So, about that project I was telling you about previously – it’s the manuscript I’ve been working on for the past decade or so.
Just finished it.
Well, more accurately, I finished it, an editor’s okay-ed it, a copy-editor’s read it and my wife thinks it’s good. It’s called The Men Made of Stone and I put it up on Amazon as a Kindle ebook a month ago just to test a few things out and now I think it’s ready for everyone.
It’s a crime drama, which I wrote in a radically different style than I have this blog or anything else for that matter. It’s the story of two ambitious men named C and Jack that climb up opposite sides of Chinatown organized crime – but nothing in that world is ever as it seems.
The cast of characters includes Danny the Priest – who never kills on a Sunday – and Trigger, Cloudy, and Slim Grey, who have no such qualms.
You can read a sample of it online by clicking here.
And here’s my fancy-shmancy Amazon Author’s Page.
Now, while you could buy a copy now, I’ve kept the price “high”- at $2.99 – so that I could get some marketing things in place and also potentially get some good reviews.
Note that if you’re an Amazon Prime reader, you can download it now for free.
However, if you’re not, I’m giving it away on the 20th and 21st and then dropping the price to $0.99 on the 24th because I believe – honestly – that for writers, the problem isn’t piracy, it’s obscurity.
Put another way, Writers write to be read.
Of course, you could buy it now to get started but really, we both know that I’d just blow that money on rum and chili. In that order.
It’s only available for the Kindle and Kindle app for now (sorry) but I’m going to be publishing it for Nook and the Apple store on April 21st. There are a whole buncha reasons why.
In any case, that’s all for now. I’ll drop you another reminder later on or so.
