Dude -
I'm Downloading now... Kindle-for-Mac reader first then my splurgy
$.99 book...
I'm sure I'm not the only one curious about the process (to date,
and in the future as it unfolds).
What did it take to get published this way?
Is there a paper-edition in the works (if you get enough digital
sales first)?
How did you discover this mechanism, was it obvious/well-publicized?
What is their deal? Is it like Apps where you get a significant
percentage?
If I think it is crap, can I ask for my $.49 (if that is your cut)
back?
Can I take it out in good Bourbon? Or Patio Bricks?

Dear FRIAM friends, colleagues, and acquaintances (you all
can envision the Venn diagram that places you in your particular
state-space):
Please join me in celebrating the fact that today I published
my first book.
Second Cousins is a science fiction novel, set in the
current day. From the "Dust Jacket":
Preface
24,000 years ago during the last ice age, what is now White
Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico was then a 1,600
square mile lake which geologists have named Lake Otero.
Gradually the weather became drier and warmer as the ice age
retreated, and the gypsum that had been dissolved in the lake
deposited out as the lake dried up, leaving the modern-day pure
white dunes of gypsum sand.
At the southern end of this range of dunes on what is now
part of the White Sands Missile Range, the sands have drifted,
exposing something that should not have been there.

Second Cousins is available as a Kindel e-book for the
ridiculously affordable price of $0.99. Here's the link to it:
Don't have a Kindle? No problem. If you really want to
splurge the 99 cents, Amazon has free Kindle apps for
practically any device. Check it out:
The first 100 people who request one will also receive a free
signed copy of the book cover. The cover art was done by the
marvelous Jenica Cruz, graphic artist extrordinaire!
Cheers!
