Contrast's Novel is Out!!

#1

Post by Contrast »

Hi, guys! My novel has been released and is available for purchase on my Author's Webpage, Amazon, and Barnes&Noble.
I'd go into more details, but as you all know, I'm apprehensive about revealing my true identity to anybody who might be lurking around, so I followed Gray's advice and added a link to my official Author's Webpage (made by my publisher) to my profile. Since only fellow Zafur members can view profiles, I feel I can share this proud moment in my life with all of you without fear of my furriness coming out and hurting sales.
If any of you do decide to buy my book, feel free to post about it here (just don't compromise my secret identity, okay?). You can even rate it on Amazon and write a review or post your comments, if you're so inclined.
Thanks. :)

No Kindle Edition? That sucks. I prefer not to buy dead-tree editions unless I really have to. Easier to carry around and to read, and my bookshelf won't then fall through my floor from the sheer weight of it :P

I asked the Distribution dudes about a Kindle edition, so I will get back to you guys as soon as I hear back from them.

@Xanduin: There are a few variations very similar to my title, but I don't see people getting confused by that since the Author names and blurbs are clearly visible.

@GC: Thank you! Unfortunately, it is unlikely that my book will show up for sale down here. (Unless it does really well.)

Congratulations! A novel is quite an achievement. It's also got a pretty cool cover.

On the subject of Kindle and "dead tree" books, I really prefer actual books. I find them far more satisfying than reading on-line and a kindle on a table doesn't compare to the sense of pride and satisfaction of a nice, full bookshelf.

I just heard back from my publisher. Sometimes I think they're trying to make more money off of me than my book. They say turning it into an E-book will cost me $400. X_X
That might take a while... >_>

Oh yeah, an E-book version will cost $9,99.
