Currently running book promo
And now...for a brief commercial interlude...
January Book Promo
You all know that writing is work and sometimes it’s hard work? Right?
While I like to share my created science fiction worlds with others, it is expensive to create a nice book. There’s the matter of my time — writing usually takes 1 to 3 months. Then there’s copy editing and typesetting — not cheap and don’t forget cover artwork and design! Then printing and distribution. And, of course, the biggest expense is marketing.
So, I sometimes participate in promos. This is one that I placed my “Pirates of the Asteroids” in. It’s an award-winning book, so a weekend spent reading it could be worthwhile. Plus, there are lots of other books in this promo.
Please click through to check the offerings! It will help greatly. Even if you don’t buy anything I still get credibility for your traffic.
Thanks,
Eric Martell
From the back cover:
Pirate space: beware!
All Adam wanted was his advanced degree and a girlfriend. What he got was betrayal, kicked out of University, and exiled to the Asteroid Belt.
The Asteroid Miners have just about had their fill of the oppressive Federal bureaucracy, and some of them are ready to take steps toward freedom.
Adam arrives just in time to find himself involved with a budding revolution. Unfortunately, he had been working on a physics degree, and it wasn’t as if there was a course of study on Practical Pirating offered at the University.
How does one become a pirate? Adam is about to figure it out.
This story is set against the background of the asteroid belt and is filled with a mixture of existing technology and new inventions. It is a near future, wild and woolly journey around the solar system that provides what every reader wants: entertainment, adventure, humor, tragedy, and a little romance.
