I had so much fun with this last year (and grew my TBR–plus a few others’), that I’m bringing it back. In the spirit of “a rising tide lifts all boats,” for Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week I wanted to give some Self-Published authors a chance to spread some love.
(They also get to do a bit of self-promotion, I mean, c’mon, it’s hard out here…)
An Elevator Pitch for Something You Love
The Faerie Knight by David Niemitz
Trist, a young knight in the French inspired kingdom of Narvonne, becomes more than a mere mortal when his fate is forever linked with the power and machinations of the fae. A classic epic fantasy with progression elements.
My Elevator Pitch by Ben Schenkman
The first book of my series, The Devil You Know, is My Boss is the Devil.
Nick’s mundane life as a barista is upended by a job offer from the Devil himself. He trades his apron for a suit, but deciding if the ends justify the means isn’t going to be easy. Balancing good and evil, he’ll need more than coffee to decide his fate.
The rest of the series continues with his escapades, along with his friends, allies, and enemies.
About this Author
Ben Schenkman likes many things in life: his 20-pound Maine coon cat, his family, his coffee, and his eclectic hobbies—not necessarily in that order.
Ben also likes to play devil’s advocate in his urban fantasy books by exploring the gray areas of good and evil with questions like, “Does the end really justify the means? Or is it all simply black and white?” Ben leaves these questions lingering in the ether to challenge readers’ conventional thinking and delve into the complexities of moral dilemmas.
As a native of Connecticut, Ben draws inspiration from his upbringing and college years in New Haven, where his novels take place. When he wants to escape being a writer, he’s a massive foodie who goes on gastronomic adventures, an overachiever who collects degrees in Theater, Nuclear Engineering, and an MBA, or the manager/performer of the fire dance troupe, HVBRIS—you know, the basics. No big deal.
Want to know more about his work, or talk about coffee and cats? He loves hearing from readers!
Be sure to check out The Faerie Knight and My Boss is the Devil, let’s show them both some love!
