Book

[Gabber]

Hi guys,

My new book (ebook not hardcover) is available on Amazon. It is for kids from nine to eighteen but anyone can read it. The website is not ready so I won't post a website URL. You can visit the Amazon page at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074118CW#_

It's only 99 cents so buy ten each, lol. You can download Kindle apps for free, only takes a minute and you can email book to anyone. I am not marketing outside of GG until the site is ready, I just wanted to tell you guys so basically you are the first to know about it.

I have another book due to be released in 6 weeks. merci

p.s. if you do buy, please, please go back a day later and put a nice review

[krevedko]

To tel you the truth I am more interested to read your first book - the one devoted to russian brides. so if there is a site where i could get an fb2 version, just whistle and I'm gonna pay all my savings amounting to 2.23 $ (well, i'm a single mom, you can't expect me to have saved more, can you?)

[Gabber]

yah, that's not in ebook form. Guess I should consider that if I can actually find the original copy somewhere. I'll try and do that this weekend. xxx

[krevedko]

thanks, let us know how it goes

I had an opportunity to read Bobby's book a few years back. It was a fun read, and I recommend it. :good2:

Thanks. But it's not the full book if I understand correctly.

This is why I requested an fb2 version as I would like to read it.

:Laie_80::biggrin:Looks like Russian woman disagrees with Bobby's opinion :Laie_97:
Robert Dornan's Goodbye American Woman is a curious example of a North-American anti-feminist backlash. The author of this book feels uncomfortable in the world where women have claimed for themselves a place of equality and human dignity. He hates the idea that a woman can have thoughts, desires, and opinions of her own. In the inhospitable universe where women have other goals than attracting and satisfying men and men have to learn to treat women as human beings, Dornan turns to the myth that submissive, compliant, doll-like women exist in parts of the world still unspoiled by vicious feminism. The greatest joke of the book is that in his search for such women he goes to Russia, of all places.

Anybody with a modicum of intellect and historical knowledge would realize that Russian-speaking countries have a historical legacy of female empowerment unmatched in the West. Women of my generation (early 30ies) were brought up by mothers and grandmothers almost a 100% of whom worked full-time their entire adult lives. In class, at work, at home, and in the majority of public settings, Russian-speaking women have been dominant (or, I would even say, domineering) for decades. This, of course, came at the price of complete sexual disempowerment and repression for women.

This is why it is so hilarious that anybody would be so deluded as to search for a sexy submissive doll in a Russian-speaking country. If anything, the pathetic mail-order bride seekers find the exact opposite.

In the book, Dornan lists the facts of what he encounters in Russia but demonstrates complete impotence when trying to analyze them. His level of ignorance about other cultures is staggering. At various points, you actually start feeling sorry for this completely misguided individual who is being played for a total fool by wily Russian people.

American women haven't lost anything valuable in Dornan, while Russian women have acquired a willing patsy who can be easily manipulated and ridiculed.

This, of course, came at the price of complete sexual disempowerment and repression for women. very true. for instance my mother was working full time all time, even when she was study or pregnant by me...and she earned much more then some man did, because she had high job position, which my father did not like at all....my father was simply billy-goat, who envy to his wife that she has high education and good job, and he was not able to gradute from uni, on the contrary of her. there many man like this in post SU-countries.

А с этого места поподробнее. Поскольку вот ответ Бобби
yah, that's not in ebook form.
Поэтому у меня такое чувство, что я чего-то не понимаю. :girl_to_take_umbrag

These are two different books. The one I wanted in the ebook form (and which Bobby said was not available in this format yet) is the first Bobby's book - Goodbye American Woman.

And the one Sarah downloaded and has on her PC now is the book mentioned in the first post of the thread - Jack City.

пысы усе начинаю читать не только последний пост темы, но и пару предыдущих, а то чото у меня с последними сообщениями не получается определяться с сутию обсуждаемого обьекта.

lol, yah I read that last year. The two guys that left a review loved it but she was brutal. I think she thought it was an autobiography of sort. It is pure fluff, nothing else.

Я не сужу о книгах с чужих слов, предпочитаю иметь мое суждение и мнение. Но я подумала, может леди имеет к тебе что-то личное http://www.gogabber.com/images/smilies/girls/girl_blum.gif

Подумай об электронном формате книги, потому что транспортировка из Канады в россию бумажной книги будет намного дороже ее стоимости.

;)it seems you can make an oder only if you live in USA, at least it ask for US address.

[saprosky]

Both books are available outside US. Just select an european amazon shop.

In Europe the new book costs 0.89€ but you need Amazon Kindle to read it.

You do not need a Kindle for the new book, you need a Kindle app, which can be downloaded for free for ipads, google, windows desktop and any laptop. thanks

Yep, you are right. The Kindle app is available for Russia and other countries unlike the Kindle reader that is only available in Europe.

So what are you waiting for ???? :Laie_60B:

[Koshka]

the Kindle reader that is only available in Europe.



ну оооооо - очень спорное утверждение .
хотя именно я не пользуюсь Kindle reader .

Бобби, ты помнишь, что потребитель, он же читатель всегда прав?

Both FirstAngel and I have repeatedly said that as soon as the book is available in fb2 we would order it.

Ты готов взять на себя доставку книги в Россию? :girl_to_take_umbrag

[Gabber]

ok, it's been almost two weeks and so far so good. I'm not setting any records but sales for an unknown author are decent. Low, but steady every day.

Here is what I have learned very quickly. Writing the fooking book is easier than marketing the fooking book. I'm not joking when I say that marketing is an eight hour a day job and I haven't even scratched the surface!!!

Every corner I turn there is some yahoo trying to sell me a get rich marketing scam that is "guaranteed" to skyrocket sales but it's nonsense. I know it's nonsense because I was lucky enough to meet a group over the 'Net who are all fairly successful and they are helping me step by step. Meeting them was pure chance so I'm counting my blessings.

For now, I have started writing articles for blogs and will soon be sharing articles with other writers that I am meeting every day. Again, just scratching the surface. I have met writers who have tweeted my book to their audience and blog members and this has been helpful with sales too. Let me tell you guys, any person who thinks they can write a book and then sit back and watch the sales come in is totally delusional.

So this is where I need your help. I have a website at http://jackcitybook.com. (thanks Fernando!) On this website is a Blog where I have written four articles that are easy to read and just me writing for the sake of writing. PLEASE leave a comment after each article but do not mention my name. This will greatly help the cause and is a step to better Google rankings. I have to write a minimum of 25 more articles because in May I begin what is called a Virtual Blog Tour and this is with some very heavy hitters, so the more activity I have on the blog, the more interactive I am...the better results. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I would be if you helped me out with this. Guys, you may not know or believe this but I am borderline introvert/extrovert so asking you this is not easy for me. Any suggestions for future Blog articles will be appreciated too. THANKS!!!

Alternatively there is a separate blogsite at http://jackcitybook.blogspot.com/
