Not really!

Try the self publishing way. I started as a set published author, but take care of three important things: edit your book very well (better if letting a professional do the job); choose a catchy cover; keep the price low
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Cut that chapter! Shorten that scene!

The Caravaggio Conspiracy by Alex Connor

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Maybe The Lord of the Rings and The Corpus Hermeticum
