OOPS!

I forgot some info and made the mistake of editing my other post so I'll just repost it here at the end of the thread to make it easier for everyone to find!
I forgot to tell you genteel readers that this book contains some bad language! Approximately 3 bad words at my last count - so be warned! Some of you with sensativity to such things might be shocked when an alien cusses! - But then again, considering the situation when it happens I am not sure it was the alien, the Ship, or one of the little pocket-nano's that cusses and so it remains unclear. Read for yourself and see if you can figure it out! - But be warned! I take no responsibility for fits of fainting when you read it!
Original info:
Review of Future Useless
Still 50% off until June 15th! Use coupon code:TQ95M

From the site: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/10488
(be sure to check out the ambush video of my wife shilling my book! She didn't know she was doing it. I told her it was a test and posted it anyway!)

About Future Useless:
Hospital Janitor Carl Gussman died in 1997 and chose to freeze himself to be revived later when science could accomplish that task.
The problem is that Carl lay forgotten and unwanted.
In 2976 Carl was thawed out, but found freezer-burn had ruined his memories.
Complicated by the fact that the future didn't need janitors anymore, and a phobia to the nanotech needed to live a normal life on Earth Carl found himself in a difficult situation.
In a future where Carl found himself useless, he did what no one expected-
He disappeared ...

until now.

5 Stars! check it yourself!

Alright, so i start reading before bed on a Saturday, and i am so hot to read the rest that i skip my comics, news, and post secret just to see what happens. Carl is a fully realized character, he is grumpy, smart, and always thinking. I liked all of the characters, even the Dr. The ideas presented in the book are plausible, and this adds an edge to the story. I will be keeping this story, to read again and again. I am looking forward to what happens next! I hope this story finds its way to the right desk, i would love to see it published.

And for the Shameless Factor Modifier!::::

I am working a project to put 1000 copies of Future Useless in Print! - Check it out here:

Shameless self-promoting enough? I can do worse!
