"A Killer of Angels" is Out~

Rate: 42 Flag

The people foim CreatSpace have told me my book is ready to be sold. It's amazing how fast this turned out. Two years of writing it and they can now publish it in  a matter of hours. Anyway, if anyone is interested, the two places to get it (there will be a third way within 48 hours) are here:

 

https://www.createspace.com/3823347 on CreatSpace

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1475102852  for Amazon

 

Kindle   $2.99 

http://www.amazon.com/A-Killer-of-Angels-     ebook/dp/B007SH59PY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1334024332&sr=8-2 

 

 

I lowered the price as much as I could. They have to get their piece of the rock, of course, which is almost $5 off the top. I priced it at $8.89 and of this, I get a little over $2.50. I didn't write this to make money, I wrote it to be able to leave  some kind of  legacy. Also, to feed my ego I guess. I wanted to see if I could write a book and I did. 

Do not feel you have to order this book because we are friends. I know how the economy is and I am not planning on making any money with this book. I doubt I get my money back, which wasn't much anyway.  I wrote a page in the front of the book thanking everyone at OS. I said I could not name all the people who have helped me along the way, and I really can't.  Too many people corrected my grammar and typo's with PM's and comments, and I am so glad you did. 

So here it is. I have started another book that is sort of a dark comedy, I think, about two old grandpa's and a road trip. Two more years? I think not. I am not nursing another baby as I did for ''A Killer of Angels". But no matter what happens, I will write.  Thanks everyone~and to Diana of grafixtogo.com, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peace and Love to all~

Congratulations to you ScanMan!
2 old grandpas and a roadtrip? sounds interesting.
Congrats, buddy! Looks great!
I still can't get used to seeing my name on the cover. It's almost like it's someone with the same name, hah~Thanks guys~
Congratulations on the beautiful book! Now what are you going to put on your bio?
Blue, how about an ex-alcoholic, ex-drug addict, ex-sex addict, ex-cigarette smoker, and finally clear-headed after 30 years. Also, except for my friends on OS, I'm a hermit now and lovin' it. I'll leave the 'Night Life" to Willie Nelson, hah~
Outstanding, simply outstanding...a published author.....
Good for you scanner.
Awesome. I'm really happy for you. Congratulations.
Congrats again... I have questions... email later.

Thank you for sharing your great news with us, Kenny. I'm so happy for you and I'll be sure to post this on my FB page as well.
Thanks everybody. They say your first time is your best. I thought they meant sex, but this is better and lasts longer, hah~
Congratulations! Is this going to be available on Kindle?

This is beyond cool, scandude! I love the cover. I guess I need to get off my ass and do something with my book.
onislandtime, YES~it should be on Kindle within 48 hours, I hope. I'm trying to get around without paying CreatSpace $69 for it, hah~~
Congrats, Scanner, and I'm looking forward to reading it. You really know how to tell a story, and I can see you writing several more.

CreateSpace was remarkably easy to use, and fast - for me, less than two weeks from finished text to sales page. Diana turned my cover into a gem too - can't thank her and her talent enough.

Truest words in the post: "I didn't write this to make money." The kids flipping burgers at Mickey D's have a better chance of getting rich than we do! But next year, when you fill out your 1040, where it asks for your profession, you can put "Writer."
Cuss, that will be one of the proudest days of my life. I have wanted to write my entire life, and it took an accidental stumble into OS to make it happen. I owe this place a lot, even though I do bitch and moan at times, I love this place!
You didn't need to publish this book for me to think of you as a writer! I can't wait to read it! Congratulations!!!
Bravo, Kenny. Be sure to save all your paperwork for tax purposes - costs and profits. I'm taking a modest deduction this year from last year's dismal sales. Consider sending out a few promotional copies - local newspaper and bookstores. Some newspapers might review it and/or do an interview. The smaller, independent bookstores likely will host a signing for you. Good luck, Scanman. I'm putting my order in post haste!
Congratulations! This is an impressive feat.
Way, way cool.

The cover reminds me of an old Randy Newman song, "In Germany Before the War"
I just ordered it from Amazon. Will you sign it after I read it?
That would be too cool

Scanner, I am just so darn proud of you!

How absolutely wonderful!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratulations scanner! :-)
Sincere congrats. You done good.
RP, I would Love To~!~~
Hey! Congratulations!!!
Congrats so excited for you
I am so super proud and happy for you!!!!!!!!!
You did it! Proof exists! Very proud of you, Kenny.
Congrats, Scanner! I am happy for you. And secretly jealous of anyone who can understand the legalese of CreateSpace.
Now that there's an ISBN I'll get that request in and let you know. Fingers crossed.
Nice... Congratulations.. got success scanner

In all of America today there are very few true pioneering opportunities left to people. One of those possibilities is in the field of writing.

Put on yer coonskin cap and pull up yer keyboard, Mr. Pioneer!

Congratulations! So happy for you!
your literary evolution is exciting to read. congrats.
Congratulations Mr. Sibbett!
Several years ago you said you were going to write a book, and I remember you weren't well at the time. I told you then I knew you had the drive and potential to be a great storyteller. I am so proud today to read that your book is out. Way to realize your dream, and know that ANYTHING is possible. Proud to know a real author!
Good morning,Scanner..I did a Kindle for free..Go to Amazon,make an account,maybe give another email and uρload the book..simρle as that and free..Good luck again...I am working on getting myself a credit card..Maybe now you can send the book to agents,not only in USA but in UK too..I have searched it in Internet and some are working green-so good for us ...cause they acceρt the book through email..I saw a movie lately about a guy..was out of job with bills to ρay..tried to find a job..nothing..his talent was to write..so he wrote and send the book to agents..The result-after 30 rejections-was that they bought his book for almost 130.000 dollars and more came...Imagine..this could be your case..and why not;Βest wishes and thanks for the suρρort..Good luck!
I bought it yesterday.
Thanks everyone. It is so great the way everyone gets behind someone and helps them and gives them a pat on the back. OS made me write this book and I thank everyone and anyone who has ever stopped by. Thank you!
Way to go Scanner! It is a tremendous accomplishment to write a novel and now to have it out for the masses to read is really great. Best of luck with the sales. I'm looking forward to reading it. Will it be available on Nook?

I've been looking into Createspace for my wife who wrote a novel several years ago, but was rejected by agents and publishers, so it has languished in a drawer. Now, with self publishing really catching on, it allows writers to get their work out to readers without the middle man.
Alaska, it will be on Kindle today (I hope) and I have no idea if they make it available to others, but I will find out. Thanks buddy~
May you ride the wave and be on top of the world with this Book. Cheers and more. Bravo too!

I'm very proud of you, my friend. You truly deserve the success and I hope you achieve it. Please see my pm about getting a copy.

Scanner,

I read the first three chapters of your book on the Kindle free preview and I think it is outstanding. The story is very compelling and the writing is fast paced.

However, you need an editor to correct the little things like grammar, typos, etc. An example is you used partition and I think you meant petition. There were some spelling errors and other minor stuff. This should be an easy fix and will make the book more polished and help with sales. People looking to buy a book will be turned off with too many editing issues. Createspace has an editing service (it costs money) and there are other editing services. They will make it more polished. If you have a friend willing to go through it, they can clean it up for you. Its hard to edit your own stuff because you know what you want to say and you miss the easy stuff. I know, I do it all the time.

You've done the hard part and should be very proud. I can't wait to get my copy and finish it. I think it might give me nightmares. G is one fucked up little dude. I hope this isn't an autobiography.
Congrats! You're inspirational.
