My "official" lauch date is May 1, but my book is now available here. UPDATE: Also on Amazon.com.

My avatar is the front cover. :D

The book is a paranormal boy-meets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-gets-girl. I categorized it as "Christian Fiction" to give fair warning (-- but my Dad, who is not a born-again, said nothing about it bothered him and he enjoyed it. Okay, he IS my Dad, but he would have said something if he found it offensive or heavy-handed).

I am working on the e-book, for those so inclined. (Since I live overseas I don't even have a copy yet!) :roll:

(Btw, if you have ever considered publishing a book, CreateSpace is great. They are very helpful and it is actually possible to do the whole thing for free. I knew I didn't have the time or resources to find an agent or publisher or do the marketing... so this put the project in reach for me.)

Congratulations on your publication!

I've been an aspiring writer for years, even got a couple of novels finished (they suck), so it's always nice to see someone achieve the goal of getting a book published! :)

Akasri, CreateSpace is a print-on-demand self-publisher. Tweak one till you feel it no longer sucks, then check it out.

Honestly, the hardest part of putting the book out there was deciding I had something worth sharing and going for it. Even then my heart went up and down as I wondered it I was making a fool of myself... But now that it's out, it's out there. It's part of who I am, like it or not.
