Bestseller.md promises fast delivery of the book all over Moldova, and even abroad to other countries. And I promise captivating mysterious adventures on a remote island among the beauty of the nature.

Deep Into Another World

Posted on 01/06/2015 by Shurik the Creator under Books

Dear Amazing People,

As the Orthodox world is preparing to celebrate Christmas according to the old Julian calendar today, I have decided to release a previously unpublished short novel that is related to this celebration.

It is entitled “Deep Into Another World” and tells you about my journey to a Moldovan village of Cunicea in summer 2013. Cunicea has quite interesting archaeological and religious heritage, and that was the main reason of travelling there. However, the purpose of this short novel is not only to show you the historical discoveries of the village, but also to direct your attention to the beauty of the nature in the rural environment. Therefore “Deep Into Another World” is full of colourful descriptions of local fauna and funny situations experienced by my colleagues and myself in Cunicea.

So, if you want to spend this Christmas Day learning something new about the Orthodox religion and rural fauna, as well as laughing at some funny but real situations, then the short novel “Deep Into Another World” is exactly what you need. You can order it at the Bookstore of this website or at Lulu.com in paperback and e-book versions (the novel is available only in Russian for now).

Merry Christmas to all celebrating it today!

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander

Dear Amazing People,

The novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” continues to share its incredible adventures and insights about the interrelations between Human and Nature with people worldwide. Now the community of its readers is comprised of more than 40 amazing people from 10 different countries. And all these people have very good feedback on the novel that I share in the Testimonials section of this website and the Facebook page of the novel one by one.

In order to change that, I have created the preview version of the book with the first five chapters for you to get a feeling of its plot. You can access this version through the homepage of the novel website or directly here.

“The Monster” Comes to Germany and Denmark

Posted on 09/06/2014 by Shurik the Creator under Updates

Dear Amazing People,

Slowly but steadily my novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” becomes available to everyone everywhere. If you check its page on the global platform for readers and book recommendations Goodreads, you will see a long list of on-line bookstores, where my book can be found. The e-book version of the novel has even reached iTunes! So, now you can read it on your Mac or iOS device.

The books “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” are also travelling around in the real world. During the last weeks I have received updates that they arrived to Germany and Denmark, where awesome and excited readers had been waiting for them. And now these people fully enjoy the action-packed adventures of Jessie and Jack on a remote island and together with them try to solve the mystery of the local dinosaur-like creature named Blade of Darkness. After the readers finish reading the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness”, I will ask them to provide their opinion and feedback on the book, which I will then post on this website.

Until then you are encouraged to contact me for receiving several pages of the book in Russian or English for a preview. And then you can get your own copy of the novel in this or any other on-line bookstore here throughout the Web. I will be very happy if my novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” reaches your place as well!

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander

“The Monster” in the World of Books

Posted on 08/06/2014 by Shurik the Creator under Updates

Dear Amazing People,

If you have been following updates on this website, you already know that my novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” is now all over Amazon: you can find it on the international website, its British version, the German one and so on. But besides Amazon, the book became also available on many other book selling platforms: Barnes&Noble, Foyles, SAXO, HotBookSale and many other. And now I have also listed the Russian version of the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” on Lulu.

Lulu is an interesting initiative. It represents a self-publishing platform for authors to easily publish their books and bring them to the global market. The platform works based on the “print-on-demand” principle, where a book is published only when a reader orders it at www.lulu.com. This is quite a nice way to use natural resources for book-printing efficiently.

So, I have put up the paperback and e-book versions of “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” on Lulu, where you can now preview and purchase them. I have also decided to share my previous book, “The Thoughts: the World of My Heart and Soul. The Favorites”, on this platform as well. It is also available there in paperback and e-book formats. And overall you can find all my books available at Lulu on my author’s page there.

However, I do not just sell my books. They are also accessible to read for free at certain places, such as public libraries. For instance, you can now find both the Russian version of the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” and the book “The Thoughts: the World of My Heart and Soul. The Favorites” at the ARTICO street library in Chisinau, Moldova. So, you can go there and get the taste of my writing for free.

All in all, my novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” slowly but steadily enters the global world of books. Soon it is going to be available for reading on many more book selling and sharing platforms all over the globe. And I am sure that one day I will reach your hands and mind.

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander

Enjoy The World of My Heart and Soul!
