My maiden voyage as a sci-fi novelist

bwzwriter · 03-07-2013, 09:07 PM

Hey, thanks for coming on in! My first e-book is available at the Smashwords link below. I've been having a lot of fun with the e-book experience, and I'm looking forward to more. Thanks again for stopping in, and let me know what you think!

SYNOPSIS: Bob Downingson has woken up from a six-year-long nap. Captured and cloned by aliens, Bob has been rescued after humans defeated hostile alien invaders. Now, Bob returns to a world ― and a relationship ― that has been altered. And the government and militia personnel have shadowy interests both in him and the prisoner that could either change the world for the better ... or destroy it.

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the freebie.

Could I suggest that you let people know that it is unsuitable for children, and why, before they go to Smashwords to get the ebook?

Thanks for the head's-up, AlexBell. OK, my e-book is geared toward adults, although I wouldn't say it's overly graphic in any depictions of violence, and there's some sex that's referred to but not described in any sort of detail. Also, there's not an abundance of profanity. I'd describe it as a PG/PG-13-type book.

Hope that helps. Sorry for my lack of contrition on its appropriateness.

Thank you! It sounds interesting. I probably won't get to it for awhile as I'm currently editing my own book, and you know what that means! But your book will be in my top 5 to read during my next vacation.

Thanks, mbelec, hope you like it, and let me know what you think, good or bad. Yes, the editing process is a delight; be sure to let me know when your book's out.

Broken link now... Why isn't the book published anymore?

It seems to be at Amazon, now.

The Smashwords link still works for me. Of course I bought it before the change was made at Smashwords.
