I am proud to announce that I have published my first novel. The e-book is available for immediate download to your Kindle, iPad, Sony Reader, Kobo, iPhone, Android, PC, or Mac at http://www.smashwords.com/ books/view/44005 In a few weeks, you may also acquire the book at the on-line sites of Barnes and Noble, Borders, Apple, and Amazon.
The book is a work of adventure, science fiction. The story is not set in deep space but is a very down-to-earth tale of a young traveler who uses his skills and intelligence to manage and rise above an impossible set of circumstances. The book holds appeal for many readers and includes travel, invention, sport, romance, fighting for freedom, the love of family and friends, and a whole lot of flying.
The ideas for the book were spawned while soaring on thermals above the pastures of Central Florida. I began the story in Saint Petersburg, Florida. After two-and-a-half years of writing and editing, I completed the manuscript here in Arabia. In all phases of the project, I turned to the skies for inspiration; however, in the Emirates, I have traded a glider over flat farmland for a microlight between the Hajar Mountains and the Gulf.
After you have read the story, please write a brief review (hopefully a five-star accolade) on the Web site of the retailer. This insight is of great value to others who are contemplating whether or not to acquire my manuscript.
Remember to tell others about the Fire Erzu of Qi' Lam and explain how they may purchase and enjoy the story. For us indie publishers, we depend on you, our readers, to spread the word about our works. May my story go viral!
If enough of you savor the work, we may convince the influential gentlemen of Hollywood to create a film from the book. It would make an exciting movie! To date, most folks are thinking of casting Liam Neeson in the role of Seripovo. (You will have to read the book to decide whether or not you agree.)
Thanks for indulging my blatant self-promotion. I need inspiration to continue with the sequel, The Third Race.
