SYROIA - A Supernatural Thriller No Reader Will Be Able To Put Down

Press Release- SYROIA My supernatural thriller SYROIA is getting off to a great start.  Every single person who has read it said that they could not put the book down until the story's ending.  That's what a novel should do no matter what genre it is.  There is nothing worse than picking up a novel, especially a supernatural thriller, and the reader is bored by the third or even the fourth page.  I write the kind of stuff that I myself like to read.  Furthermore, I can draw on my own experiences with the forces of the supernatural.

NEW NOVEL EXPLORES FAMILY'S DARKEST SECRETS- SUPERNATURAL THRILLER TAKES READERS ON A HAUNTING ADVENTURE TO UNCOVER A SHOCKING PAST

**FOR  IMMEDIATE  RELEASE**          POSTED  BY  AuthorHouse - September, 2011
 
PHILADELPHIA -  Miss Cheyenne Mitchell's  new novel,  "THE  COVERING" (published by AuthorHouse) tells the story of Celia and Drew, two teenage sisters who are beloved by a devoted, wonderful and caring family.  However, the happy face of this family may merely be a facade covering deep, dark secrets.

As Celia and Drew grow older, in spite of the deep love that covers them both, their loved ones become an enigma to them, because they do not appear to be as normal as they believe them to be.   The two young sisters eventually discover a dark, nefarious, and horrifying secret about their family members that inevitably changes their lives forever.

        She put her face in her hands and started sobbing softly.
        Her husband my uncle, Marcus, tried to comfort her.   "Who  would
       kill  Grandfather, Mama?"   I asked my mother and I saw the
       tears in her eyes.  She hugged me closely but she never did
       answer my question.  It seemed like she couldn't talk about 
       it right then for some reason.

      As best as my sister and I could figure out, by listening to 
     Aunt Jada rant and rave, the people in Wesbury had cornered
     our grandfather.  It happened somewhere between our house
     and the outskirts of the town then they killed him.  There was
     nothing that the Sheriff, or his Deputies could do to stop them
     either.  I guess there is nothing that you can do with an angry
     mob.

In "THE  COVERING"  readers will uncover - along with Celia and Drew - incredible, and unimaginable secrets.  This is a thrilling and shocking adventure sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

THIS  PRESS  RELEASE  POSTED  BY  AUTHOR HOUSE - September, 2011  
FOR  IMMEDIATE  RELEASE:
A  Supernatural  Thriller  Unlike  Any  Other:       Posted by BookReviewerList.com-Sept.12 2011

"THE  COVERING"  is a supernatural thriller by  Miss Cheyenne Mitchell, the Author of  "SYROIA"  and  "In  The  Light  Of  Darkness", is the story of Celia and Drew, two teenage sisters who are part of a loving family that is hiding something evil.  Mitchell's story is absolutely spellbinding, captivating readers with its' exciting plot, compelling characters, and unexpected secrets.

Their family has moved from place to place, driven out by people and children who think that the girls and their family are strange, taunting them and throwing stones at them, the same children who were once their friends;  "...eventually everything would change, and always because of our grandfather and the rest of our family members,"  calling their grandfather a murderer and the rest of their family dangerous.  In each town in which they live, there is always a series of mysterious disappearances that are traced back to their family members by the circumstantial evidence that each time someone disappears, they were last seen with a member of their family before being found  "torn  apart as  if  by  a wild  animal".    

   As they grow older, the sisters realize that their family is not as normal as they believed that they were and their family's reticence to talk about certain things starts to make sense to them.  The girls are plagued by questions that they struggle to answer, asking themselves questions that include why their grandfather's body was never found and if he is really dead.  Celia and Drew discover a dark secret that the family has been hiding for years, changing their lives forever;  "They harbored  a dark and  morally  revolting  secret.  But  it was  nothing  compared  to  the  other  diabolical  secret that all  of  them  guarded."

