#Book Release! Well, here goes: First novel release! I'm announcing in pubnix space, on gopher, and here, before I hit the web. Because these spaces are better, and mean more to me :) And now, the book: ##Title: Professor Spindlebrock's Little Blue Book of Traveling Spells ##Target: College age & older (though, it's quite suitable for younger crowds, content wise.) ##Genre: Mystery (of the cozy persuasion), Fantasy (mildly speaking) ##Format: Paperback and ebook. In paperback, 325 pages. ##ISBN: 978-1-7363739-0-3 ##Library of Congress Control Number: 2020925564 ##Release: Dec 2020 / Jan 2021 On the cover (marketing blurb): > Thomas Martin's life was devolving from dreary to dreadful. > Failure in his chosen career path, coupled with overwhelming > personal loss, threatened to drive him to the brink of despair. At > his lowest point, fate interceded in the form of a book--Professor > Spindlebrock's Little Blue Book of Traveling Spells. > Convinced at first that the book is a joke, Thomas is persuaded to > think otherwise when he inadvertently conjures up a bit of real > magic. Burning with curiosity, he sets out to locate the author of > this strange and powerful volume; and ends up tangled in an > international web of mystery. With lives on the line, will he be > able to help the professor before it's too late, or will his own > latent powers mark him as the next victim? As my first book, this represents a fair amount of work and worry, but also pleasure. I've wanted to write fiction since I understood what a career was. Better late than never! I'll follow-up with a link to the evil corporation Amazon page, for anyone interested, but I'll also send a free digital copy to anyone here, on gopher, or in pubnix space. Be well, and thanks for reading!
