Ok.  I already apologized in the past for future deeds that are now in the present.  (I'm not really sorry)
 
I finished it.  Some have asked when I would finally publish a book.  I'm not sure if they were asking out of anticipation or out of dread.  For those who wanted to know, my first novel, Reality Challenged, is now available on the Smashwords site.  Once it passes a manual format review in the next 2-3 weeks, it will be sent to Apple's iBook, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony and other eBook stores.  I've gone on record as saying that this is Book 1 of The Other Universes series, so I'll have to write more.
 
You only have yourselves to blame.  You asked me to finish it.  (I told you I'm not sorry...) 
 
I did not want to Spam you with a blatant sales pitch, but I wanted to answer those of you who have said you were interested in it.  If you're interested in taking a look, here's a link to the book's site.  https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/262469
 
I have a coupon code which I'm only sharing with the folks here on the Cakewalk forums for 25% off from now through December 25, 2012.  The coupon code is LU65U. 
 
In all seriousness, I wanted to thank my friends in the CoffeeHouse for your encouragement to finish the book.  There were many times when I didn't think I would ever get this done.  I appreciate your support very much.  Thank you.

DANG.... I just broke my Kindle screen this week. I will go buy a new one today.

This is really something Bubba. Writing a book is quite an accomplishment, in my book. You have officially left a mark on the world now!

Congratulations,

Julien

That's a fine achievement Bubba ,congratulations!. I only know one other person who's written and published a book, I knew it would be terrible, and it was. Yours, however will be splendid, in this I have every confidence.

Huge congrats to you Bubba. Is there any chance of this being published in non ebook format? I'd be interested in a signed copy. I can find somebody to sign it, I just need the hard copy. Randy

 Congratulations Bubba! I'll check it out.

Thank You!




BTW, I've enjoyed buying micro published books from here:

Maybe you can do something like that?






Congrats!


best regards,

Thanks, everyone! 

Jbow, I've left marks on the world before, but they were scrubbed off or vanished when the snow melted.

James, Mine may be splendidly terrible.  That's the risk you take with self-published books.

Randy, I'm transcribing it on post-it notes as fast as I can.  It may take a while.

Starise, I hope you like it. 

Mike, You're welcome!  I published on Smashwords because they make it easy to list the books in the major eBook stores and their fees are reasonable.  (Publishing didn't cost me anything.)  If they don't work for you, the book should be available in other stores within a few weeks.

This is good stuff.
 
It means I no longer have to go to the trouble of manually transcribing your forum posts.
 
No doubt I shall be emulating the perplexed look on your lady swimmer avatars' face, whilst reading.
 
Well at least that's what I'm hoping for from a Bubba read.
 
I shall prepare to be bemused amused...
 
Congratulations.

Thanks, JB!  I spend a great deal of time wearing that look.

Other's in the pool say it's rather creepy.

100,000 werds!!!
 
Man, that puts you right up there as top forum poster just from this one fred.
