			Finally got the news I'd been waiting for - my publisher just reverted the rights and I'm now free to publish my own editions on Kindle US and UK (I've already published Hal 1, just waiting for Amazon to clear it.)  Currently giving #2 a quick polish. Once all four are up on Amazon I'll be taking down the freebie of book one, but I'll still offer review copies. |

  I'm sure that after the Amazon user reviews begin to come in, your success will only continue to grow. Congratulations! | |

			I just came up with a way to describe the humour: It's Spinal Tap, not Spaceballs. As per the thread title, you can still get a review copy here: http://www.spacejock.com.au/Hal1Download.html Last edited by Spacejock; 08-20-2011 at 10:57 AM. |

			Before I go into the new Hal Spacejock SS, a fan artist I know has started a Hal Spacejock web comic: http://www.spacejock.com.au/Comic001.html Okay, I haven't been able to find any other threads for my books, so I'll post here and edit it out if it's in the wrong place. (I asked the mod a few days ago but he's probably very busy.) Following the JA Konrath model for world domination, I just released a new Hal Spacejock short story (Hal Spacejock Framed) for Kindle & Smashwords: A straightforward cargo delivery takes a left turn when Hal Spacejock gets sidetracked. But with 200 shares in a worthless company on offer, who wouldn't step into a makeshift teleporter which has already claimed one victim? Hal and Clunk, stars of the Hal Spacejock comedy series, feature in this brand new 8000-word short story. 'Framed' slots into the series any time after Hal Spacejock Second Course, but can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. Kurt took up his position in front of the robot, while Hal took up his position behind a large rock twenty metres away. With shaking fingers, Kurt reached for the cap on Clunk's head. Meanwhile, Hal's fingers were in his ears and his eyes were screwed shut. "It's okay," said Kurt. "It's just a solar panel." "Attached to what?" "His brain, I think." "Oh wonderful," muttered Hal. "He'll be thinking and talking and arguing, and he still won't be able to do anything useful." http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JI86J0 and http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/84409 |

			Congrats on the webcomic Simon. I bet you never thought the day would come when Hal was a comic character.    |
