Hello, friends!

In the past several days I have received multiple questions asking where one can find my books.

‘Hello, 
I am having issues checking out your site. I cannot find any information pertaining to your book. I hope you can offer me some help. Sorry to bother you.’

Actually, my books are rather easy to find by going to Amazon and other online retailers. And information/links are readily available on my blog and sites. Below, I’ll give you a roadmap to make your search even easier! And many thanks for your interest!

WHERE TO FIND BOOKS BY LADA RAY

Take your pick or explore all!

AUTHOR SITE

The simplest is to go to my AUTHOR SITE and explore the HOME page, which contains relevant links.

Visit Amazon’s Lada Ray Page – my books are all listed there, except the latest (it’ll be added later)!

BY COUNTRY

I recently received this comment on FT:

AHhhh  !!! Lady Lada, Why your Books are not available in Amazon India!?

ANSWER:

Dear friend,

My books are sold worldwide. Many links to specific countries are listed on BOOKSTORE page. But not all.

If you want to find my book in your country, go to Amazon OF YOUR COUNTRY (!) and type in the title of book and my name, Lada Ray. The book page will come up. If you type in just my name, ALL my books available in your country should come up.

Specifically in answer to the above question. My books ARE available on Amazon India (Amazon.in) in both ebook and paperback formats. Please type in my name and title and it all comes up.

Here’s the link to the Geopolitical Quantum Calibrations book sold in India:

https://www.amazon.in/Geopolitical-Geo-Economic-Quantum-Calibrations-Lada/dp/179795959X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lada+ray+geopolitical+quantum+calibrations&qid=1572024588&s=books&sr=1-1

I’m sure you can find all others the same way! Blessings and thanks for asking!

Lada

In your computer just type in Amazon and your country’s suffix — and your country’s Amazon store will come up. For example for US it’s .com, for UK .co.uk, for France .fr, etc. Then follow instructions above to find my books!

As an example, I’ve typed in Amazon.it for Italy and… presto!  —https://www.amazon.it/.

Amazon has online and brick-and-mortar presence in over 10 major countries worldwide, from where they ship to other regional countries. When in doubt, go a search for the nearest country from which Amazon ships to yours!

TIP: Also, Bookdepository.com will ship to many countries free, but the price will likely be higher.

There are other international retailers listed on my Book Author site!

If you prefer digital format or it’s too hard to ship a paperback to your country!

My Ebooks are available for a fraction of the cost through either Amazon.com or through other majors, such as Kobo and Apple, plus a number of others – see more below!

6

WHERE TO FIND MY EBOOKS

All my non-fiction and fiction, including novels and novelette shorts, are available worldwide as ebooks on Amazon!

In addition to Amazon, my latest book GEOPOLITICAL QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS

is also selling on various ebook platforms, such as Apple, Kobo and more.

I will soon be adding my novels and shorts to these platforms.

Find all ebook sources by clicking on these links: 

 

7

MY NOVELS VS. NOVELETTE SHORTS

My novels are substantial books of between 60,000 and over 100,000 words each.

Novelettes or shorts are much smaller, about 11,000 -12,000 words each. These are fictional stories that are prequels to the novels.

I have 1 series (Jade Snow – Accidental Spy Mysteries) and one novel with companion prequel (may become a series in the future).

Accidental Spy series consists of 

Prequel short: GREEN DESERT

Adventure 1: STEPFORD USA

Adventure 2: GOLD TRAIN

Stand alone prophetic novel 

THE EARTH SHIFTER

with companion/prequel short: CATHARSIS, LEGEND OF THE LEMURIANS

All my novels are sold as both paperbacks and ebooks.

Novelette shorts are currently sold as ebooks only, for a nominal amount of 99 cents US or equivalent in your currency. They can be purchased on Amazon.com (worldwide download).

8

LIBRARY DISTRIBUTION

If you are a librarian or want to buy my paperbacks or ebooks wholesale:

My books are selling through library and other international third party wholesale distribution platforms. You’ll need to contact them or have their online catalog to order my books!

Amazon provides the library purchase access to all my books. So do my other publishing partners. Some of the third party distributors are Baker & Tailor and Bibliotheca.

