Hello Atlas! A renowned member of our community has written a book which is now officially complete and published! I recommend everyone check it out:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075W95L12/

I understand it's also available in the Apple Store and Barnes & Noble, and I have been told print copies will be available in just a couple of weeks!

Purple heart Bacon!

I should mention, using this occasion, that paperback should be released in about two weeks.

Cool.

Did I inspire you about some parts of the book ?

Uh, I don't want to make you sad but... I wanted to wait for a second book, since I felt it would've been too bold for first publication. I hope you understand.

My original idea was to include a character of a "womanizing" Congressman, who (quite literally) nailed every intern in Washington, and who battles restlessly with the House Committee on Rules for his right to insert as many newspaper articles on Austria politics into the congressional record as he wants to.

But such a great character deserved a separate book.

Just popping by to say it turned out the book needs some more proofreading and a revised kindle version will be released simultaneously with the paperback.

Thanks, BaconKing and Dr. Cynic, for helping me spot this Smiley

Well, it took a while, but an improved Part I is up online, as well as a brand-new Part II. Great thanks to Bacon and Dr. Cynic for catching errors in time.

Anxiously waiting for the paperback Smiley

I would prefer getting the paperback. Also, having the money to get the paperback.

I have an idea for the sequel. Maybe Jefferson Dent is a vampire?

You mean like Edwina Curry in Spitting Image?

I still only see Kindle on Amazon. I assume it needs some time to update.

Weird, I can see it just fine. The publisher warned me, though, Amazon might take time to display it to everyone.

It appears Google Books hat my book listed as "suspense", while on Scribd it figures as "Mystery, Thriller & Crime".

I keep telling people no, it's not a crime novel Tongue

Don't worry, my favorite author is misrepresented as a YA author because his books tend to not have curse words. I think mistaken identity in terms of genre is somewhat common.

At least I won't have that problem.