  As the plot unfolds and secrets are revealed, readers will not be able to put the book down, kept on the edges of their seats by the nail-biting tension.  Mitchell's story is  UNLIKE any other supernatural thriller that you have ever read, entertaining with suspense, mystery, and excitement.  Indeed, A PAGE-TURNING  MUST-READ!!!!

SYROIA IS A SUPERNATURAL THRILLER BY MISS CHEYENNE MITCHELL.....NOT A CRIME/DETECTIVE NOVEL

 I would like to thank all of my fans that read and love my novel SYROIA.   Believe me, you will absolutely love THE COVERING, which is the story of two, teenage sisters, Celia and Drew Bellis, who through a lot of anguish, discover a dark, and terrifying secret that their family members have been harboring.  However, I would like to talk about SYROIA for a moment please.  I have seen some of the reviews on SYROIA, and I am pleased with them. However, the last thing I want is for my novel, which is a SUPERNATURAL THRILLER, to be confused with a CRIME/DETECTIVE novel, which I believe is what is happening among some readers of SYROIA.   There will be no dna testing, or extensive police investigation wherever a demonic force is involved. The person that this story is about, Arquito Desmunde, is a VICTIM himself.  The novel is solely about him, and what happened to him because of a monstrous force hidden in his family's past.  This young man is not a killer, but was forced to commit terrible things.  How do you get DNA from a demon?  What are police going to investigate?   How do you investigate a demonic force?  And, if so what are you going to do about it?  I ask that SYROIA please be approached for the genre that it is.  A SUPERNATURAL THRILLER.  It deals with the SUPERNATURAL!!  It is NOT a CRIME/DETECTIVE novel.  One reviewer of SYROIA understood the novel a little bit, but not very much.  However, if you approach it from the SUPERNATURAL view point it would all be very clear to you what the story is actually about.  You must look at the protagonist as a VICTIM not a KILLER as he is NOT doing these things of himself.  He is being CONTROLLED by something beyond his control.  I just wanted my readers of SYROIA to remember that when they read the story, because if they do you will understand it as well as enjoy it even more.   Thank you, and lots of love!  NOTE:  If you are a lover of romance novels you should not be reviewing Supernatural Thrillers!  Stick with the genre that you love, because your review will do it justice and be fair.  I have one review that I liked but I don't think was fair because the reviewer didn't read supernatural thrillers.  However, they decided to review SYROIA. I wish now that they hadn't because it brought SYROIA'S review rating down a notch.  Please!  If you are a book reviewer stick with the genre that you usually deal with, and don't go out of that circle.  It won't be fair to the Novelist's work that you are trying to review.

MISS CHEYENNE MITCHELL HAS MORE ADVICE FOR NEW AUTHORS

Well, we all know as new Authors how hard it is to get your novel out there into the market for millions to see. I am not a new Author, but this aint my first rodeo either.  I cannot tell you how important editing is for your novel. It can make or break a novel.  I believe the worst novel that I've ever read was "DANCES WITH WOLVES" and look how that turned out.  However, editing is extremely important, and it is hard for us as Authors to do it on our own.  Yet, if you have to pay someone else to do it, it is worth it.  I had to find that out the hard way with my first novel, IN THE LIGHT OF DARKNESS, which I plan to have re-published.  The use of Twitter can be very important to a new Author when you are trying to reach a lot of people as well.  We all know that there is a lot of junk on Twitter. And if you've ever been on there you know what I'm talking about.  But you can use Twitter for business.  Also, a lot of celebrities use Twitter. I have the good fortune to have a Justin Bieber fan following me, or who knows, it could be him, himself. I don't know yet.   The point is it's good for advertising, and that's what you want.  Book reviews are also extremely important to Authors as they are publicity.  When you are going after a book review (and try to get as many as you can), stay in your genre.  In other words, don't go to a Reviewer or Writer of Romance novels if you write in the Horror genre, or the Supernatural Thriller genre. If you do, the review will not be fair.  Stay in your genre when going after book reviewers.  Bookreviewlist.com is a very good place to start. The cost is $99.00 per novel, but they have a data base of over 3,000 book reviewers.  Also, they cover your novel is newspapers, magazines, etc. which is where you as an Author want your book to be reviewed.  Remember, nothing happens overnight. It takes time and work to get out there.  Trust in your work as well as in yourself.  If you know you're good others will know it, too, once they see your work. Try to get into places like www.goodreads.com where there are many many great Novelists and Authors as well as Reviewers.   If you don't have a blog go on google and get one.  Make your blog informative and helpful or useful to people who are going to see it. As I learn more I will gladly share more.  I hope this helps you in some small way on becoming the millionaire you strive to be, as I strive to be one myself. Oops!  A billionaire!!!