Tricks for the enjoyable ebook reading experience

As opposed to paperbacks, which we all love, ebooks may seem different and intimidating, unless you are tech savvy. But ebooks are really quite easy to read, if you know a few tricks! Ebooks can be read if you have a Kindle reader (for other retailers it’s Nook, IPad, Sony reader, etc.). Ebooks can also be read on any Android Tablet such as Archos. Archos allows for reading ebooks in any format – unlike some of the dedicated readers that restrict you to reading in a specific format, thus limiting you to a specific ebook retailer.

If you don’t have any of these, no problem!

KINDLE for PC can be downloaded FREE on Amazon when you purchase any ebook. You’ll see this option right on top of the book cover. It’s called KINDLE APP. Therefore, any ebook can be downloaded and read directly on your computer!

If you still prefer the feel of a print book in your hands, paperbacks of my books are available by clicking on the same links above!

You can find my books on Amazon in a number of ways:

1. Click on each title above, (or you can always click on any book cover on the right side bar of this blog), for Amazon.com link (both ebook and paperback).

2. Go to BOOKS for links to other international Amazon sites, as well as BN and other retailers. The BOOKS page also contains book descriptions, stats, and a mini-guide to Lada Ray books.

3. Type “Lada Ray” in Amazon Books – a list of my books will come up. Or simply click here for the list.

4. Useful tip: in order to find any of my books in your country, simply click on respective Amazon.com link above. Then, substitute ‘com’ on your computer’s top url bar for ‘co.uk,’ ‘de,’ ‘it,’ ‘fr,’ ‘jp,’ or any other country.

A million thanks to Christa from the Netherlands, and to Celeste Brunetti,

for posting two new 5 star reviews for THE EARTH SHIFTER on Amazon!

Washington Post Mentions Lada Ray… and Misspells Her Name + Announcements

Reposted from FuturisTrendcast Blog:

I received this comment from one of my very nice readers.

Jul 20, 2:05 am

“Allô Lada!!

Surprise!! Your fame is spreading far and wide!!

Look what I found at The Washington Post:
*********wrote blogger Lada Rey, in all-caps********
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2014/07/18/a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-webs-many-mh17-conspiracy-theories

A comprehensive guide to the web’s many MH17 conspiracy theories

4. Ukraine shot the plane down to kill Vladimir Putin.
This rumor actually originated with Russia’s state-run Interfax news agency before seeping into the U.S. Per Interfax, Putin’s presidential jet flew the same route as MH17 at almost the same time, and his aircraft was the same size and coloring as the downed plane — leading some to speculate that the crash was an assassination attempt gone very wrong. (“This was a deliberate attempt to shoot down the Russian presidential plane carrying Vladimir Putin one his way from the Latin American visit,” wrote blogger Lada Rey, in all-caps.) But as Russia’s RT, another state-run news outlet, debunked shortly thereafter, Putin’s plane has not flown over Ukraine since the start of conflict there, and he certainly wasn’t flying that flight path Thursday. At the time, Putin was returning to Moscow from Brazil.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK!! I truly value each of your articles.
Enjoy the Fame!!
Endless Blessings!”
……

She later added this:

“Lada….I just viewed it as simply throwing disinformation to discredit a **genuine Journalist**, one of the few we still have!!!
Just think Lada, you are now in the Mainstream Media.
Take Good Care, Hugs!!”
….

I want to thank this reader one more time for a nice mention and for thinking of me so highly! It means a lot. I am not using her name in this post as I am not sure whether she would like that.

Many of you may know how I feel about the American MSM. Certainly, I wouldn’t say ‘no’ should someone in the mainstream press or TV ask me to genuinely, truly speak my mind, and not in the derogatory way as is portrayed in this ‘MSM article.’ The more people hear my true message, the better! Of course, they would also have to spell my name correctly, for start. But I think at least one of these would be a real miracle to hope for.

Many of you also know that my opinion and prediction is that the global alternative and citizen media is what really counts today, and will count even more tomorrow. Consider this: to get my name mentioned in that Washington Post piece, someone had to do a google search, where I must have come on top.

