That's what I'm hopin' for. ;)

Just finished these 3. Of the lot of them "The List" wins for me. Love the storyline and some fun characters there.

Props to you for the amount of research that went into all of them.

I finished Origin the other day and like it alot. I think it needde a little more character development but the idea was very unique and Bub was a captivating villian. I think it would be hard to market because it crosses genres but you'd think post Davinci code you could have added more back story and they would have run with it. They put out what looked like some awful crap to capitalize on Davinci Code and Origin was really good. Just my two cents.

The cool thing about the net is that these books will find readers until someone decides to print them. Or perhaps they'll never be published. But they'll still be read, which is the point of writing, right?

I finished Origin in one day because I just couldn't put it down! I can't believe Tor or Baen didn't pick that book up since your ending leaves it open to a good series.
Yes I did notice a few wrong words and typo's but that is to be expected and didn't detract my obsession to continue reading it until 1:30 a.m. !

I just started 'The List' :-)

I think you're on the right track by putting it on the Amazon Kindle Customer Discussion forum, make sure to hit Kindleboards and EBookGab also :D

I have read both books, "Origin" and "the List" on my Kindle, and I thought that they were rather good, well worth $2 and even possibly worth $10 (I wouldn't have been upset to have paid $10 although I wouldn't have bought them for $10, previously unknown author and all that). The advent of eBooks I think is going to be a revolution in book publishing. Hopefully, the days of waiting for a book to be published and shipped will be soon gone. There are many books out there that should be published in eBook form ("Memoirs of an Invisible Man" by WF Saint is one that springs to mind, it has been out of print for at least 20 years). I look forward to reading more of your books.
