@Harry

Thanks so much for the praise! I’ve got a collection of notes for a third final book to the “Flatline Series”. Your comment made me pull those notes out and start laying them into an outline. Hopefully, if I can find the time to get away from my programming tasks, I can tackle another book. : )

Ryan,

In a weekend I have managed to read all of your books via kindle… Great reads!!
and highly recommended to any sci-fi fan… Anything else in the works for the Flatline series??? Keep up the great reads… My only disappointment at this point is that you have nothing else out there for me to grab on my kindle…

Hello! I bought your book from amazon. I was reading it and a wii remote fell on my kindle breaking the screen. So I was worried I wouldn’t be able to finish it until my new one arrived. I thought I’d just say that its amazing that you give this book away as a free PDF. Due to your generosity I won’t have to wait a week and a half to finish this book, which I was thoroughly enjoying. I was almost done with it too.

Brother Somma,

Your pictures of Thylacosmilus on Flickr was very helpful to me today. I would love to share this link with you. You might find Mr. Anderson’s ideas interesting. Considering that you have similar notions vis-a-vis your work.

I get $1.35 if you buy the hardcopy of the book. I tried to make the E-book free through LuLu, but when I do, the link to download it disappears. My revenue for the download is $0.01 through lulu, so please reference the links in this post if you like it.

I’m really not interested in making money off this book. I’ve got other stuff I’m going to be putting online, also as Creative Commons works. I’ve realized being read is much more important to me than making a living off it. : )

Anonymous – Thanks for the compliment!

I highly recommend this book. I found it to be quite enjoyable both in the unique take on a common concept in science fiction and the engaging characterization. I look forward to the sequel!

Ryan,

I second Nick’s question. I also think it is fantastic that you finally released your novel and I look forward to reading it. I’ll make sure to mention it on twitter, myspace, facebook, and every other social outlet I come across.

P.S. Welcome to the age of the self-publisher. ;)

Do you get money if people buy the book?
