Great news
After a year and a half of trying to sell my novel (or at least get an agent interested), I’ve decided to publish it as an ebook through Smashwords. They have the largest, most reputable ebook operation going.
You could read my book on Kindle, your iPhone and about a dozen other devices—all for a very low price.
