Just got word, my book is available online

[Charlieje (imported)]

Once again I am probably a bit premature, but I got word today that my book is available for purchase online. Unfortunately I had to change the title for a lot of publication and copywrite reasons. The new title is "The Commitment." The good news is, at least in my opinion, the cover is GREAT!

I have made available in both e-book format and printed paperback, at the following prices:

e-book: 6.95

Paperback: 16.50

A preview of the book, look at the cover, a little author info etc, can be viewed at the following site:

I do not have ISBN's yet, but I understand when it becomes available on Amazon etc the price will be higher.

I promised I would begin posting it to EA, but I have to check with the powers that be first because there is no castration content... well almost none. There is one very oblique reference, but that is all.

My primary purpose for making this post is to thank everyone who has ever posted a review of my writing, on this website. Without your encouragement I would never have made the effort.

I have not been online very much lately because I have been editing, reviewing, etc. etc like a madman. I am very close to submitting the "sanitized" version of Andy for publication.

Once again, THANK YOU to everyone on this board who has ever offered any encouragement. You guys and gals are AWESOME!

Charlie,

I’ve got my order in. I’m looking forward to a great read. I hope you get “Andy” ready for publication soon. I’ll be one of your first customers for that one too. I always look forward to anything that you write.

Many congratulations, Charlieje!

I really look forward to reading your book, just as I do when you post your magnificent work at eunuch.org.

I presume the retailer will post the tome across the Atlantic?

Thanks to all for your comments. It has been a busy few months because I opted to do all the editing and proofreading myself, and now the publisher is working on press releases, etc.

Pueros, I am sure they will send you a copy across the pond, but I have no idea at what cost. It is available from the publisher in ebook format (Adobe Acrobat PDF) at a much lower cost, so unless you particularly want a bound copy in your hand, that is another option.

I had also committed to everyone on the Archive that I would post it once the publishing fury died down, and have posted the first chapter yesterday. Just follow the link in Paolo's post to see it there.

Again, thanks to all the wonderful authors here and all other supporters - without your encouragement and support I never would have made the effort after the first failure.

Congratulations-That is great news, and now many other people will get to enjoy your stories, those who are intimidated by the word eunuch. I often think of this as a writing workshop, a place to test the waters of ideas, or as I have done try to learn the craft of writing. Although I have to say, the quality of many writers here is better than some stuff out there getting published. Now you get to join the rank and file of the published. That is a great accomplishment, but one I am sure you will repeat many times.

You guys are so great! Thanks to all for the well wishes and support.

I am posting the book chapter by chapter - I don't want to swamp the guys here who do all the work.

Frankly I am a bit partial to the published version because I just noticed that some of the font changes and formatting got lost in the posting - my own fault because I did not take the trouble to put in all the editing tags for the EA... It's the same, but I think it loses a little something, but, well, I'm afraid I just don't have time right now to go through and add all the tags.

One way or the other, I am just pleased that it's getting read.
