There's always the possibility of Publish On Demand(POD) through http://www.lulu.com or similar services?
I've been running out of material to read lately so nice I found this will need to give them a go... |

Just finished The Palmyra Impact. What I found interesting was that it was a different type of book than The Ark, but still kept me up at night (and apparently talking to my husband in my sleep about it). Way to go Boyd!

Download them now so they will be ready to load once your 505 arrives.
I have finished The Ark and am 50% through The Adamas Blueprint. These are really good books. |

Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words and for leaving me such great reviews on Amazon. I really appreciate it.
I don't think Lulu.com or other publish-on-demand services are right for me because I don't really want the hassle of publishing myself (on Kindle and my web site, it's relatively easy), plus POD books typically end up costing $15 or more for a paperback which seems way too high. I think they'll stay ebooks for now. Cheers, Boyd |

Boyd, I just finished reading all three and I really enjoyed them just as much as (probably more than) what passes as popular fiction. As a diving archaeologist, I found some minor things slightly objectionable , but I got over those quickly because the stories are just that good. I'm impressed that you've improved with each book, instead of writing the same story over again, something that some successful novelists tend to do. I wish you success and look forward to your next novels.

Yes, I admit to taking a few creative liberties in my stories, but they are mostly of the improbable kind, rarely the impossible kind, although I'll leave it up to Mythbusters to confirm or bust the crazier ones (I'm a certified scuba diver myself, so I tried to make the underwater scenes this side of plausible). Think about when a friend tells you a story about something that actually happened to them. If your reaction is "Oh, really," the story was probably mildly interesting about something rather mundane. But if your reaction was "No way!", then it was probably an awesome story about something really improbable. Those are the ones I want to tell. Quote:

It was very nice. I cut this part to share... "Boyd Morrison is outselling me on Kindle, doing the same thing I'm doing: good product, low price point. Even though Boyd has been blurbed by some major bestsellers, he hasn't gotten a print contract yet. I stress "yet" because eventually NY Publishing is going to see Boyd's success on Kindle and want a piece of it." He also acknowledged you on one of the threads.. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44600 ... "Several people have contacted me asking if I could make my free ebooks Kindle-ready. I had no idea what that meant, so I asked a Kindle-savvy author, Boyd Morrison www.BoydMorrison.com, and he led me in the right direction. Incidentally, Boyd's books are Michael Crichton type techno-thrillers and are very good, and very inexpensive on Kindle." I left a note to JA Konrath that it was a,"Nice write up about Boyd Morrison on your 5/24 blog post... also, the below .. (hint, hint ?) ... The offering of his (Boyd Morrison's) work in multiple formats also helped in his recognition. (This is an international forum and it was GREATLY appreciated.) .... Congratulations, Boyd, and thank you for sharing your work. Last edited by dreams; 05-25-2009 at 06:01 PM. Reason: added linky etc |
