Hey GOG, I make this post...well, to do a bit of advertising :P
As you know, finding a job here in Italy at the moment is hard. Very hard.
After a while I decided to do something different (and in the meanwhile, of course, I'm looking for a job).

So I wrote a book, a long novel, and I used Amazon to distribute it. The book is totally DRM-free, and it costs like two coffee.

For me it's a little dream becoming true and well, my real dream is to become a TRUE writer, but let'st proceed one step each time.

This is the link of the book

http://www.amazon.it/avventure-di-Mister-Twinsee-ebook/dp/B00LSYBI30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405402311&sr=8-1&keywords=le+avventure+di+mister+twinsee

I linked the italian Amazon site here, but you can search for it on your local Amazon and you will find it :)

The price is the same for all countries, naturally.

I hope this is the beginning of something good :)

Oh, I almost forgot: if you don't have a Kindle, you can read the book on your PC simply by using the software Amazon gives you for those situations.

The book is only in italian language, for now, but I hope to add more languages if the italian version does well.

EDIT: I've created a Facebook page to promote the book, here's the link:

congratulations on finishing your novel and getting it out there! I hope it is the beginning of good things for you too <(")

Congratulations on your book and good luck, because you'll really need it! I'd love to read it as it seems like it'd interest me, but I don't know Italian... :x

Now this is an accomplishment! Way to go!
May I ask what is the book about?

I'm really happy for you. It's a big accomplishment.

I am jealous, I have been writing for years and have never completed anything. I keep changing stories so I have dozens of partially written stories, novels, and such in different degrees of abandonment. TO complete your story is indeed an accomplishment.

Congratulations on finishing your novel!

It's a story about a man that, one day discovers to have lost some cogwheels (I don't know if there is a english correspondance for this, but basically he went a bit crazy).

Then he starts a journey to recover its cogwheels, find some bizzare things, like a underground community composed by dead me.

It's not a horror story or so, let'say something...strange?

Described as I did it may sounds bad, but I'm not too strong with english, and I think the story is, at least, interesting.

Congrats man! Hopefully it does really, we'll have an English version from you soon! Good luck and thumbs up for this!

Congratulations! As a lazy aspiring author myself you have my deepest respect and admiration for getting your story out there. And the description that I read from the translated Amazon page seems like a great plot for an adventure game; perhaps in your future is the chance to team up with an indie game developer ? ;)

"Cogwheels"...in English we sometimes say "They've lost their marbles!" which means basically the same thing, hope that helps.

+1 to you and perhaps if I ever make the jump to an ereader I'll DL this amazong. I'll download this from Amazon. That's the official signal it's time for me to sleep.

Thanks, They've lost their marbles! is exactly what I want to say :)

Congratulations! I wish you a lot of success!

You could try to get in contact with the Groupees guys to see if you can get in the next Community Bundle (or a related bundle), I'm sure you could get a nice bit of publicity (and maybe some money) if you were to get in the next bundle.

Maybe, but I must wait three months because for now the book is exclusive of Amazon :)

Well thank you for your time, I appreciate it and I hope you do really well!

God bless you and the best of luck to ya!

- Tim

And of course, the scene where Toodles loses his marbles in the film Hook immediately comes to mind.
