Greetings Mobile Read community and fans of speculative fiction:

Book I of the "The Days and Months We Were First Born" Trilogy is now free in the US and UK!

In the summer of 2068, New Yorker Martin Jacob had a sweet life ahead of him. He had recently graduated from NYU. He spent most of his time with his artist girlfriend, who had a wonderful apartment in Harlem. And in September, he was to begin his career as a History teacher for a private school in Connecticut. An easy life was laid out before him. Then a man-made virus came along, and it turned his world upside down.

Martin wakes to find a disheveled President addressing the nation. His girlfriend is driven mad with grief, right before his very eyes. His parents call to inform him that they are going to die. And he steps outside to find Martial Law on the streets.

"The Days and Months We Were First Born- The Unraveling" is book one of Martin's epic tale of survival. At times funny, at times heartbreaking, and at times action packed, this book will take the reader on an unforgettable journey.

Great Idea - but went to Smashwords & there isn't any indication of the Japanese Red Cross donation - is there another link I've missed , or does it just go through on the normal purchase procedure

CHunter_Author · 03-23-2011, 09:17 PM

Check out my website. You'll see a link to the organization there. This is all my effort here. I tally the sales at the end of the month and make the donation. After the donation, the amount, and whatever proof i can provide will be posted on my website.

There has been a modification to my drive. The price of the donation is now $2 per book sold between today and tomorrow.

CHunter_Author · 04-03-2011, 05:36 PM

Thank you to everyone who participated in the drive. The donation to the Japanese Red Cross Society was made earlier today. Every little bit helps, and we contributed ours.

To celebrate the move to Amazon, my book will go on sale for the rock-bottom price of .99 for the first 100 books sold via the Kindle Store. That's 67% off the regular price. Be among the first to take advantage of this special offer. "The Days and Months We Were First Born- The Unraveling" has been a fan favorite so far over at Smashwords (where it is also .99). It has received rave reviews. And for less than the cost of a burger off a value menu, you can judge for yourself. Also, be sure to check out my latest blog entry: It will give the reader a good insight as to where the author is coming from.

Thank you in advance,

Review by: Kathleen Supove on Mar. 29, 2011 :
I already read this book before buying (my husband's copy!) Want to support this author's work, though, and spread the word.

This was a riveting book. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. The author really thought about these characters and what their life would be like in this future. So looking forward to the next part. I think this young writer is really a major talent, bravo!!

i thought this book was fantastic, a page turner in the most literal sense. the story is taut and original, and the author has a distinctive style and a keen ear for dialogue. at times very funny, and at others very moving. highly recommended.

Review by: cecila williams on Jan. 15, 2011 :
This is an action packed book. Each chapter presents a new and exciting twist, keeping you on edge and wondering what is going to happen next. Although a work of fiction, there were many inferences that can be applied to our life today. I am suprised that this book is so reasonably priced.
