As the Mirror Cracks by Steve Jordan

Steven Lyle Jordan · 09-20-2007, 12:05 PM

Allow me to announce the release of my latest novel, As the Mirror Cracks.

Set in a world just a few steps ahead of our own, As the Mirror Cracks tells the story about the discovery of a plot to destroy an internationally-popular virtual reality space. Yeah, yeah, "So what," you say... but this is not just a virtual space... it has become thoroughly integrated into the world's economy, making its potential destruction a worldwide financial crisis! It's a race to save the Mirror, led by a small group of citizens, and their incredibly colorful Mirror avatars, or "reflections."

As the Mirror Cracks is now available at SteveJordanBooks.com. As always, the e-book is $2.50, available in multiple formats, and with NO DRM to sour the e-book-reading process! Enjoy!

Editorial Note: Let me add that Steve is a very active and valued member of MobileRead. His stance on DRM is much appreciated. But most importantly, he's a great writer. I have read several of his books, and I intend to go buy this one as well. Let's show the world that even a small online e-book publisher can do well by embracing a DRM-free philosophy!

On my way to purchase it

Titke reminds me of Agatha Christie's "The mirror cracked from side to side"

Looking forward to it!

Congrats on your new novel, Steve!

Just got it too! As a fairly newbie in the UK, thought at first the title referred to our national tabloid newspaper, the Daily Mirror! Look forward to reading a very reasonably priced novel.

Steve,

I'm truly sorry to inform you that from Germany I still get

stevejordanbooks.com has recently expired !

though your newsletter stated that your problems with Melbourne IT were resolved.

Very sad indeed, because I was on my way to purchase "As The Mirror Cracks"!...

HarryT · 09-23-2007, 07:08 AM

It's fine for me from the UK!

DigiDirk · 09-23-2007, 07:18 AM

Yes, I see others confirming their purchase, but I won't get through.

See my attachments.

Pinging stevejordanbooks.com [216.227.219.60] with 32 bytes of data:

HarryT · 09-23-2007, 07:49 AM

It resolves to "216.227.219.60" for me, but putting that into my web browser takes me to www.lunarpages.com who I'd guess are the company hosting the site.

Bob Russell · 09-23-2007, 08:01 AM

It resolves to that same IP for me when I ping. www.SteveJordanBooks.com works for me, but the IP gives me lunarpages also.

DigiDirk · 09-23-2007, 08:06 AM

Tough luck for me then?

Do I have to wait 'til the IP gets propageted?

Any thoughts?

You could try a flushing the DNS cache.

Another thing is to add a DNS in the front of your list that has the DNS associated with the correct IP.
