My First Sci-Fi book is out: Outside Protocols
« on: August 31, 2012, 06:06:53 pm »
Howdy all, very excited that I finally got my first fiction book published this morning. I have been writing technical manuals for years, but I finally took the time and brain power to put out my first Sci-Fi book. Actually I have already written the second one and its at the editor. The third one is 1/3rd done.

But today is the first day of the first publication of my first fiction. I put in some (what I thought) were interesting parts to the book. There is a MMO in the series and some game time can be read. Also the book leans a bit more towards the techy types as the theme of the first book tells you how an IT staff finds a problem and has to fix it in their own nerdy way. Most anyone in IT might enjoy my look at how we think.
 
Right now it is in LuLu in eBook and Real-book form. Kindle form across the world takes a week or 10 (depending on Amazons speed). The eBook hitting all the different stores takes about 3 weeks and the book going to all the stores takes about 5 weeks. Everything is started and I will update this thread when I know the book has reached those parts.
 
Book 1 - Outside Protocols
Book 2 - Outside Orbit

Very nice, huge grats to you! At 112 pages in the large-format paperback version it sounds like a none-too-quick read (speed readers not included) and the description sounds pretty interesting.

It looks like your tech manuals are in-depth manuals on a Trend Micro products. Do you work for them in some capacity?

Oh dear!   Am I going to have to break my Golden Rule and spend more than 99p on a Kindle book?
