Long time lurker but first time posting because now i have something worth sharing :D
Always wanted to be an Author and now that I can say I am, I'm both excited and terrified.
The chances of being able to do this as a full time career are so slim it's depressing and chances are this will be downvoted to hell, but what can I say but bring it on! I haven't given up yet and I don't plan to today.
Front cover and blurb for anyone interested.
It's available from amazon on ebook and paperback as well as from the publisher's website http://www.austinmacauley.com/book/no-name-online

Terrible cat tax which took longer for me to make than I'm willing to admit. I'm allergic so I can't have my own but, hey send pictures of cats.
Also if there's enough interest I'm willing to send a signed copy to someone in the comments (free).

Congrats, but this is advertising since you're literally selling something. We live in an Imgur with RULES, damnit!

@op congrats & best of luck. I'm amazed Scholastic didn't pick you up!

probably still no income, but pretty neat
HMPDharma
Haha income.... I'm already out of pocket far more than i'd like.

Congrats! It's always a little terrifying putting something you created out into the world, but be proud you took the chance to do it.
HMPDharma
Thanks a lot. I'm shivering just reading the comments haha.

Nice. And I've just finished watching a one hour instruction video on being a chauffeur as "research" for my writing. Not procrastinating...
HMPDharma
It's not procrastination! Everything and anything you learn can be used. Good luck yourself.

Good job in finishing what you started, wish you all the best and success. Would love to read a copy. Do you have EU distribution in place?
HMPDharma
Thanks! It's available online and should be able to send in the EU but the publisher is based in the UK so postage is a bit pricey.
vlej
oh that's fine. being a .com I assumed it was american. shipping within the EU is fine ^^

You're going to get nailed for running off a similar premise as Ready Player One.
HMPDharma
Honestly I wrote it before i knew what Ready Player One was, but hey, no two stories are the same.
krugle
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing you of stealing the idea. I'm just saying that right now people will compare it 1/2

Especially with the movie out right now, I'd suggest in about 6-12 month down the line you promote the hell out of it. 2/2
