That's one of the most beautiful things about this job, you never know who's out there reading. James Aach has written a novel that takes an insider look at an awe-inspiring nuclear power plant disaster, called Rad Decision. I enjoyed the first couple chapters, and I appreciated his undoubtedly difficult decision to publish on the Internet. Check him out...
For anybody else considering publishing novels online, I refer you to Writing on Writing by the science fiction writer and Internet community-builder, John Scalzi:
"The Internet certainly creates and fosters a forum for amateurs -- people who make things up for the fun of it and who don't particularly care whether they get paid for it or not. I'm certainly part of that myself; I used it to my advantage with Agent to the Stars, and I've also posted music I've made online, and I never expect to be paid for that. People like playing and sampling and having fun: The Web is one big amateur sandbox."
Rad Decision is now available in paperback at online retailers. I encourage anyone who's enjoyed it to leave a review at one of these sites. The blog is still online as well, since I'm foregoing royalties from the book anyway.
Also, as someone who provided online support, I'm happy to provide you with a gift certificate for a copy. Just send me an e-mail to prompt me. jimaach@comcast.net
