Overview and Quick Tidbits

Hypnos
by Alexis Lewis

Hypnos is an e-book I recently published for Amazon/Kindle....this is a self-indulgent tracker blog that will give me the freedom to give everyone up-to-date info on my novel and gripe freely about the trails and trevails of learning to become an Indie-Author.



First, about my book-a quick synopsis: (the summary given by Amazon)
Yes, I used a pen name.  Marie A. Louise, I was feeling french-my name is Alexis Lewis as seen in the blogs profile and my book can be searched using that Author information as well.

"Hypnos is the story of a girl who loses the normalcy of life at the expense of an unwanted gift...the ability to affect the minds of those who dream. As she struggles to understand her talents she meets a pair of brothers who might influence her fate.One twin must decide whether or not to help her despite a personal history that demands avoidance. The other is fighting to save them all from self destruction.

Hypnos is the tale of three people vying to find answers to the oldest of questions...What is the definition of good and evil, and how do we act upon our understanding in a world clouded by human relationships, emotion, and the necessity of self preservation? How often do our conscious endeavors reflect our unconscious will?"

You can buy my book for $2.99 here:

and you can also check out the Authors note and first two chapters for free I believe.
If you want a more encompassing synopsis of how my book is written and the ride it's meant to take a reader on-check out the Authors Note for sure-I spent alot of time on it.

Brass Tacks and Whatsit info:
Hypnos is Science Fiction Fantasy Fiction (in the same way that Meyers would be considered sci-fi)  No there aren't any aliens or supernatural monsters but it's still sci-fi all the same.
The novel runs around 400 pgs-not bad for $3 right?
The writing style is taken from all three of the main characters points of view, with each of them getting chapters by turn for the reader to dive into.  So, not a girl? Great there's two boys talking. Not a boy? Great, there's a female lead. 
Also fun about this novel: a little bit of something for everyone-but keep an open-mind.
Again I would refer you to checking out the Authors Note but in-a-nutshell,
Hypnos is straightforward and honest, yet it's sci-fi.  It has a romantic angle but is rather dominated by philosphical inquiries.  It's fun character fiction, and dark thriller fiction.

To date: lets see its 11/02/12 Hypnos has sold over 200 digital copies via Amazon Kindle, and is ranked somewhere in the mid-800's for titles in its genre.
Go buy a copy since its good and maybe my next post for the blog on 'indie-publishing' will mention it as in the 700's thanks to you!
