Eee.



My book is now available at Amazon for 4.99 USD or comparable prices internationally. [ebook only - you can get a free Kindle app for any device]

You can also check me out at alexsorel.com. My nom de plume is in honor of my favorite literary hero. Sort of hero anyway. :D I am thinking of posting essay-type stuff there, the more thoughtful, meandery stuff I used to post here. We shall see. I have a couple of ideas brewing.

Whoo, this has been a long time in the making! It's been consuming most of my free time and thought as well, but it's finally done, yay. I feel like I can breathe again!

My next project is a Cabin Pressure fic for Sundayduck for Fandom Trumps Hate. We've been batting ideas around and I'm excited to start writing for her. I haven't written Cabin Pressure in a long time.

Congrats, Alex! Alas, I don't have a Kindle, so we'll see if I can get a copy... but I'm so happy it's out there. And isn't it great having it done?

*hugs*

Aha! So that's what the photo was for! Downloading IMMEDIATELY.

ETA: for some reason, I feel no need to test the waters with a free sample as I usually do. ;^)

Congrats to your e-book! I'm drowning in printed books at the moment, but I'll try that Kindle app thing and read your story soon.

Many many congratulations to you!!! Can't wait to start reading.

Also, I might be wrong, but I didn't see a "submit" button for signing up for your mailing list on the site?

Awesome! I haven't been on LJ/DW for a long time, but occasionally I like checking in on people. And you published a book!
I just got a Kindle Fire for a present so as soon as I work through my backlog of library books, I am totally going to check this out! Hope it is doing well!
If you still need to promote, there are a lot of Facebook Groups that have promotion threads once a week or so.
