Bi-lingual Fantasy book: Improve your German knowledge and get entertained


Duocarns - Die Ankunft + Duocarns - The Arrival in one book.


Improve your German knowledge and get entertained.


The story: On the hunt for their mortal enemies, the Bacanis, five attractive aliens – Duocarns warriors – find themselves stranded with their space cruiser near the Canadian city of Calgary. 
The crew possesses some unusual talents… 
Their leader, Solutosan, is the first to gradually become aware of the erotic fascination that he holds for humans. 
The streetworker Aiden manages to snare him for herself. 
The gay warrior Tervenarius also attracts the attentions of an earthling - David, the estate agent. 
Although he resists at first, David is not to be put off and things soon escalate. 
The Duocarns suspect that the Bacanis are also on Earth. Despite the distractions of their amorous adventures, the warriors continue their pursuit. 
After landing in Vancouver, the Bacanis have rather less luck than their foes. 
Led by their unscrupulous, power-hungry captain Bar, they embark on a secret campaign of robbery and murder amongst the unsuspecting human population. Bar establishes a drug empire – but never guesses that his nemesis is still closing in on him. 



Try this book about readers are already saying:
From "Mummy":
The Duocarns series is a sci-fi/fantasy series originally written in German. This is the first book in the series which has been translated. It is very different to anything I have read before, not strictly mm but not fully mf either, instead it contains both all mixed up with a weird bunch of aliens, and it is very interesting and really enjoyable.

It took me some time to get into the story but once I became familiar with the names of the aliens and their landing on Earth I began to enjoy it.

The story follows two groups of aliens who crash land onto earth. The first group of aliens - the Bacanis who crash in Vancouver, are the baddies, regarded as predators by the Duocarns warriors who hunt them.
They are a bit like alien vampires and unfortunately they find that they quite like the taste of humanity.

The Duocarns are the goodies. They had been hunting the Bacanis and followed them as they crashed to Earth. The Duocarns land in Calgary and although they suspect that the Bacanis are on earth they don't know where but they know they must eventually hunt and eliminate them.

So both groups are stranded on Earth, the brave hunters and the evil hunted, and that is where the adventure begins. All of them have to find clothing, food and transport, and a way to survive on Earth. They also have to come to terms with the fact that unlike ET they can never go home. :(

Ans so they start to adapt finding that Earth is different. Here they have affinity with humans and with nature and animals, and as the Bacanis soon find out they have the power to do great harm or great good. This is a sci - fi adventure story with mf and mm romance and it was a really good read.

My favourite parts of the story are the relationships. The first part of the book focuses on the mf relationship between Aiden and Solutosan. It was nicely done, with a solid female character who kept her wits about her and a noble alien who gradually responds to love.

There is also the relationship between Chrom and the she wolf. Chrom is a good Bacani and is one of the Duocarns. He has a form a bit like a wolf. He isn't human but has an animal and semi-human form. He has a relationship with the wolf when in his wolf form which results in a pup/weird child alien.

Then there is the mm relationship with David and Tervenarius. These two hit it off because they are both very weird. Tervenarius being Duocarns has to hide his features from humans but David gets to know him and gets to love his golden eyes and pale translucent skin. The two hit it off when they both realise that they share a deep love of plant life, fungus and poison fish.

(Yes. Exactly. The alien weirdo and the human weirdo get together)

The story is unique and good fun. And I appreciate the author for sending me a free copy :) I really enjoyed it and I think other people will enjoy it as well. I can't say that I found it erotic. It is fantasy/sci-fi/adventure and enjoyable, with romance.

It is unique which I appreciated. I liked the way in which the characters were all very different and I liked the way they adapted to their circumstances, of course the Duocarns in a great way causing no harm, and the Bacanis through murder and mayhem.

My only disappointment is that this is the first story in what looks like a really interesting series but the other books are not yet translated :(

Boo hoo.

Alas I wait in hope. Or maybe I could take up German language classes?

A really good book which I truly enjoyed.

Hot literature by MissMary

2) Intriguing Erotic Stories
3) Fetishmodel MissMary Vol 1
4) Fetishmodel MissMary Vol 2

Extract from "Intriguing Erotic Stories"

AT THE POOL

The sun was glowing in the sky like a giant red ball. Terzia’s elegantly furnished living room was awash with the amber-red light and the final warm rays were cast across the pool as Adam slid into the water. He had no idea what to wear for swimming, so he simply slipped in naked. Terzia had her hands full with her visitor. Just after they had arrived at the villa, Lucia announced herself, ringing the doorbell like crazy and immediately throwing herself into Terzia’s arms as the door opened.

Adam swam a lap in the pool and enjoyed the heated water washing over him. What an exhausting day! The strange catwalk training for the upcoming fashion show had really taken it out of his muscles and bones, leaving him feeling drained.

He studied the two women in the living room through the open glass front. The divan, on which Terzia was sitting,  was facing away from him and he could only see the back of her head. He could not see Lucia, but he heard her occasional, quiet answers.

Adam lifted himself on to one of the floating chairs and let himself drift. Out of curiosity, he kept an eye on how events were unfolding in the living room. Terzia’s fingers, covered in rings of all shapes and sizes, clutched the red, velvet-covered backrest. She sighed and her hand glided restlessly along the seat. He had never heard her like this before. She groaned louder.

Terzia turned her head to the pool, continuing to sigh and groan loudly. He leaned against the arm of the inflatable pool chair and swayed slightly. Terzia looked at him and he slowly began to realize what was going on in the room. He smirked as Terzia fixed her eyes on his body and cried out ecstatically one final time. Silence.

