Wow, no one likes the cool header. Live and learn. No worries. I have an alternative header. Darker, more sinister. Muahahahaha. rabid I like it. I'm just saying you might wind up with problems if it is (or people think it is) from The Matrix. Well, is not from any movie, that I can tell. I only have a standard license. For movie stuff, I'd need an editorial license for the image. Officer geneous thought it was Petra from Ender's Game. SO, the fact that 2 people instantly identified the picture as possibly coming from copyrighted movies, regardless of it not being so, means that changing the picture is probably a good idea. rabid

Sorry kemosabe. Just trying to save you some grief. No no, I appreciate it. It IS why I posted the picture, to gain input. Trust me, after dealing with 800 critical comments on the manuscript, taking them like a man and improving myself through them, I strongly encourage criticism and observations. Pretty sure the TBs have to go through the same thing. rabid

Well. The Webpage is up. Keep in mind. I'm STILL working on it and that the FORUM is still under construction. (Still trying to figure out the headers and stuff. Pretty simple, but takes time.) www.jycalcano.comMy Line Editor just emailed me. She ... LOVED ... the book. I hope she isn't softening me up for a 'BUT' Talking to her tomorrow. Let's see what happens. rabid

Hey rabidbite, I checked out the website...nice! I think there are alot of people who can relate to being stuck in a soul draining job/career/life (including me) longing for things that once might have been and perhaps still could with a little courage. Your journey gives me hope.

Your journey gives me hope. I don't know if I'll make it, my friend. But, I'm going to keep paddling until I either find shore, or something drags me down. If something DOES pull me to the black depths, I'm going down swinging. Either way, its a heck of an adventure. rabid

I am SO stoked.
The Line Editor talked with me for an hour. She explained to me that I have a weakness with punctuation, and detailed where. That took 10 minutes. The other 50 minutes was her telling me why she super ultra, without equivocation, loved the book. She went out of her way to recommend it to her friends.
My jaw dropped.
I didn't think anyone would love it that much.
Now to incorporate the changes, proofread and get to publishing this biotch!

Let's see. Of course theres social media. Actually you might look around Reddit. There might be a few subreddits to check, like r/cyberpunk, and a few authoring subs. Amazon and google of course, both sell epubs for their readers. Will there be a print run? I personally want to get a paperback if available. Just ran into these on Amazon, too. www.amazon.com/Publishing-Books-First-Time-Author/lm/R3SCE5EYDU58YQ

Well, a bitter sweet day.
Today I wrote my very last Sci-fi/fantasy book review.
I can't write reviews on other people's works if I'm writing in the genre. At least, I can't do so if I haven't been invited to do so by the author.
Now to watch my ranking in Amazon Reviews drop like a rock. Oh well. Ces-la-vie.
