CATHARSIS
Legend of the Lemurians - Earth Keepers Chronicle 1
Karma can be a beautiful maiden or a bitch… Lemurians…Atlanteans…Hidden origins of humanity…
Before recorded history, before Humanity, since times immemorial, the Earth Keepers have been watching over our planet. Marked at birth and endowed with supreme powers, the nine chosen ones are the Earth’s record keepers and moderators, and when the time comes, ultimate decision makers. This is the first of their chronicles.
Legend of the Lemurians
The population of the red planet Catharsis, on the outskirts of the Andromeda Galaxy, is exceedingly beautiful. But Catharsians harbor a terrible secret: they have to share the planet with another race, which they call the Uglies, although the Uglies themselves prefer to be called Lemurians. Alas, no one on Catharsis cares what the Uglies prefer. Being ugly is considered a contagious disease, and the Uglies are herded into a reservation called Camp Ugly, where they live out their drudgery behind an electric fence. But the Uglies don’t seem to fret as they raise their young, guard the planet’s Crystalline Engine, and sing their heart-stopping songs to the Goddess of All, Mother Mu. And so, both races co-exist without much interaction, until the ultimate disaster strikes.
Morf is a seventeen-year-old Ugly who finds himself in the middle of it all. He is thrust fatefully into the leadership position when no one else can fill its shoes. Will the catastrophe bring to light everyone’s true beauty and true ugliness? Will planet Catharsis survive? What destiny lies in store for the Uglies? We are about to find out…

The Earth Shifter blurb got me hook, line and sinker! YA or not, it sounds fabu. (and by that I mean I am um…less than YA…and more MA…which almost makes me a Mayan, but not quite.
Thank you so much, Charron! This is such a wonderful testimonial!
LOL – almost Mayan, how cute!
There are young protagonists in the book, but it really is appropriate for any age. I think most readers will be adults, although I wouldn’t say no to teen readers either.

Hi Lada~ Just thought I’d let you know that I bought and downloaded it in my barnes and Noble account but it took a while to show up on my Nook and when it did, all I have is the cover. All pages are blank. I’ll continue to try to see if it’s all there in my account, but if not, you might want to check with Barnes and Noble. I did buy it the first day so it’s probably just a technology glitch.
Hi Keli. Thank you for letting me know! I’ll get on it as soon as I can. I am terribly sorry about this and I’ll let you know what I find out. If there is still a problem, I’ll send you a free coupon.
Cheers,
Lada
Hi Keli, me again. I started investigating this issue. It appears there is some kind of glitch on B&N Nook’s end, which they are slow to resolve. This is a link to their B&N community with lots of complaints about this. http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/PubIt-Help-Board/PubIt-System-Announcement-Technical-Difficulties-Resolved/m-p/1384258#U1384258
I am contacting B&N to try and resolve this asap. I will also re-upload the book tonight and I’ll let you know when the new version is up.
Thank you for your patience!
Could you email me at Lada at LadaRay dotcom and will also send you a free coupon for a Smashwords download so you could start reading right away. Smash allows downloads in any format, including epub/Nook. It may work better for you. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi Keli, the newest update: I made multiple attempts to re-upload The Earth Shifter into Nook servers today. However, Nook seems to be experiencing a problem. This is the message I keep getting: “We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience.” I’ll keep trying and I will also try to get in touch with them by email. So far, unfortunately, they are not being very responsive. I am a bit frustrated. However, I am sure it will be resolved soon!
Meanwhile, I will be happy to email you a free coupon. Just email me per my prior response.
Thank you and have a nice weekend!
Lada
Hi Keli,
Just wanted to let you know that The Earth Shifter is now back up on B&N Nook.
The link: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-earth-shifter-lada-ray/1114066685?ean=2940016084800
It shows perfectly in my sample and I hope there will be no problem with your download going forward. If there is still any sort of problem, please let me know and I will take it up with B&N. But let’s hope the issue has been resolved.
Cheers and best,
Lada
