August 2010 New Orleans, LA – Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, a self-published gem that has largely flew under the radar, might not stay that way for long. When first released in 2008 it landed a finalist position in The Best Book Awards. Since then it has racked up numerous five star reviews, with one radio show host calling author DCS, “the next JK Rowling.”

The first novel in what DCS says will be a six part series, Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening is a complex thrill ride, hailed by critics as, “The Godfather meets Stargate.” It is a page turner, and a novel that crosses into multiple genres masterfully,  As an added perk, fans of the book also have the option of interacting with characters from the Synarchy universe through a text-based roleplay game called Synarchy 2012.

Popular book reviewer, A Journey of Books, has said of author DCS, “There’s just something about the way that DCS writes that allows the eyes to flow over the page, lifting the story into the air. The descriptions and especially display of emotions were so vivid that one could really see the story.”

Now, Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, stands poised on the brink of even greater success by being named a finalist in The Great American Author competition, hosted by the popular author community Offthebookshelf.com. The prize is the kind of exposure few authors ever see; their book featured in a television commercial.

“I’m so excited about the possibilities,” says author DCS. “My goal with Synarchy wasn’t just to entertain but to spread a message. Synarchy is a great blend of fact and fiction.”

For any author, let alone a self-published one, it’s difficult to carve the way through the thousands of titles that are published every month. DCS is counting on fans to take the time to vote, and then spread the word.

To view details on the contest, visit Offthebookshelf.com. It’s free to register and to vote. Voting closes September 1^st. As an added incentive, DCS is offering PDF copies of her second novel, Synarchy Book 2: The Ascension to anyone who votes for Book One. Visit her website for more details. Book 2: The Ascension has recently received a four star review and been called, “a truly fascinating, captivating novel.”

A brief update for everyone.  If you’re currently trying to snag a copy of Synarchy you’ll see on Amazon’s page that it’s not available. No worries, I’m updating the back cover copy with a few fabulous reviews we’ve gotten. I anticipate this will only take about 7 – 10 days or so, so if you’re itching to get your hands on Synarchy Book 1, just be patient.

I have also lowered the list price. You will now be able to purchase a copy of Synarchy for only $9.99. How’s about that?

Lastly, if you’re an eBook kind of techno-savvy person you’ll be pleased to note that Synarchy will be available on Amazon’s Kindle as soon as they’re done approving file format and things like that. I anticipate that will only take a day or two, and again I’ll update everyone once it goes live.

When’s Book 2 coming out? Soon! By the spring you’ll have your rightfully greedy hands on it. My editor has told me, “Book 1 smacked up you upside the back of the head. Book 2, punches you in the gut.” I think that’s fitting and I’m so proud of it you just have no idea. I’m hella excited to get out to you all, but gotta follow procedures. You’ll love the finished product, trust me.

That’s all for now, I’ll be touching base soon. Don’t forget to check me out Saturday night on Paranormal 101 for our round table discussion!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Highly acclaimed author of Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, DCS hosts her own show, In The Mind of DCS Saturdays nights on Blog Talk Radio’s Paranormal 101

February 2010 – BlogTalkRadio is the largest and fastest growing social radio network on the internet, and it just got a new host.  Author of Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, a novel fans have coined, “the Godfather meets Stargate”, DCS is hosting her own shown every Saturday night at 9pm CST.

Paranormal 101, created by musician and paranormal researcher Steve Orion was already a popular hit on the BTR network. After doing an interview with Steve, the two developed a quick friendship, and Steve began persuading DCS to host her own show.

“When he first asked me I was hesitant. I tend to have trouble coming up with topic matter for my blog, but only because I like to talk about things that I can relate too.  I want my readers to feel a connection, not just skim over a list of information,” commented DCS.  “But eventually I saw the opportunity, not only to promote my novel but to reach a wider audience of people. Steve has been a great mentor too, and is really hands on with the show which is extremely helpful.”

“I want to make our show one of the most popular on BTR,” Steve said.  And they may well be on their way to doing just that.  DCS debut show, Mysticism and Science featured seventy-eight live callers and has received 155 downloads, an impressive start.

In the Mind of DCS will cover a range of topics spanning from the metaphysical, to UFOlogy, ancient civilizations and their esoteric knowledge, government conspiracy Theories and more.

“Consistency and great topic matter will be the key,” says DCS. “Steve and I are pretty much on the same wave length in what we want to accomplish with the show.  We want to be a light, we want to be a place where seekers on the path of spirituality, and awakening can get practical information to help them on their journey.”

Listeners are encouraged to participate in the discussion either by visiting the chat room during the show, or calling in live to talk to the hosts. To hear In the Mind of DCS visit http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theparanormal.  It will air every Saturday night at 9 PM Central Standard time.

DCS’s novel Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening is available on Amazon and at the author’s website. DCS is available for interview and can be reached using the information below.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Author of Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, DCS, will appear live on Blog Talk Radio Station, The Greatest Talk Show, produced by Big Bag Studios, Sunday, November 29^th at 8 PM MTN.

[November 2009, New Orleans] It’s been a busy month for sci-fi thriller author DCS, and her debut novel Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening.  Fans have called Synarchy, “The Godfather meets Stargate.” Host of Infinite Waters, Ralph Okrafo-Smart called DCS, “The next J.K.