To illustrate this, I want to give you a bit of statistics from the FuturisTrendcast blog.

On July 18, after I published my article: Blatant #FalseFlag: #Ukraine Missile Targeted #Putin’s Plane – Hit Malaysia #MH17 Instead!, and when the Washington Post piece came out, I had the following stats:

Total visitors: 5,889

Referrers:

search engines: 1,810

whatreallyhappened.com: 509

‘What is the real truth’ blog: 413

Facebook: 210

airliners.net: 194

Twitter: 78

A bunch of other smaller ones, and near the bottom…

washingtonpost.com: 6

The following day, after I published Post Scriptum: Strange Coincidences? Moscow Metro Tragedy and Malaysian Airliner MH17 Downing, visits and search engine stats are similar, but some top referrers stats go somewhat down, while clicks from washingtonpost.com jump to 163 (delayed reaction, I guess).

Top viewership countries for 7/18: USA (by far), Australia, UK, Netherlands, Malaysia, Canada, Germany, and many more.

Today’s morning top viewership so far: USA, Australia, Canada, Slovakia, UK, Netherlands, Malaysia, Russia, Germany, Japan, S. Africa, France, Romania, Singapore, Poland, etc.

I think this illustrates very well the power of alternative and citizen media in the dissemination of the information.

In conclusion, some important announcements!

1. My interview with The Plane Truth show, which delves into various hidden aspects and powers of the world, will come out in a day or so. Links and video will be posted here, as well as in Interviews. Also check Time Monk Radio YT channel and Lada Ray YouTube channel for more. This interview touches upon my global predictions, and my books, especially THE EARTH SHIFTER, and GOLD TRAIN. We talk about what is the true Feng Shui; the shamanic power animal and soul retrieval practices; Siberian shaman Tengis as the most formidable and fascinating character of The Earth Shifter. We talk about the real Earth Keepers and ETs, as well as what is demons, and other hidden energies. We touch upon the Ray System of Long Cycles, and my predictions based on this system. Don’t miss this fascinating interview!

Added: my interview Earth Shifters, Feng Shui and Global Predictions has posted on YT! Click here to view!

2. I have received several new awesome reviews for several of my books, including The Earth Shifter,Gold Train and Catharsis (Legend of the Lemurians). Thank you, dear readers! I really appreciate it.

Those interested in understanding my message deeper, as well as enjoying a great read, can purchase my books at Amazon and BN worldwide as very affordable ebooks, and paperbacks. Click on book images on the side bar, or go to Books.

3. Dear readers, the article I promised you all: Is Putin a Part of NWO? will be posted a few days later! In the article I will also talk about what is behind the recent scandal of the Belgian US treasury purchase.

4.  A very Special announcement! 

I am planning a Special Report that will go much deeper into the phenomenon wrapped in an enigmathat we know as “Vladimir Putin.”

I know there is tremendous interest in solving the Putin riddle worldwide, and believe me – it’s for a very good reason. Let’s just say, I solved this riddle. I will talk about it first in the upcoming article: “Is Putin a Part of NWO?”

However, my Special Report will go substantially deeper and will uncover mysteries of completely different nature.

I will go into history and language mysteries; into striking and profound geopolitical parallels and coincidences; the karmic and mystical depths that few will ever see, or consider. The report will also touch upon prophecies, the issue of the planetary energy, and the destiny and global role of Russia.

This report will be available in three weeks or so, via my new website only. Since I spend a lot of my time and energy (literally and figuratively speaking) sharing my knowledge and information with all for free, this can be your opportunity to contribute and support my work. Therefore, I decided to make this Special Report donation-based.

We are working to make it available for purchase/donation worldwide. In my upcoming interview with The Plane Truth, I give a teaser and a sneak peek into the report that is quite fascinating in itself. As mentioned above, the interview will be available in a day or so.

Hello, everyone!

I have received some questions about where I’d disappeared lately and whether my books are still a part of #KDPSelect program.

