We have LIFT OFF!

Lift off of the eBook, Delta Legend, on its way to Kindles, Nooks, and iPads to carry out its mission to bring urban fantasy, action, suspense, horror, romance, humor, and historical fiction to the masses with reading devices.

Are you on board this flight of fancy?



So, it's finally here: the official release date. Truth be told, we were a bit nervous about the whole upload process and how long it would take to appear for sale on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, so we actually pushed the launch button Tuesday night. You never see this at Cape Canaveral. "Sorry, we just wanted to make sure the thing was going to work, so we shot it into the atmosphere a couple days early. Was that wrong?"

Amazon.com loaded almost immediately, within hours. BarnesandNoble.com took over 48 hours to load. When I went to bed last night,  B & N's PubIt said it was still processing, but by morning it was available for sale. As of this post, Tom was having some technical issues the Barnes and Noble site. If you have a Nook and experience any issues downloading the book, please let me know.

But it's already doing its thing at Amazon and people are buying. (I think the cover has a lot to do with that.) Let's hope it's more than just my family and friends shelling out.

If you haven't already, I hope you'll buy your copy soon—don't let me end up singing Elton John's "Rocket Man" as in, "It's lonely out in space." Cyberspace, that is. You won't regret it. It really is a fun read that'll transport you to a unique location for a little mental vacation. Calvin & Company are a lot of fun to hang with.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you, for your continued love, energy, and support on this mission. A special shout-out to my brother, Terry, for feeding me this great space-launch metaphor a few days ago. I snapped it up ran with it.

This concludes our special coverage of the launch of Delta Legend. We now return to our previously scheduled program, Market It Your Damn Self! already in progress.
