Hi all!
A Writer’s Path now offers author-related services. As an author, I know how it can be a pain to sort through dozens of service providers just to have your book ready for publication.
Although these services have to do with both indie and traditionally published authors, indie authors have much more to do on their own and rely on service providers heavily.
In an effort to branch out and make AWP a “one-stop-shop,” I’ve gathered together a group of highly skilled service providers from a range of services, all ready to serve this readership.
Hi all!
We’re less than one month away from the end of the writing contest and the announcement of the winners.

Title: The Sons of Hernán García
Author: Charles Ameringer
Genre: Action/Adventure
The Sons of Hernán García, by Charles Ameringer, isclassified as an Action/Adventure. However, it also reads as historical fiction. More specifically, it is a revenge-tale set in early 20th century Venezuela. The history aspect reads well, probably because Ameringer is an actual professor of Latin History, so he knows the facts of that time and place, and is able to translate it well through this story.

Not a cozy read, it deals with controversial topics like alcoholism, domestic violence and decisions that can turn the fate of a whole family. Strung out over several generations of women who pass their healer’s knowledge on from mother to daughter, the tale draws the reader into their troubles and heartaches.
