I'm the author of The Sisters' Luck,...Hi! <br /><br />I'm the author of The Sisters' Luck, Thanks for giving it a look. <br /><br />I apologize for the summary. When I saw it, it's already all over the places and couldn't be fixed. (I tried.)<br /><br />I planned to do promotions after the book is released, since I have *very* limited budget and I hope promotions do translate into sales. <br /><br />As for their names; it has nothing to do with their powers. I imagine that their parents were amateur astronomer and eclipse enthusiasts, and were excited with having twins. <br /><br />I have 8 pages previews available <a href="http://machinegolem.com/luck/" rel="nofollow">here</a><br /><br />I hope you give it a chance.

When I was picking and commenting SLG didn't even have an image on the site. I'm glad to hear they updated it.<br /><br />But, I saw the previews elsewhere and I agree, it was good.Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-67474227759264179592010-06-23T23:09:29.357-04:002010-06-23T23:09:29.357-04:00And the preview scares me.And the preview scares me.DBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623609391354717580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-76163448593737982442010-06-23T22:52:48.705-04:002010-06-23T22:52:48.705-04:00There's a 10 page preview of Friendly Game on ...There's a 10 page preview of Friendly Game on Slave Labor's home page.

I have let stuff like that slide, but the writers should not.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-74550589516093528592010-06-23T07:46:38.844-04:002010-06-23T07:46:38.844-04:00"Sisters Luck GN by (W/A) Shari Chankham
Just..."Sisters Luck GN by (W/A) Shari Chankham<br />Just by touch, Umbra can steal good luck from people, while her twin Antumbra gives bad luck. So long as they are together, their abilities cancel each other out, so neither knows of her power until they go to different universities. There, things became ridiculously easy for Umbra, while Antumbra lived the life of an outcast. Antumbra can only live a normal life if she's near her sister, but Umbra has been using her power to gain fame and fortune and wants nothing to do with her twin. With the help of a mysterious stranger, Antumbra fights to regain her sister's love and fix the balance of luck in the universe."<br /><br />Umbra steals good luck from others and Antumbra gives bad luck? Isn't that the same thing? This poor summary and the overly cutesy names are a negative in any consideration I might give to checking this out. Really, if your two characters grow up not knowing of their powers until college age, why would their parents name them Thesis and Antithesis? Unless the names are the reasons for the powers (a story of the power of names?), this is just lazy and ill-conceived.Thommnoreply@blogger.com
