My thriller, Crack-Up, is available DRM-free at the Amazon Kindle site and at B&N, Smashwords, etc. It's sold neary 3,000 copies in recent months, earning 15 five-star reviews to date on Amazon and at Smashwords.

Interesting plot ... I don't think I've read anything like this before. In my to-buy list.

*** PRICE REDUCTION ***
CRACK-UP is now available at $0.99 (simply as a pricing/sales volume experiment). In addition to the Kindle store it is also available at the same discounted price from Smashwords in ePub as well as other formats. (Not sure how long it'll take to change the price at Barnes & Noble.) Thanks to those here who've already given the book a try. Last edited by Eric C; 02-10-2010 at 11:53 AM. |

Finished it last night.
Crack-Up was one of the best books I've read in the last few months. The combination of a very well thought-out plot, a lot of twists and turns, as well as the excellent way the protagonist's mental issues are told in a first-person way makes this a page turner. Never dull, always believable, funny a lot of times ... I have to say, this is a must-read! |

Hi Eric
I have bought your book, moved it up my list to be read next... Thank you Got it from Smashwords for the 0.99 instead of Amazon who charges international customers an extra $2, which doesn't go to anyone but Amazon... Last edited by lene1949; 02-24-2010 at 01:42 AM. |

Thanks for the review, Mores, and for posting it on Smashwords as well. Much appreciated. I think yours is my first review from outside the USA. My wife says this makes me an international sensation.
And thanks Lene, for giving the book a try. Let me know how you find it. |

Hi Eric
Finished Crack-Up, and reading about Schizophrenics are certainly much more fun than being around them... It made me think back to an old friend of mine who had this disease... Thinking back on the things she did is hilarious, but at the time very frightening.. I'm sorry to say that my nervous system couldn't handle it. The book was hard to put down with a surprising ending.. A Good read Thanks for making it available.. |

Glad you enjoyed, Lene. Yes, schizophrenics are an intense experience in real life, and I worked very hard to be true to the disease in the novel. A psychologist who read the book told me I succeeded on that point. Of course he's my uncle.

I'm happy to report I'll be keeping the 99 cent sale price until the end of June.
I'm also happy to report that Crack-Up has reached the top ten on Amazon Kindle among independently published mysteries and thrillers at the same price point (according to Jungle Search). The novel is also available for the B&N Nook and at Smashwords and soon Kobo and Sony. If you've read the book I'd like to hear from you... |
