I was thinking about contacting Mr. Shepard to enquire about whether an ebook edition is forthcoming (he's released other books electronically, and writes for electricstory.com)

An epistemological zombie novel sounds interesting. Even zombies have a right to question existence.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