MISS CHEYENNE MITCHELL - AUTHOR OF SUPERNATURAL THRILLERS "SYROIA" AND "THE COVERING" HAS GREAT ADVICE FOR WOULD-BE AUTHORS

As an Author/Novelist I have learned quite a few things along the way in this business.  This is not my "first rodeo" as Dr. Phil likes to point out on his wonderful, and informative television show.  It takes years sometimes to sit down, and pen a novel as some of you well know.  Then there is the editing, and more editing, trying to get reviews (which are extremely important) of our novels. In other words getting them out there in the world for people to read, and enjoy.  Once your novel is published, depending on the Publisher, make sure it is seen (with the cover image) at online retailers. Another tip is to take copies of your novel to book stores around town. Make an appointment first with the Managers of those stores once you get their names, and ask them to carry at least four or five copies of your novel, of course you will give them something fair on each sale. When you do take a "sell sheet" which depicts your profile, a synopsis of the novel, and the cover picture of the book. Don't forget to connect with other Authors in your genre. Many of them can be found on Twitter's Listorious List. www.listorious.com  Go into the "SEARCH" engine and type in the Authors that write what you write, ex: Authors of romance novels. An entire listing will come up for you. Connect with those Authors on Twitter.  Email would be better, but that can come later on.  Use the Timeline on Twitter to subscribe to some of these Authors.  Usually, this is a very good way to get yourself connected to them and them to you. Don't forget to advertise your work as much as you can in the small space that you have to write in on Twitter, usually 140 characters, which is not a lot.  Remember, there is a lot of junk on Twitter, but celebrities use it, too.   Reach out to people on LinkedIn, and Facebook. If you don't have these accounts open one for yourself.  There are many ways to get your book out there.  Most book signings help, but unless you are already famous in the market don't expect hundreds of people to show up for your book signing.  Don't be afraid to ask someone who loves your genre to review your book and post their reviews where they will definitely be seen by a lot of people.  Reviews are extremely important for us as Authors.  A good place for reviews is Bookreviewerlist.com  It costs but they have a data base of around 3,000 reviewers that deal with book stores, newspapers, magazines and a lot more.    Your book review will be seen, and fair.

  As an Author/Novelist of Supernatural Thrillers I am trying to build my fan base with readers who love that genre.  A lover of these kinds of novels will be a great book reviewer.  A lover of romance novels or adventure novels will not do you justice.   Please see the excerpts from my new Supernatural Thrillers out now entitled "SYROIA" and "THE COVERING" on my blog.  www.goodreads.com has many book reviewers, and my first review of "SYROIA" is there. Also, if you are on LinkedIn you can ask for "recommendations" from those you are linked in with. "Recommendations" are only asking someone to say a few words about your novel. If they are not familiar with you there is always  pdf. format of your novel that you can send to them free of charge IF THEY ARE INTERESTED.    I hope this information is helpful for you, and I truly hope you will become a fan of mine as "SYROIA" ( as I heard from one Reviewer of it) will give you chills!!!  And, The Covering, is just filled with great suspense, and mystery that you won't forget.  Lots of love to my would-be fans, and I hope my information helps you as it has helped me.  As an Author/Novelist I know how hard it can be to get out there, but with the social media available to all of us these days it's a lot easier than it used to be. And, don't forget seminars or webinars as they are very informative as well as important.  Lots of luck!   Please see my website - http://misscheyennemitchell.webs.com
