No more delays. No more setbacks. No more excuses!

My long awaited first novel is officially on sale at my e-store as of today (just click on the image below). You'll also be able to order it through Amazon.com in about two weeks. If you've enjoyed my work here on Livejournal over the last five years (or so) then you'll really dig this. It's my homage to the Spaghetti Westerns, Men's Adventure magazines and Midnight Movies of the late 70s/early 80s that have inspired my imagination since I was just a kid.

I sincerely hope you'll have as much fun reading it as I did writing it... and if you do, please help spread the word.

Thank you and enjoy!

I bought one! Slow shipping is slow, though, so won't have it in until the end of the month. Still, zooper-excited.

Much obliged, brother... and I'll be more than happy to autograph it for you (which will be another first for me) when next we meet. Which I hope is sooner than later:)

went through all the ordering BS and found out my credit card only had $14 left on it. So I will order tomorrow when the money I just put on the credit card goes through.

Waiting til the end of April for it to ship will suck but it will be a nice birthday time surprise.

Congrats!

Thank you Oni, really appreciate the effort (and sorry for the ordering BS). As I've mentioned elsewhere today this is a real dream come true for me and I couldn't be happier. Receiving the well wishes and congratulations from my friends and family makes it even more so.

Good news on my end - as far as I know I'm not scheduled to work this month (much) - so I think I'll finally be able to attend one of these legendary Ritual parties I've heard so much about;)

Congratulations!

I've sometimes wondered - do you think it'd be more beneficial for ~you~ to order through Amazon, which I assume would mean less of a cut-per-book, but maybe that would help promote it in rankings and get it in front of more eyeballs?

Thank you, Sir.

Yes indeed ordering through Amazon would be a big boost, because it would show up under their 'People who ordered this also ordered...' feature. However, due to tech issues on Amazon/Createspace's end the book won't be available for sale over there for another two weeks. So if you'd like to wait until then I'm certainly down.

Much obliged for the thought by the way and I'm really hoping you'll dig it when you get one.

Noted! I'll spread the word and look forward to it.

As soon as it hits Amazon it is the new number one thing on my wish list. (I am assuming that it will make for better sales stats if I buy it through them.) I should be able to get it in time for my birthday at the end of the month. I want to thank you for delaying the release to coincide with my aging. :-)

So, will I be able to sweet talk you into autographing it for me?

I am so EXCITED!!

But of course, madame:)

Thank you, I'm very excited as well (actually at this hour I'm on the verge of collapse but such is the perils of self-publishing).

I'll post its availability on Amazon once things clear up on their end.
