The Wiz is a published author!
Attention all online surfers! The Wiz is riding the wave of the future. One of his books (he has written three) has been published online - and it is now available world-wide for downloading!
The book is "Roadkill", and the author is John Rasor - as you can plainly see from the book's cover *BIG SMILE*:
Now, if you want to do us a HUGE favor - and give The Wiz his best holiday present ever - please consider downloading his book from the publisher's site
His book is also available through
www.amazon.com in their "Kindle" section. Is this exciting, or WHAT???The difference is that if you download it from the publisher, The Wiz gets half the price of each download (which is $7.99); but if you download it from amazon or someplace else, The Wiz only gets half of what the publisher gets after amazon (or whoever) has taken their "cut".
Chatty could go on indefinitely about the excitement that this had generated in our house - but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Chatty wants you to READ THIS BOOK! Because truly, even if the Wiz had not written it, she would still have read it. It is an excellent book - though not for the faint-hearted. It is a thriller - and it delivers!
Please understand that this is not a "vanity press" type of thing - The Wiz paid nothing to get it published. But the publisher believes in him, and has found his book worthy of publication. If you want to read the article The Wiz wrote about this whole process, please check it out at http://hubpages.com/hub/My-New-E-Book
www.ireadiwrite.com is a small publishing company in Canada, established about a year ago. The Wiz is their 40th published author. They believe that e-books are the future, and think that the market will probably grow exponentially in the next 24 months. However, they are also considering expanding to print publishing as well in the coming months.
So, when you have a moment, give it a shot - at least go to the publisher's site
If you aren't hooked after reading the first chapter - Chatty will be surprised.
Once again - to friends and family who read Chatty's blog - downloading his book (and telling him that you did) would be the very best Christmas present you could give the Wiz. Chatty's just sayin'...
Later, alligators!
CONGRATULATIONS to The Wiz!
I can't quite figure out how to download an entire book to my PC. Won't that eat up a lot of memory? Is it something that can be downloaded to a friend's Kindle?

PS: I read the bit on that link and it looks like a fascinating read! He sure begins his book with a big hook!

Downloading a book to your computer isn't very complicated - I do it all the time, and it only takes a couple of minutes. It also doesn't take up much space at all, because it is just text - and text files are not very big. For instance, the new Kindles will hold FIFTEEN HUNDRED books at one time - and they don't have a memory that comes even close to an average computer! So, thanks a million for your enthusiasm, and I really hope you will download the entire book. Oh, and certainly you could download it to another person's Kindle - but it isn't really necessary...you definitely don't need a Kindle to read it - just a computer ; ) And, I just checked, and the entire book in .pdf format (which is basically how it will download) is only 2.3 MB. You could also download it to a CD and have room left over for a couple hundred more books, because most CDs have a capacity of between 700 and 800 MB ; )
