Parental Advisory

You’ll see a second story told in episodes in this blog within the note, but before I start on this, I think a little head-up message is in order. This is just to clear all you Nervous Parents out there:

I have rated this book for Teens over at LuLu, due to some violent scenes and strong language. I basically don’t use words that no eleven-year-old has heard in his life (and sometimes they’re aimed directly at him or her) and more often than not they’re not quite the Disney Version. It doesn’t get gratuitous, I might mind you, but I followed the rule of “If it happens in Reality, it happens in my writings.

In case you want a gauge to figure out the level of what’s in there, if you can handle Stephen King, then you’d probably yawn through those scenes.

The Book is Released!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Adam Packbell @ 7:42 am

Here’s how you can get it, and I have it available for sale and some venues you can get it for free.

Purchasing the Book

(Available from LuLu.com)

Paper Back Book: http://www.lulu.com/content/821305
E-Book: http://www.lulu.com/content/832450

Getting the Book Free

Some of you are asking me “Why should I pay for your book when you’re giving it for free?” I have three answers for this:

  1. If I hunt down everyone who does the Napster route, I’ll be turning myself in.
  2. Something in me flat out knows that some sites will put the E-Book up on their File Sharing, so I might as well beat them to it.
  3. Is how I do things myself, as a paying customer. If I like something well enough, like a Word Processor Program or that Venti Latte, I will pay for it even though I could get it for free. In fact, I might download a book from bittorrent, enjoy reading the book, and enjoy it so much that I bought the paper version over at Borders. I believe that a lot of you are the same way.

It’s a risk, I know. There’s a good chance all I’ll get is a bunch of luls, dust in my revenue, and some Radio Edit troll giving me trouble over at LuLu, but if I get enough sales to encourage making more books, it’ll be well worth the risk, and everyone who do will have my undying gratitude.
