Default I wrote a book

You might have wondered where I was recently. I didn't fall out of love with my beautiful Lola or the cool people here...no way! I have just been spending just about every minute of my spare time writing a novel.

It is done and available via Kindle only right now. My paperback proof is on order and once it is proof-read I will green-light it and it will be available on demand.

The book is called Ice Cats and is about a guy who builds a women's hockey team that plays in the professional minor leagues against all guy teams. He searches high and low and finds women from all sorts of different sports and disciplines.

Ice Cats

I would appreciate if anyone would help support the cause and if you don't read maybe recommend to someone who does. I don't make a lot on the thing but I am also donating proceeds to women's hockey teams on a tiered scale. Bascially the more books I sell the more teams I will donate to.

Just a thought, but have you considered getting some sort of deal with Kobo? They are the Canadian equivalent of the Nook, and with the subject being hockey I am sure that you would do fairly well selling to Canadians.

Anyways, good luck in your endeavours.

I'll look into that, I didn't know there was such a thing. Right now it is exclusive with Kindle because of the Kindle select program but I can drop out of that at any time.

I don't read books of any kind, so I'm afraid I won't peep your book but I do wish you luck! Also it's good to see you post again.

Oddly enough, neither do I.

I probably will start though. Apparently the self-publishing world is "scratch my back and I will scratch yours" so you can get reviews and stuff so I am starting to read some other books because of that.

Not that I don't enjoy reading but since I got off the ship I haven't really found the time. Maybe I should put down the internet more and read.

My thing is that I can't enjoy reading at all. I've tried numerous times with various genres of books to no avail thus far.

I'm not an avid reader, but my aunt is and she loves hockey. So I'll point it out to her. (: if you get paperbacks a signed copy might be cool. Glad you and Lola are still going strong.

You should try this book: Amazon.com: Revelation Range: Act I of a Post Apocalyptic Genesis (9780983197003): Brian Ranzoni: Books. Not just because my friend's brother wrote it, but because it's actually pretty decent.
