My Book

[Vinayaka]

Happy New Year. My new book is now available on Kindle, as of an hour or so ago. Search for 'Adventures of the Imaginary Brothers' on Amazon.

My writing has improved (God, I hope so) in 20 years since I self-published 3 books. Amazon Kindle makes it easier, although I wasn't able to do all the formatting myself. 20 years ago Print on Demand wasn't a thing either.

The premise of the book is that a young boy with an incredibly vivid imagination has two imaginary friends, and the three of them go on adventures. They talk him into stuff he probably shouldn't do.

My target audience was for upper elementary, smarter kids, who enjoyed that sort of thing when I taught. Of course I'm hopeful a few adults might enjoy it too.

I tried to make it as cheap as I could, but Amazon has a limit. (It's 60 000 words.)

I'll answer questions about it here. Hope someone enjoys it.

Congrats on the achievement. I'll put in on my list of "to reads..."

Thank you Vinayaka; I have purchased it.

"Won't someone think of the kids?"

I will have to miss out because I have no device on which I can download Kindle...
I am not techy at all. I have a cell phone but only use it to make or receive calls when I am not home.
I really envy people like you who are creative and can write stories and novels, as I have no such abilities.

The owner of Planet Baha’i who I posted to for many years before he closed his forum is an author of many books of fiction.

The paperback version will be out in about 3 days, they have to 'review' it, whatever that means.

And no, that's not me.
Just a gif I found on the internet.

 

[Sunstone]

So glad to hear the news! Congratulations! You go!

Thank you. I coulda sworn that was you. Those teeth appear to have haggis stains on them.

Thank you. It took me some time to get over that quote in your book. 'Shy writers die.' It's tough, but the good thing is that with the amount of money one puts in, in this new technology it works out to be about 15% of what I had to put out previously, 20 years ago.

Alas, I'm neither that spry nor that handsome.

It's not easy, is it?

 

[Sunstone]

They're just checking it out to make sure it 'meets their standards'. Mostly that means it more or less has the feel and appearance of professional writing. You'll glide though it.

 

[Vinayaka]

Thank goodness I don't feel like marketing much, nor is there any need to. The investment is minimal, and frankly, I'm really not in it to be successful. I'm happy for you that you're getting quite a lot of positive feedback. That really does help.

In my high school there was a very pretty girl, one of my wife's best friends, who was totally convinced she was ugly. It destroyed her life, in several ways. (I thought you'd relate to that idea some.)

I read the first chapter.

I had imaginary friends when I was little, but they weren't nearly as sophisticated.

However, as an adult, whether it's because of being schizophrenic or since I was Raelian or both, I have had and probably always will have the ability to communicate with voices.

I like your book.

Thank you. That means something. But now I have a question related to schizophrenia, which I'm rather unfamiliar with. Did you at all have the sense that this book might turn into a full blown expose (adultish) /testimony of that, or did you just read it as a kid with a vivid sometimes goofy (Feather) imagination? I'd had that thought, and it's not all that pleasant. My intent is only to entertain, not make hidden social commentary.

I thought it was just going to be about imaginary friends / imagination / pretend.
