WOW! I JUST PUBLISHED MY BOOK!

Post Reply New Topic

That’s right, my book Who Better To Play the Devil?, a collection of short stories will go on sale at bookstores everywhere and at Amazon and Barnes and Noble online by Christmas. I am so excited! I've sold individual shorts or essays before but this is the big time.

I have also arranged with my publisher that part of all sales will go to Autism and Asperger’s related charities. I’m in WNC but if you know a good deserving charity or service let me know and I’ll try to add it to my list. (No promises, tho. I only get 15% of all sales and that can only be divided by so much.)

I sincerely want to thank all of those of you here who helped me with problems, issues, and so forth so I was able to maintain cohesion long enough to do this.
I don’t log in here often, my computer only logs at 14.4 and I am insanely impatient but this site and you all of you have been a tremendous blessing to me. So thanks, and if you can, read my book and let me know what think. Buying is optional but would be appreciated and I’ll sign copies for the interested.

Congratulations.

Congratulations. Without giving the plot away what genre of short stories are they?

You should post this in "General Autism Discussion".

that's great. Now on to book tours, getting on TV and radio at 'stupid o'clock', and book signings. Well, it will come to that. Now...on to book two...

good on ya, keep it up.

Appreciate it. Tallyman - they are dark fantasy, cyberpunk and horror. One of my online fans calls the "Stephen King nuggets"
Pakled - oh, man, yup - the public speaking stuff and the signings, the author photo and the radio interview with the local public station are all on the calender and all give me a very large case of the willies but my fiancee has promised to pull me out from under the desk (no joke sadly ) and make sure that I get thru everything with a minimum of fuss.
Thanks also, Kaleido and DJRnold. Appreciate the support.

What's WNC?

congrats man

Amazon link?

Congratulations!

Can you post a couple of first paragraphs
and give us a tantalising glimpse?

I tantalising glimpses!
They taste like chicken!
Yum!

Wow, congratulations!!

I used to want to be writer myself. In fact, I still do but in a different fashion.

That's awesome! Congratulations.

I want to get a copy!

Hey, well done! Congratulations!

Congrats on your book! I'm still writing one up that I hope will be published. I hope you sell many copies!

Rule #1 in viral marketing - don't be so obvious. Talk to people about your book before plastering it all over forums. People will more likely buy your book if they get to know you a little bit.

Wow, and most writers have such a hard time getting a book even published no matter how good the book.

CONGRADULATIONS!! !
