Tom Everson, forced to flee his home during the 2011 oil riots, returns eight years later to find the girl he had to leave behind, start a business and make a life for them both. But he had to sneak into the country illegally, the energy situation has only gotten worse, and the country may break out in more riots at any time! Did Tom arrive at exactly the wrong moment?

Note: Chasing the Light includes adult subjects and language. Some passages are considered inappropriate for minors.
Steve's writing is always high quality and thoughtful. If you're looking for a new book and a DRM-free author to support, give it a try!

Now that I've got my new (and only) e-reader, I will give The Onuissance Cells a chance (as soon as I finish reading the current ebook). If I like it, I'll surely buy this Chasing the Light. Excelent price.

Now as I recall from last time I bought one of your ebooks I'm left patiently waiting to get an email that will explain how to download my purchase right?

Feedback: it would be nice if you had Paypal take customers to a web page that clearly explains: what is next, how exactly you'll get your goodie.

Right... and as it turns out, Paypal seems to be having e-mail issues for some. I'm looking into it, now.

Something else I need to look into!

Edit: For some reason, PayPal is having issues processing foreign orders, based on the reports I've gotten from foreign purchasers who did not get their download. It doesn't seem to be happening to everyone, though, so I'll have to check further with PayPal on this.

If you don't get your download e-mail within a few minutes of purchasing, contact me directly at stevej@stevejordanbooks.com, and I'll make sure you get your book!

Edit- Edit: I believe I've taken care of the problem.

I may live in the People's Republic of Washington but last I checked it's still physically in the United States. I sent you a "I want my goodie and read it too!" email from my Paypal registered email account.

You fool around with ePub and look what happens... :)

You're right... turns out it wasn't restricted to foreign accounts.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. As much as I whine for more Kestral Voyages... Onuissance is incredible.

My favorite is "Harlequin", it is a great tribute to Harlan Ellison's Repent, Harlequin! Said the Tick tock man.

And, it is one book that gains after every rereading. The way Jordan handles the topic of being "black" is amazing, and unique.

A great book, IMHO.

Wow, that's an amazing price, Steve. We've clashed a couple of times on these boards on IP issues, but I never realised you were actually one of those authors that had fair prices (incredibly fair actually).

Yes, those signatures under each person's post are incredibly hard to find ... :rolleyes:
SCNR :p

I have really enjoyed your Steve's books and then down went my reader just as soon as i bought one of the bundles. Should get a new reader soon and then will catch up and get this latest book.

Fair prices? Hell yes.

Joerg_Mosthaf 06-30-2008 08:50 AM

There still seem to be some problems with the download email. I just ordered the "perfect bundle" and "Chasing the Light". Still no download mail three hours later.
I have already written an email to Steve.

I Loved "The Onnuisance Cells" and I'm looking forward to reading the rest :)

Yup, the books are on the way, Joerg!

I apologize to everyone about these weird download problems. I was rushed in getting everything together, but I thought everything was working fine when I announced. But I'll get it fixed (if, for no other reason, than I don't want to be worrying about this during my vacation!).

And to everyone else: Thanks so much for the kind words!
