Wherein I Blatantly Self-Promote

I've tried to restrain myself thus far, but it seems a shame, with all the hits I'm getting, not to wave my hands frantically and yell "Look at me! Check out my book!" at least once. So, consider yourselves warned - what follows is blatant self-promotion.

If you're a fan of cyberpunk, science fiction or thrillers feel free to check out my novel, Blurred Line. I published the book with a POD company back in November 2004 and then, after forming my own company, republished it this past June. Since I own the company, I'm able to offer up the novel completely free of charge in electronic format for everyone to read. All you have to do is click on the last link under the "Buy Blurred Line" heading on your right. The book has had some positive reviews (including one from Writer's Digest) which you can check out by heading over to www.blurredline.com and click on the "reviews" tab.

If you happen to be a science fiction writer and have an interest in publishing with a POD company, you might want to have a look at Apodis Publishing or, at the very least, check out the company's press release for more info. Also, I'm currently accepting submissions for a short story anthology (and yes, I pay) so if you're into that, you can check out the FAQ on the website.

Alright, I'm finished. Won't happen again. Promise.

Hey I think you're entitled since you've written a novel AND started a company and are studying full-time. :)

Why won't it happen again? this is exactly the sort of thing that would cause me to come back and check your blog out on a regular basis. ;)

I have so much to say about this one little post:
1. I had no idea you wrote a book - wow that's fantastic
2. I had no idea you published it - even more fantastic
3. POD publishing nonetheless - cool
4. Started your own company - quite an accomplishment

For all these reasons, you should definitely self promote more often.
I know how you feel about this, I'm the same way. I don't like self promoting, I feel very funny and awkward about this. But it's so important. Congrats on the first step, keep'em coming.
