UPDATE: This opportunity is closed. Thanks to everyone for their participation!
I’ve decided to sell a pre-release version of my newest book, and my first historical novel, the Amber Panels of Konigsberg for $30. I will only sell 30 copies. What I’m hoping to do is to give people a chance to help me catch some errors and/or add some input so I can complete the book by the end of July.
What $30 gets you:
1. Advance signed copy of book. You will encounter some errors, but that’s the point and the nature of this process. I am hoping next time I will be able to publish with a professional organization. I will describe how to submit errors when you purchase.
2. A complimentary copy of the final book when published. It should reach you sometime in August.
3. A credit in the final copy that includes your name in the book.
4. An opportunity to participate in the final writing process.
5. The satisfaction that you’ve helped out my writing career.
6. Maybe it will be a collector’s item someday!?!
I will be offering the same deal to people after my presentations on Friday and Saturday at the Bantam Fest.
Reviews so far:
Only one person, Bill Foshay, has read the book in it’s current form. Here’s what he had to say about it:
Amber panels……..never would have picked up such a book in a bookstore…..skimmed thru it backwards and said…this is going to be boring. Not my cup of tea.
Then.. I got bored and needed to read something…so I started in. Holy historical novel, batman, you have a HIT. Could NOT put it down. Another home run. Better than your last, which was great. I loved how you got jeeps involved.
My english is not that good so I’m helpless here but congrats. I’m sure it will be a best seller. Good work Dave.
Well, as long as you’ve got jeeps involved, I’m in! I really liked Finding Virginia; read your adventures on eWillys everyday; and I’ve got just enough OCD to be helpful finding errors. Let me know if I’m one of the first 30 and I’ll get on Paypal to make it official.
