An enchanting story about the curious paths we follow

COVID-19 Book Download Promotion

By

It’s been great that so many around the world have made use of the offer to download Kineosho Learns to Walk over the COVID-19 lock-down period. The positive feedback has been most encouraging, and certainly served as a catalyst for me to continue working on a more refined draft of the animated movie script.

The pay it forward model to obtain the book seems, surprisingly, to have triggered a big increase in downloads. I sincerely hope that Kineosho has inspired some great random acts of kindness. In retrospect, it might have been great to have created a feedback page for these acts alone. If you have done something interesting in return for the book that you would like to share with me, please do feel free to drop me a line through the contact page – it would be great to hear from you!

The current book download promotion will run until the bulk of the international lock-downs have subsided. If you did enjoy the book, please consider purchasing a copy from your favorite online book retailer to support the author!

Spreading the word about Kineosho is proving to be as much of an adventure as writing the novel. I’m sincerely grateful that I’m in a position to give the book away for free  – it’s given me some flexibility in being able to increase the readership through online promotion, Facebook, and distribution of the e-books in local schools etc. Still, it feels like a substantial achievement having reached a whopping 25,000 downloads to date!

Thanks to the many readers who have submitted their thoughts, and feedback through the website so far. Thanks also to the thousands of you who enjoyed the book, and took the time to “like” Kineosho’s Facebook page – I really do appreciate it.

This latest promotional effort, and the feedback it generated helped much in driving my current project forward – Kineosho, The Movie. As many of you have indicated, Kineosho Learns to Walk would make an awesome movie, and I’m currently in Mauritius writing the first draft of the animated movie script… stay tuned for more!

UPDATE: Please note that the final cover has been selected – thanks to all those that participated!

Below are some mock-ups of cover designs – I would be most grateful if you would please provide some feedback, either using the form or the comments section (preferably both!). The book is a novel targeted at the general adult fiction market. It would be good if the cover design holds appeal for the young adult market too.

Please note that the back blurb text, when provided, is part of the mock-up (so no need to fix the grammar etc) – I’m more interested in the look and feel of it at the moment.

Thank you!

About Kineosho

By

Kineosho, pronounced (Kin-ee-oh-show), is a lion who is born and raised under some rather extraordinary circumstances. His story takes place in a fantasy jungle and is one that most of us will be able to relate to as we question the meaning of life, the universe, and the role of cabbage after significant genetic modification.

A few sneak preview chapters have been made available already – please feel free to leave your feedback using the form below, or by leaving a message in the contact section.

Some short stories including the book characters, and character profiles will be posted here soon. In the meantime, you may want to check out the author’s other work on Pratish Mistry’s website.
