Good news and bad news: I decided to try and upload what I consider to be my best novel, "Pixie", to a publishing-on-demand site. I haven't tried querying an agent about the manuscript in two years and realized that the constant rejection of the first twenty pages of my work by smarmy New York City types has done nothing to convince me that the entire thing is of no value to any reader anywhere on the planet.
So, the good news for those of you who, for one reason or another hate reading downloaded text, is that you can now own a paperback copy of "Pixie" to own and cherish, take to the beach or onto an airplane, and so on and so forth. Here's the little blurb I barfed up at some point to shill this strange little story of girl's hockey and federal law enforcement:
Quote:
"S.F.W." author A.M. Wellman returns with "Pixie", a novel about a couple of weeks in the life of a woman who happens to be in the Federal Witness Protection Program. As a girl growing up in Ontario, Nela Perkins once captured Canada's attention with her exploits on the hockey rink. However, as she approaches the age of forty, attention is the last thing she seeks. Ten years after cutting a deal with the F.B.I. in order to avoid prison, Nela quietly lives in a trailer somewhere in Florida, her whereabouts unknown not only to the men against whom she testified, but to her own family as well. With the prospect of another lonely holiday approaching, Nela is already on edge when an ex-lover arrives in Florida with a warning: Trust nobody--and that includes the people she thought were protecting her. For Nela, it's more than enough to cause a major identity crisis.
Now for the bad news: Even after setting my author royalty rate at zero (that's NO dollars and NO cents) the goddamn book is still more than slightly overpriced.
Anyway, here it is. 731 pages of something.
