So the latest project is an update of a more than 8-year-old project. That was when I thought I could write a short story.
I had gotten interested in computer security (still am), and thought of a story line that was related to that. It turns out that writing a story takes a lot of time, at least for me. But my idea was to ‘publish’ it on a web site, which was the start of this “Digital Choke” place. This is the first domain name I purchased; over the years I have had about 20 domain names that were related to ideas I had. Some went away for lack of interest, but others are still around.
So the 8 year old story was first published in about 2001. I guess that makes me an e-book pioneer. Although not successful, since it’s not really clear that more than a dozen people actually read the story.
Now that e-books are getting more popular, I decided I would continue the trend I started, and e-publish my story. Which is why you’ll find a new graphic and link over there on the right side that will allow you to purchase a Kindle e-book of the “Digital Choke” story. And it’s priced so that you can easily justify spending a grand total of 99 cents. How can you afford not to buy it? You can be the first to own the first ebook written by me, the “Arthur”.
As for the process of creating the “Digital Choke” e-book, stay tuned. In the meantime, just click over there to purchase your very own copy of “Digital Choke”.
How about formats OTHER than Kindle? ePub for instance
That’s a possibility. The Calibre program allows you to create different ebook formats, I believe. I just chose Amazon’s Kindle format because of the ease of adding it to their catalog (and ease of recieving payments).
I have a Nook, so used a Kindle emulator to view the generated book. Barnes & Noble doesn’t have an equivalent ebook publishing process like Amazon.
I’ll look into the other ebook formats.
Thanks for stopping by!
Well, I read it (enjoyed it, too). Think it was about ’05 or ’06.
When I get a Kindle, it’s on my load list.
Best regards, Larry
Thanks! I enjoyed writing the story. And it’s nice to know that someone actually read it.
