Some samples of my book arrived today from PABD. Don't I look happy? Its awesome. It'll go on sale in a couple of weeks. The art is by MacNN member mikellanes and published by another MacNN member. We rock.

Congrats, Gorilla.
So, are you going to tell us what it's about? Genre? Whether the characters are based on MacNNers?

My mom's a writer and I can attest to the fact that there's nothing like getting copies of your brand new book, with your name o the cover and everything.

Congrats!

Nice! Good to see the art worked for you, where can we buy a copy?

There are other theads about the book, describing it and how the art got to be what it is. I just don't want to do the search and linking.

Anyway, AWESOME !

How many books did you actually get? After they sent copies to the national libraries.

I got nine, which is cool. For anyone curious, the book is a retelling of the New Testament set in the fantasy land of Acre. Its fairly heavy on religion and may not appeal to everyone.

As for you mikellanes, you get a copy free since you did the cover art

I'll post details on where to buy it in a day or two.
