Yours truely is a published author! WOOHOO!
 
http://www.amazon.com/Oort-Perimeter...dp/1439252238/

Been working on this for a bit, but I've now got my first book out there in the wild. It's a sci-fi called "The Oort Perimeter". You guys would really love it. :) I'm actually hoping to do this for a living. IE, be a published novelist. I think it'd be fun to do. :D

Anywho, if you guys want a copy, you can order one right now. Oh, and another thing, it's book 1 of a 15 book series. ;) You can learn more about them by going to the information page for the book. The others are linked on the right side. ;)

Looks interesting! How much for an e-book file I can read with FBreader on my N800?:D

Awesome-- as a science fiction writer myself I look forward to reading it, and wish you success!

EDIT: I was pleasantly shocked to see Digikid in your forum-- he and I hung out in the Bungie gaming forum for a long time. Small (internet) world!

nwerneck, the ebook file is coming eventually, but right now the only kind they'll produce is a Kindle compatible file, which means that pretty much everyone else is locked out. Only Kindle users can read it. So what I'm planning on doing is creating a universal ebook compatible file myself and just selling it off my website. Of course, if you guys can read PDF on your readers, I may just go that way instead. :)

Texrat, you know digi? Dude, yeah, this really is a small world. :D Speaking of which, since you know him, why don't you drop by and say hi. :D

Congrats! But what kind of sci-fi is it?

Edit: Ah stupid me, went to the info page you linked.

As of now, it doesn't have a Kindle option.

I would only get it as of now if it was free or low cost, or has a great review in the NY Times. A lot of authors are giving away the first in a series on Kindle, then raising the price as readers are hooked...

Thanks guys. Go grab yourself a copy. It's a really great story and I think you'll enjoy it a lot. :D

Plus, when you buy copies, it helps me cover the cost of publishing it. ^_^;;