As some of you may know, very recently I have moved my residence, and I am presently settling down. I love the new house; it’s nice, yet substantially smaller than my old one. I am rather happy about that since I don’t have to waste as much time taking care of the property. Instead, I can let my creative juices flow more freely, while concentrating fully on things that matter – namely my various spiritual, creative and life projects that have been blossoming wonderfully.

I recently received this 4 star review for GREEN DESERT (Accidental Spy Iraq Prequel) on Barnes & Noble.

fernweh428 Posted September 28, 2013

I don’t quite know what to make of this book, and I mean that in the best sense. It captures my attention and I will re-read it soon.

This review made me giggle, but it certainly was a giggle meant in the best sense! 😉

I guess I should be flattered that Green Desert captured someone’s attention and made them think. This was my intention you know. So, a funny review – yes; but I’ll take it! Perhaps my ideas and thoughts will be mainstream one day. Like with the 100 Monkeys Theory, it takes only a small percentage of people to shift to a new way of thinking – and acting (!) – in order to create a massive paradigm shift for humanity. 

Till then, I’ll keep dreaming, writing and speaking out…

As Jade Snow, the heroine of Accidental Spy Adventures, said in conclusion of Green Desert, “One day, desert will be a garden again…”

Our beautiful Earth is a garden, not a military battleground! This is the message of Green Desert, and of my other books.

From GREEN DESERT description on Amazon: “The Butterfly Effect with an unexpected twist, this short, but full of action and drama read explores how interconnected we really are in this world.” Ebook is currently available #FREE from Barnes & Noble #Nook, Amazon #Kindle, as well as from other retailers. See all buy links here!

All my books (both paperbacks and ebooks) can now be purchased from multiple sources, including Barnes&Noble, Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, Sony, Apple, etc. Profits from my book sales go to no-kill animal shelter in Upstate NY, USA: Tompkins County SPCA; and to Siberian Tiger rescue project in Russia.

I’ll be Donating Profits From My Book Sales to No-Kill Animal Shelter in USA and Siberian Tiger Rescue in Russia

Each of the books I’ve written is about justice, peace and/or kindness amid the most adverse circumstances. Most of my books feature amazing and beautiful animals, both wild and domestic. I am very passionate about the beauty of our Mother Earth and about her animals being treated with respect and care they deserve.

THE EARTH SHIFTER features one of the miracles of Lake Baikal – its endemic seals (Nerpa), Siberian Bear, wolves, White Eagle, as well as the majestic Siberian Tiger; both STEPFORD USA and GOLD TRAIN feature rescued super-intelligent and heroic cats and dogs; and even my sci-fi novelette CATHARSIS includes a note of warning against cruelty and about the need for animal protection and preservation.

For a while, I’ve been considering donating profits from my book sales to a no-kill animal shelter and animal rescue in New York State, USA and in Siberia, Russia. I’ve done some research, and these are the organizations that clearly stand out.

NEW YORK, USA

Tompkins County SPCA http://www.spcaonline.com/ The first ever no-kill animal shelter in US History! Provides shelter to 3,000 animals annually.

Sept. 28, 2013 March for the Animals, Ithaca, NY

The Tompkins County SPCA was incorporated in February 1902 in an effort to prosecute individual cases of cruelty. In 1999, the SPCA Board of Directors resolved to become a “no kill” shelter, maintaining its no-kill status continuously since 2001-2002. Animal People, a prominent national journal on animal issues, ranked Tompkins County (Ithaca, NY) the safest community for companion animals in the United States. P.S. Ithaca (home to Cornell University and Buddhist Monastery – Dalai Lama’s Seat in North America) has also been voted the most spiritual city in the USA.

Catskill Animal Sanctuary, Saugerties, NY http://casanctuary.org/

Located in the New York’s Hudson Valley, Catskill Animal Sanctuary (CAS) is a 110-acre haven for horses and farm animals rescued from cruelty and neglect. In addition to emergency rescue, CAS provides innovative programs that educate the public about the sentience of farm animals, and the devastating impacts of agribusiness and institutionalized cruelty on animals, people, and the planet.