“I’m excited,” said author DCS, “I wrote Synarchy to help get these topics out in front of people, to offer a new perspective, and make people question their reality. It’s not just all crazy conspiracy theories, there are some compelling arguments for some of these topics, and with the world sitting at a crossroads we can’t keep ignoring them.”

Those topics include the 2012 Phenomena, a subject that more often than not is associated with doomsday and Armageddon, as portrayed by popular films such as the newly released 2012. But author DCS has put an entirely different spin on 2012 and the world as we see it.  Book Publicity and Marketing Expert Don McCauley, in a previous press release has written that, Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, “combines 2012, conspiracy theory, the metaphysical, The Godfather and Stargate in a manner that may set a new standard for artists who hope to create entirely new genres.”

When I finally sit down to write these blog posts my head is usually a flurry of information I want to give to you. My email box is full of newsletters, blog links, all kinds of the “out there” stuff I like to talk about it and it’s difficult to discern what I should be rambling on about that will not only keep you a regular visitor of my blog but entice your senses to give my Book, Synarchy a try.

Today as I’m going to provide a few author/book news updates and then drop right into another blog post on Atheism. As far as book news goes, we’re still ticking along. It can be frustrating at times, clicking on that link that shows sales and watching the number not move. But, persistence, determination and my nonstop work and learning process of marketing will prevail. Eventually you will buy Synarchy, and I’m certain you’ll love it. As far as book promotion goes, we have two reviews that will be incoming soon, I anticipate within the next month. We will be a guest on The Authors Show, the interview has already been taped, now I’m just watching the website and waiting for a scheduling slot. I will be pitching to more radio shows over this week so I’ll keep you posted.

If you haven’t been following us on our podcasting station well you should! I’m reading book chapters, and mixing in a few episodes related to the roleplay game. You can find us at http://dcs.podOmatic.com with new episodes recorded every Tuesday.

I will be starting a video blog within the month. I’m toying around with the subject matter, but it will follow the same vein as the blog. I might delve more into government conspiracy theories and mix in the grander spiritual picture with that. I’ll keep you posted on that as well.

Synarchy Book 2: The Ascension has a tentative release date for December 21st, 2009. You can expect to see a thicker novel, and of course the expansion of the metaphysical, government conspiracy theories, and shift in consciousness information that you saw in the first book. And of course some really great drama, laughs, tears and a lot of excitement.

I’ll admit, writing it has been slow moving. I find it very difficult to force myself to write, though thanks to the roleplaying game Synarchy 2012, I’m writing everyday, just not always that thing that’s going to get me out of the stinking hotel business.

The final author update is a very exciting one, at least for me. I will be attending the University of Metaphysics, the University System of the International Metaphysic Ministry and obtaining a doctoral degree in Metaphysical Science. In order to legally practice this, my doctoral degree is classified as a doctoral in a specialized area of religion so, upon successful course completion I will also be an ordained minister.. Minster, Doctor Storm if you please . I’m insanely excited about this and can’t wait to get my hands on the course material especially as I delve into writing Book 2. It is very important to me that while weaving this highly entertaining fictious tale I also stick in there some truth, and things you can take with you long after the book is sitting on your book shelf collecting dust.

That’s enough with the not as interesting as a discussion on Atheism. Let’s move onto that.

Best Book Awards Finalist, Synarchy, Blends Conspiracy Theory, 2012, The Metaphysical, The Godfather And Stargate

Synarchy, the new novel by DCS, blends fact with fiction in a way that is both shocking and hopeful, while slowly unraveling the tightly laced reality we have created for ourselves. Synarchy is a 2008 Best Book Awards finalist.

[DATE, CITY] Author DCS has recently released Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, a cutting edge novel that combines 2012, conspiracy theory, the metaphysical, The Godfather and Stargate in a manner that may set a new standard for artists who hope to create entirely new genres. Synarchy addresses the question so many are asking as to whether the world will end just three years from now, while also tackling the more important question – “Do we really want to know?”

“With all the controversy and misinformation surrounding 2012, I believe that it’s time a novel came out that puts a different spin on things,” said author DCS. “Synarchy leaves us looking at the world and its upcoming future with a different set of eyes. It is the only book that weaves together conspiracy theories, the metaphysical and the 2012 phenomena into a thrill ride of a story.”

Synarchy Book 1 exposes a plan centuries in the making and so sinister nobody could have predicted the depth of its impact on the world. In his lifetime Stefano Terenzio had a merciless ambition for absolute power. Two generations later the shock wave he ignited was still being felt. Now, as the world inches closer to 2012 sides are chosen, families divide and an epic battle begins that will determine whether mankind continues existing in a world of lies or shatters the chains that have held us prisoner since his-story was written. Shocking yet hopeful, Synarchy slowly unravels the tightly laced reality we have created for ourselves. Blending the metaphysical with conspiracy, fact with fiction, author DCS has opened up a world that will force us to rethink everything we believe we now know about 2012.

“It’s a lot of fun sprinkling the truth into the pages of fiction,” DCS continued. “With 2012 fast approaching, it seems like everyone has an opinion on the possibilities. Synarchy is the culmination of my own in-depth research and gives the reader the full story while putting a different spin on what may happen on the planet just three short years from now.”

DCS has appeared on Freedom Fighter Radio and will appear soon on The Authors Show, radio version. Synarchy is available at Amazon.com and at the author’s website. DCS is available for interview and can be reached using the information below.