“What are you looking at?” Lucia whispered hoarsely. She sat up and her eyes darted to the pool. “You are staring at him while I...” Her voice quivered. “You cannot do this to me!” she shrieked.
“You see, I can,” he heard Terzia reply, cool as a cucumber. A few moments later, the house shook briefly as the front door slammed.

Terzia came to the pool in a white fluffy robe. “Adam, would you please be so kind as to wear a bathing suit in future?” she asked, grinning.

How to promote a free kindle ebook

Hi everybody,

I'm Pat McCraw, German author of a big fantasy series called "Duocarns". Today I'd like to explain how I promoted my new book without spending a lot of money.

Two years ago I decided to have the first book of the Duocarns translated and the result of said translation is more than acceptable.

There is a problem however: I can consider myself a little light to the US/UK market. All new, with my first english book to offer.The Duocarns have a big fanbase in Germany, but that alone doesn't help promoting the book, as no one from there can actually buy e/books from Amazon.com.

I can tell you what I did:
First, I put the price of the book to 0.99$.It's not a lot, but if you are unknown it's a good price to start with.I posted the news in several G+ communities and FB groups ... and sold 10 books in 1 week.

A bit later I found out that a book is absolutely nothing without verified reviews.
Most of the promotion pages I found wanted money or atleast 10 positive reviews. A few German friends, who like English literature, read the book and wrote reviews.But since I gave them the book for free, none of those reviews have been verified. Same old problem.

My book is a "Select" book, so I started a "free" promotion. I wasn't sure how many days would be best because in Germany the sellings of the free books start to stagnate after 3 days.I ended up setting it to 5 days and started to promote the book 10 days before that, since I wasn't entirely sure how the US market worked.

I spent some days to list it in on several pages, who publish lists with free ebooks. These pages have been quite helpful to do so:

http://www.ebookbooster.com/
http://www.anneliewendeberg.com/2014/07/15/how-where-to-advertise-your-ebook/
http://booksonline.directory/index.php

The book "Duocarns - The Arrival" started it's free promotion tour on 09/05/14 to 09/09/14.
I posted it twice daily in 20 FB book/authors/promotion groups and in about 10 G+ communities.
Since I am member of http://bookblogs.ning.com/profile/PatMcCraw I wrote blog articles and promoted it in several groups.
I also asked a few American friends to "buy" and review it. And my cover artist promoted it in Yaoi groups.
I have been using links for all countrys, minimized by http://www.bitly.com.
The links contain my amazon partnership ID, which shows my sale statistics. Bitly also shows how often the link has been clicked.

Posting the Amazon link by it's own, over and over again, seems a bit bland to me. People don't want to see the same pictures all the time.
Which is why I made several promotion pictures for the book and changed them frequently: They were all made by http://www.imikimi.com



The result:

Downloads in 5 days:
D - 94
US - 519
UK - 65
misc - 30

Total ca. 700

Most of the downloads were made on the first day. (350). After that, just as guessed, it dropped and stagnated.
It prooves that the German and US market aren't that different when it comes to the free promotion days. So I'd never set it above 3 days again.

Kindle is back on 0.99$ and I will see if the promotion will have a "sales-tail".

The promition of the english book was actually advantageous for the german edition. It made german people purchase their native edition after having seen it.




If the promotion days will give the book new verified reviews is not clear yet. But I can hope!
Maybe my experience will help with your own "free promotional days".
I wish you success :)
Pat

Please do not think that my book is in the same bad English than this article. 
Professionals translated and edited it. *smile*

Brand new: Duocarns - The Arrival by Pat McCraw

Time, work, money - now the result: DUOCARNS - THE ARRIVAL


Two years are over since I decided to have the Duocarns translated. 
My English is understandable, but that's all.

I started to find an translator via translatorscafe, got lots of applications and asked the applicatns to give me an excerpt how they are planning to translate the German text.

I was astonished because I never thought that there are so many different way to translate an German sentence. I chosed 4 examples and posted it to G+ in order to find English or American authors to check and advice whom I should give the job. 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hd00WGKa5gKzvhHnEK_DvSU-e-hnGc_tO3Cit4OYbEA/edit 

They decided Ed was the best.

Edward Maltby from UK got the job and started to work.He did a great job. But after translation I found out that the German original was still looking through the words.

I searched for an editor and found Alex Millward from UK, who did not know the German original. He changed the book into a proper international English. He also did a great job.



Finally my daughter Sialyxz, who is reading tons of fanfiction, checked the result, found some unlogical things and a some grammar problems. After that proof I decided that its enough.

I spent a lot of money and time, but I dont regret it, because today I finally present: "Duocarns - The Arrival".


The story: On the hunt for their mortal enemies, the Bacanis, five attractive aliens – Duocarns warriors – find themselves stranded with their space cruiser near the Canadian city of Calgary. The crew possesses some unusual talents…
Their leader, Solutosan, is the first to gradually become aware of the erotic fascination that he holds for humans. The streetworker Aiden manages to snare him for herself.
The gay warrior Tervenarius also attracts the attentions of an earthling - David, the estate agent. Although he resists at first, David is not to be put off and things soon escalate.
The Duocarns suspect that the Bacanis are also on Earth. Despite the distractions of their amorous adventures, the warriors continue their pursuit.
After landing in Vancouver, the Bacanis have rather less luck than their foes. Led by their unscrupulous, power-hungry captain Bar, they embark on a secret campaign of robbery and murder amongst the unsuspecting human population. Bar establishes a drug empire – but never guesses that his nemesis is still closing in on him.

Its on Kindle right now. Have fun!
