    Click the link that's in my signature (it's free).

    If you love vampires, werewolves, and witches, then you'll probably love this book. If you like Twilight, then you'll probably hate it.

    Amen, I'll read immediately, anything that would make a twilight fan cringe will make me happy.

    There's a new version up; just had to fix one small typo in the acknowledgements page at the end. It was bugging the crap out of me... ;__;

    That sounds very interesting. I will be sure to read it.

    I'm seeing a few errors in the book so far... and I'm only a couple pages it, it seems great though, if you could fix some of the typos, like 'are' instead of 'a' when it is supposed to be plural, or putting the 's' on the end of some plural words.

    Is it in stores? Reading novels on the computer makes my eyes hurt. @-@

    Unfortunately, no. It's a free ebook distribution thing. you could still download it and print it out though.

    I saw a few grammatical errors in the first page, but that doesn't matter.


    Im a bit amazed, actually, Tum. Not because you got it published or w/e, but because it's good.

    Im like drawn into the book.



    Nice man.

    So how did the publishing process go? What did you need to do? Curious.

    C:

    I found it during NaNoWriMo, when they said they were doing some kind of special partnership. While you regularly are only suppose to upload finished novels, NaNoWriMo users who were using the site got to update all month long to show off their process. So, once it was over, I took it down so I can edit and I pulled it back up earlier today when I was happy with it. I simply made an account, and then uploaded what I had. It goes through it's own editing process on the site, and will ship it off to different internet retailers so it can also be purchased there. It is a real, legit book. You can even charge people to buy it (I chose not to because I wanted to just share my first novel with others).

    Thanks. I didn't see it write to charge for this one, for many reasons. Plus, it'll get more people reading it.

    Oh wow tummer! Downloaded a pdf file of it and I'll try to read it when I have the time. That's really cool! Will there be a hard copy format in which you shall receive royalties or is this all remaining free?

    I think, for now, it's going to stay an independent e-book. I will try to get hard copy versions, but no real promises. There are further books in the work, some realistic fiction, and a few sequels to this one (which I have planed out, unlike a similar series that seemed to be making it up as it went along). I may charge on further installments, but it will only be $.99. Again, that's a big maybe. Book one is free after all, so it isn't fair to make future installments into the series worth money.

    Just kidding. Favourited to read later. If it's the opposite of Twilight, I like it already.

    Of course I did. Like I said, I'm glad everyone's been so accepting of adding me into this big community. Of course, in this book, it reveals a side that I don't normally show to people. Kyuk, kyuk, kyuk...

    Shouldn't you have tried to find a publisher who'd, y'know, actually publish it? So you can make money off of it?