CAS offers weekend and special group tours, vegan cooking classes,speaking engagements, a summer day camp for kids, and a host of compassionate programming year round at its primarily solar-powered Sanctuary. Since 2001, CAS has rescued over 2,000 animals, and has worked in tandem with law enforcement to bring animal abusers to justice. Catskill Animal Sanctuary’s mission is to rescue and rehabilitate farm animals and horses, to advocate for the abolition of institutionalized cruelty to animals through education, and to help people adopt a cruelty-free lifestyle.

Publishing Paradigm Shift. What Is Better: Amazon KDP Select or Broad Distribution?

Amazon KDP Select (KDPS) or broad distribution through multiple channels – in other words, to be or not to be. For me, it was a cause of much vacillation for the past year.

Finally, I have happily parted ways with #KDPSelect, not planning to ever return, barring some sort of massive revamping of their system. My books are back to #BN and #Smashwords, and slowly but surely they are also posting on #Kobo, #Sony and #Apple as well. I am also making both CATHARSIS and GREEN DESERT free everywhere, to celebrate this joyous occasion! See My books at a glance + buy links. A separate post is coming soon with direct links to Kobo, BN and Sony. There will be freebies too, so watch for them!

So why am I celebrating?

Are Negative Reviews Worth Our Attention?

Tags

5 star book review, Amazon.com, Author Lada Ray, bad book reviews, book reviews, Gold Train (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure), indie authors, Indie Publishing, KDP Select, mystery/thrillers

As the author of 5 books, including 1 epic novel (THE EARTH SHIFTER), 2 full-size novels (GOLD TRAIN & STEPFORD USA) and 2 novelettes (Catharsis, Legend of the Lemurians & Green Desert), I’ve received lots of fabulous reviews, as well as my fair share of negative ones. I suppose it’s natural, as it’s impossible for everyone to like our writing. That said, it is so much easier to write pop lit, which goes down easily and is consumed as the mental equivalent of coke or white flower cake. Chances of receiving a low starred review are also much lower if the subject you write about is a “consensus” one, in other words, the society at large agrees that the way you present your story (or topic for non-fiction)  is how it should play out. Another way of saying this is that you are “politically correct” and your point of view is accepted by society as a dominant one.

It is a very different thing to be at the forefront of change, stimulating people’s thought and imagination. Those of us brave enough to write about controversial and important topics that we want to help people understand, unwittingly subject themselves to attacks and criticism of the lowest nature from those who fail to understand or are unwilling to accept.

We are continuing our multimedia Russian adventure through stories, pics and vids. Today, we’ll be watching several very cool vids from our friends at the Real Russia Video Blog. What I especially like is that these are authentic Russian life vids. And another interesting thing is that both Sergeys live in Ufa, located in the Ural Mountains next to Siberia, and this is their virgin visit to the capital of Russia (to be sure, they came back for later vids). All this brings a certain sense of discovery to the Moscow experiences through their fresh eyes. Enjoy!

A Stroll Around Gorky Park – May 9, 2013, Victory Day (Den Pobedi)! One of my fave episodes: How people in Russia relax and enjoy themselves. So nice and sunny over there – it was snowing on May 9 here, in the Catskills, NY. Where did I go wrong? 😉

Zero Kilometer & Red Square. Red Square hardly needs an introduction. Experience first hand the unique energy of this place through the eyes of Russians visiting it for the very first time. Zero Kilometer is a point from which all roads in Russia begin. It is a symbolic marker located next to the Red Square, at the very beginning of Moscow’s, and all of Russia’s, principal street, Tverskaya Ulitsa. The historic Tverskaya runs from Red Square through the entire Moscow, turning into the highway to Saint Petersburg on the city’s outskirts. This famous street plays an important role in my books, THE EARTH SHIFTER and GOLD TRAIN.

The continuation of the Beautiful Russia Series is here and today’s highlight is Moscow!

Every September, Red Square hosts International Military Band Festival, Spasskaya Tower, featuring military bands from all over the world. Grand finale of the festival – joint band showcase. 

I love this city, where I was born and where I spent some of the happiest moments of my early childhood. What’s more, Moscow is featured prominently in two of my books: the top-rated metaphysical fantasy/thriller THE EARTH SHIFTER & mystery/thriller GOLD TRAIN (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure).

