You guys should read my book

I self-published my book on Amazon's Kindle store. SenisterDenister and someone who I am friends on Facebook with that's from DAC but I don't know their DAC identity have bought it. Right now, though, there's a promotion and it's available for free until May 15th. Money is nice, but I'd rather be read.

If you read it, all I ask is you review it on Amazon or Good Reads, preferably both.

I could've sworn I read that synopsis elsewhere...

Congratz, nig. 'tis an accomplishment proper. Can't promise I'll love it but I'll tell ya what I thought. Soon as I get paid, that is. Unless not having a maxi-pad is some sort of impediment.

Also, what month were you born in?

I CAN SMELL YOUR INK.

Well done.

Hope you don't regret bearing your ankles to this realm, Felicia. :drunk:

January. And honest opinion is the only way I'll ever get better at writing. My book was complete crap before someone was brutally honest with me.

Downloaded it onto my Kindle last night.

I'll read it after I finish the book I'm on now. Been a while since I've read science-fiction. Been reading nothing but fantasy books for the past year it seems. Binged the Game of Throne books over the past summer and then I'd been reading nothing but Malazan Book of the Fallen interrupted only by Roadside Picnic.

I'm getting off track, I'll tell you how it is when I'm done reading it. Don't disappoint me Ret, I have high expectations for a fellow DACker.

The only difference between 29 and 30 is the realization you're no longer young and that you're nowhere near where you wanted to be by this age.

Whatever you do, don't look at old pictures of yourself. I'm still convinced I look like I did when I was 18.

I'll see if I can get it in the near future.

Will there be a Pooper review on it?

I don't read as much as I watch movies. If the book is really good I might give it a read, but I need hear from DACKERs.

Looks like good old pulp sci-fi.

What is the atomic weight of Froshium?

If I was an elitist douchebag I'd make up something and then post once I had my smarmy, cocksure answer.

The actual answer is: Fuck if I know!


The SPOILER ANSWER: It's a MacGuffin.

Or say it is a super-heavy element made stable because it "sticks" to Dark Matter, giving it a quality that allows it to attract antimatter while repelling it just enough to avoid full contact.

Which would just make it a McGuffin with a BS explanation.

You can use that for free if you like.

You could also say that the puzzling asymmetry of matter vs antimatter is a result of the antimatter being bound to Dark Matter, and the inexplicable action of Dark Energy/Cosmic Inflation is the force created by that antimatter.

Froshium being a hybrid "cross dimensional" material, would have amazing applications.

Hey, why not make shit up- it's Sci-Fi!

Nice, thanks for the idea! Current BS explanation I have is froshium molecules can wrap around antimatter atoms and be used for micro-encapsulation.

By the by, if any of you prefer your books printed, I just made the print version available at https://www.createspace.com/4150650

Obviously, you can't get the print version for free.
