Folks, I have a request/proposition. I am a newly published author (34, Atlanta) of a science-fiction novel called "Pendulum." It has been out since 12/21/03 and has sold around 100 copies so far (it is available only online for the moment). When I sell 500 on my own, the publisher (Iuniverse) will begin taking me around to traditional publishers to get my book in stores. The request is that anyone reading this e-mail click on the link below and purchase a copy of my book. The proposition is that I will at the very least carry on a posting thread on this site to discuss various aspects of the book, and I will autograph the book for anyone in the Atlanta area (or willing to pay postage to ship it to me). Further, if you like the book and recommend it, I ask that you please post a review at the link below and/or pass the word on. Thanks very much for your consideration and for any future orders. BTW, there is a description of the book at the link. :O)
