My new book entitled "Solan"
I would like to formally announce that my new eBook entitled "Solan" has just been uploaded to both Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble. As long as no problems pop up, it will probably be available sometime today, probably by late afternoon.
Here's a little snippet.
Excerpt: “As we lie in bed together, grasping the straws of sanity, we discuss the hidden truth. It's the year 3014, approximately one thousand years since the incident. Wars are non-existent, and everywhere you look is a beautiful sight to behold. No apparent signs of pollution exist, an obvious courtesy, wink and nod to all creatures. As far as the eye can see, magically colorful fruit orchards bloom their fragrant gifts for all to share.”
Quick summary: Combining a futuristic utopia of wonder and intrigue, this mysterious story, filled with elements of love, friends, wonderment, humor, control, and heartache, is sure to both amaze and delight a wide variety of readers.
Anyway, I decided to begin the book in a rather descriptive way in order to set up the environment, and then as the book progresses, especially near the end, have the action increase. Although it is written in a rather old-school writing style which a lot of people may not be accustomed to, I felt doing so gave it the detailed presence that it needed in order to set the stage.
Although of shorter length, at $3.99 it is still 1/2 the price of a movie and will take you longer to read it, perhaps 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
If people buy it and like it, I did set it up for sequels. So, I guess we'll see how it all pans out.
Thanks to all of you for your support.
Sincerely,
Jonathon Jones
