Dang, had I known I would have borrowed first then bought (prime member), but i no longer see anyway to borrow it now that I own it.

Started reading last night, pretty good read so far, certainly didn't see the chapter 10 Wendy scene coming.   :lol
Spoiler that yo!

As far as self published authors go, look up John Locke if you haven't already heard of him.

Now that's a self-published author's success story.

Paperback is now available on Amazon.  They haven't linked it to the Kindle version yet (should be soon) so just going to my author page will get you links to both until they are merged.  Also available direct through Createspace, which does net me a much larger royalty (although shipping is slower and no Prime). 

Sales are decent as far as I can tell, about 150 units of the eBook sold so far, and since maybe only half of those would be from friends, family, and people I have reached on Facebook or here, I am pretty amazed.  It's a pretty good feeling that people are coming across my book and buying it.

Createspace link to paperback: https://www.createspace.com/5248100

Thanks to all who have supported me by reading it!  I am diligently working on the sequel.