According to the Russians, Moscow is where Russia’s heart is. Affectionately, it is referred to as “Moscow, the city of white stone” – Moskva Belokamennaya.” Although the present day Kremlin Wall is red brick, the ancient Moscow Kremlin, churches and other buildings were white stone, as seen on the Kremlin picture above, and as you would notice in the many architectural treasures of the Golden Ring of Russia. J.R.R. Tolkien modeled his White City in the Lord of the Rings after Moscow. Read more about the Golden Ring and Tolkien’s White City here.

How to Get Your Very Own Book Category on Amazon

Wh…wha….what? Getting your very own book category on Amazon???? Yeah, right, you say. As it stands right now, KDP (Amazon indie publishing platform) is missing even mainstream categories to list some of our books accurately, as I found out during my free promo a few days ago. For example, my book GOLD TRAIN (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure), should be listed in the following categories:

1. Mystery & thrillers – thrillers – tales of espionage & intrigue & 2. Romance – romantic mystery.

Guess what, “thrillers” is as far as KDP categories go, although “tales of espionage and & intrigue” is available on Amazon! And with “romance” they only offer “romantic suspense” (not entirely appropriate at all), but no “romantic mystery” (totally appropriate), although again, this category is available and I’ve seen some books listed.

So, you think the title of this post is a joke? Nope, honest to goodness truth! Some ARE getting not only all the categories their hearts desire, but also, their very own categories on Amazon, like the well known TV series Stargate Atlantis, which has been adapted as novels.

First a few important announcements:

1. Wow! Due to the veritable avalanche of super-exciting features, interviews and posts that are still waiting in line, I am happy to announce that I’m extending THE EARTH SHIFTER Virtual Tour into May. Still to come: Real Russia Video Journey 2: Spectacular Moscow, new dramatic video/audio excerpts, new reviews & features! And of course, don’t miss our Mega-giveaway grand finale on May 31! There’s still time to enter!

2. In the excitement of the launch, I somehow forgot to mention that I have started my own brand & publishing house dedicated to publishing and promoting literature with conscience, message and meaning. After a lot of deliberations, I’ve decided to call it RAY HOUSE. Going forward, all my books will carry the Ray House logo and designation.

3. YA Revolution is gaining momentum and I hope to have more activities going on soon. It is a grassroots movement, and all authors interested in literature with message & meaning are encouraged to join and network! Read more here.

And now, today’s feature:

Exciting and notable 2013 thriller releases for all ages! This is an article generously shared by author Joshua Lisec. Featured on his blog and syndicated to his publisher’s website, it includes the new releases by Dan Brown, Josh Lisec and yours truly.

Remember how a few months ago a meteor exploded above Chelyabinsk in the Ural Mountains, Russia? It happened shortly after the release of my visionary fantasy/thriller THE EARTH SHIFTER, and much like it was described in the book. Many readers had dubbed the book prophetic. Read more about THE EARTH SHIFTER.

Check out the post and eyewitness videos: The Earth Shifter Plot Playing out in Real Time: Massive Meteor Rocks Russia

I feel a similar sense of Deja Vu with the recent Boston Marathon bombing.

How exciting! Our very own M.C. O’Neil of the RoyalManaBall.com blog has been interviewed by Vinny Eastwood on The Vinny Eastwood Show on 2/18/13! Vinny is a trail-blazing, forward-looking, off-beat and brave Kiwi, who’s interviewed the likes of David Icke!

Mark and Vinny discussed the following topics: NWO, the shifts in the world system and the USA, conspiracy theories, predictive programming in the media and YA literature, and what it’s like to become aware that what you’ve been told your entire life may be not the truth. Mark O’Neil also talked about his fascinating YA fantasy, The Ancients and the Angels. I’m starting to read book one, The Ancients and the Angels: Celestials, and I’ll let you know my thoughts as soon as I’m done. Look for my review here, on GR, Shelfari, and Amazon in a few weeks!

What’s also awesome, Mark O’Neil discussed me and my book, The Earth Shifter, on the show, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for this terrific endorsement! Watch the entire interview below! The piece about yours truly starts at 35:06. Check out the whole thing!
