YEA!!! It's almost here.

I just got in and went to download and got the, "Sorry, we couldn't find your book" message. Then I finished reading this thread and saw why.

OK, still patiently waiting.

I've uploaded to Smashwords (I was going to try it out anyway) and it is now available, and readable from there https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/3383

I've updated the first post in this thread with the new link

EDIT: It's still a little funky. This is going to need some further investigation

And I'll have to go to bed soon before my eyes give up

Moejoe.

I'll go download now.

I plan on doing absolutely nothing but laundry and reading tomorrow.

It's readable but, there's some weird gaps and I thought i'd fixed the Feedbooks weirdness by replacing the *** with ~ , that seemed to put the paragraphs back, but now it's inserting a space after the beginning quotation marks.

EDIT: I knew my dastardly brother had his hand in all this!!

I snagged it anyway.

I'm interested in the story first and the "purdiness" second.

Thank you again for sharing your work with us. I always look forward to reading your stories.

Well I hope you enjoy it, whether it's purdy or not

The Feedbooks thing is weird, I noticed a whole paragraph cut in half and one italicised with the first two words missing

Downloaded from Smashwords and queued. Thanks, Moejoe! Hmm, it jumps between double- and single-spaced lines, back and forth. Still readable...

Oh, OK, it isn't queued, I've dipped into it already. I love your stories

Thanks for downloading.

I'm having a nightmare with all this tonight!!! I've uiploaded another version to Smashwords which seems to be as close as damn to the original. But I'm wondering now is it something to do with Open Office (although I've never had this problem before).

Still looking for an answer.....

FIXED THE DAMN THING AT LAST!!

Well, I say fixed what I mean is that I just kept re-pasting the file into Feedbooks and checking the preview, and then it started looking right

In any case, it's 7am and it's now back up on Feedbooks

I'm going to bed now

I have ePub version 22:36:36 now, thanks. The line spacing is consistent throughout. Very readable.

I'm halfway through already. I have to keep reading now...

Night, Moejoe!

just grabbed this,

will leave feedback when im done

animedude01 · 08-17-2009, 02:13 AM

Downloaded, started, and finished last night.

I thought it was a great story, clever ending, and perfect for a quick evening read.

I look forward to more Sam Luka books

I'm not really a fan of pulp fiction nor am I really a detective/mystery type of guy, however I really enjoyed Dead Pigeons.

a well written and easy flowing story, I look forward to reading more of Luka's work.

Stienbeck was great too!

Glad you enjoyed it

There will be at least 3 Sam Luka novels, all in the same style and about the same length as the Spenser novels of Robert B Parker (55,000 words).

for reading.
