Free-Read(tm) version is here:
http://tinyurl.com/mamo8b
Widget is over there :)----->
About the Book
Darkness has inspired fear since mankind first watched the sun go down. Bad things hide in the dark feral beasts with mouths full of razors waiting for a taste of flesh.
But now, the darkness is stirring with a life of its own. Crescent Station is the last bastion of civilization, floating in the cold, outer systems where colonized space gives way to the sparser settlements of the Frontier. Like the boom towns of distant Eart' s Old American West, Crescent Station is a gateway to power, wealth, and opportunity for anyone who isn't afraid to get his or her hands dirty.
But deep within the station s bowels, in Crescent s darkest and most secret places, an ancient evil is awakening and hungry, and it threatens the very fabric of space and time. Will the residents of Crescent Station find a way to stop it before the terror drives them insane?
Or is it already too late?
Reviews
Crescent is the last stop at the intergalactic crossroads of gritty sci-fi and pucker-inducing horror. --Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious
Crescent is the ultimate sci-fi / horror mashup. It's a wicked blend of the claustrophobia seen in Ridley Scott's Alien, and the viral demonology of Carpenter's Prince Of Darkness with the hard-drinkin' bad attitude of Battlestar Galactica added for good measure. The future has never been so frightening. Phil Rossi brings it. --J.C. Hutchins, author of Personal Effects: Dark Art and 7th Son: Descent
Phil Rossi has crafted a space station tale with sex, horror, and vibrant attention to tech and human detail. Evocatively served, highly recommended. ---Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates

We’ve been busy!
We have been so busy around here, between DMP stuff and "real" life (yes, I do occassionally have one of those!) that it's been a while since I've posted anything. So here we go... a long awaited update!
Crescent by Phil Rossi. We're making a run on Amazon on this one July 9, 2009. If you'd like icons, posters and other materials to help us spread the word, please visit the website.
Now we know you want to order, and we know some of you have but please... we're asking PLEASE don't order until the 9th! (It's really not that far away now!)
If you need a fix earlier than that, you can listen to the free podcast at the website.
Not to be outdone, we've two others heading your way.
The Necromancer's Bones by Deby Fredericks bring us back to the world of The Magister's Mask. And like the 'Mask, you'll find the book full of fun characters and interesting mysteries, all wrapped up in the gorgeous world of the magisters.
Intrigue, romance and a world of fantasy... really, what more could you ask for?
And last, but not least! Silver and Gold by David Sakmy
ster. A tale of the yukon during the gold rush, Silver and Gold has all the earmarks of a great tale. Adventure, romance and gold! (with a few hungry abominable snowman thrown in for good measure!).
I love all my books, and all my authors—they do a good job, the stories are always fun, and we’ve got enough variety in styles and stories that anyone can find something good to read.
All titles will be available via the Free-Read(tm) program around their release dates. If you want to be notified of their release, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter and befriend us on Facebook.

Bump in the Road for Nina Kimberly the Merciless
Attention everyone!
Nina Kimberly the Merciless here, star of Nina Kimberly the Merciless, by Christiana Ellis. As I am sure you are all aware, the battle has run into an unforeseen interruption.
The campaign on Friday the 15th started off extremely well, and my book rose from a sales rank of 2 hundred Thousand to number 533 overall by 11:40 AM Eastern Time. Although the book had not yet been posted to the specific genre charts, that sales rank would have been Number #11 in Fantasy, #2 in “Epic” Fantasy, and #1 in “General” Fantasy. That was before noon eastern time! There is no doubt in my mind that that was only the beginning.
But the Inertians must have been afraid, because they then resorted to a desperate tactic that we had not forseen. It is still not clear exactly what happened, but the Inertians have caused some kind of an error in the Amazon system that resulted in the book being reported as out of print. When that happened, loyal barbarians could no longer purchase the book, thus preventing us from rising any higher in the rankings.
Right now, we don’t know yet when this will be fixed. We didn’t foresee this strategy. However, we have our best spies and shield-breakers working on this as we speak and hopefully we will be through their defenses soon.
In the meantime, I know that there are a lot of you out there, just like me. Spoiling for a fight! You thought you were going to fight some evil spirits, only to have a door slammed in your face! If you’re like me, that ticks you off and you want to do something about it! Well, here’s the new plan. Right now, the Amazon issue requires a scalpel, not a broadsword, and so I have different orders for you, my loyal horde!
Although continuing to attack Amazon is satisfying, right now, it is counter-productive, so instead, I want all of you to focus on finding and converting new recruits! The Inertians specialize in disrupting momentum, preventing changes from ever happening. Now that they have interrupted our campaign, we must work all the harder to be ready to resume as soon as we breach the shields again. We must find anyone and everyone who has not yet heard the call, and prepare them to join our cause!
We have several tools available, the videos, the promos, but your best weapon is the pdf version of the book. It is easily distributed on blogs, websites, forums, and Podcast feeds. It has the complete version of the story, so people unfamiliar with the story can determine whether or not they will like it, and most importantly, it contains links to the Amazon storefront page. The people who click those links now will not be able to purchase it yet, but every click-through will be one more hit, showing the Inertians that their tactic has not eliminated demand for the book.
So go, help spread the word, spread the pdf version of the book far and wide, and when we once again break through the Inertians defenses, we will be ready. I know I can count on all of you, and thank you for your loyalty and support. Now get out there, and be merciless!
