I had to procure an EIN before Amazon would deal with me but I did and they told me it is available for preorder now in the Electronic Format. It was due to be released this past Monday, but I did not have an Employer Identification Number and they will do nothing about publishing without it. I notice that they ask if I got it in the last sixty days, so I think I will be a couple f months before I draw any royalties.

The book is a Novel length manuscript, but it came in on the short end of that 70,00 to eigthy thousand word range in the neighborhood of 73,000 thousand.

The book is written in second and first person fiction because , although I was some part of every event written about in the book, I spent better than forty years trying to forget what happened and to get those nightmares out of my bed. And if I knew their names now, many were the young Officers that were the best Pilots this old man ever had the honor to crew for and to fly with. If the Amazon ITs get the bug out of their cover Designer, It will publish as a paperback as soon as they can get it in the presses.

The ebook for your tablets, laptops and desktop computers will sell at $2.99 and don't want to hurt anyone on the paperbacks either but I can't give it a price until they fix the bug.

The title is a Young Man's Journey to War and subtitled The Real Vietnam. I'll teach you about hanging outside the aircraft in flight, how far out of the door you must be to use a machine gun with Butterfly Triger systems and you can ride along as we dodged B40 Rockets.

Those that have read the rough, unedited, copy have told me I did well. I don't know, I just left abojut three quarters of the content out to keep it Noval length.
 
I was going to link the pre-order page to your book on Amazon, but derpy Amazon won't let me sign out of my account. I don't want to link it on my account page, lest people get click-happy and I pre-order it 50 times. :cool2

Pretty cool, Mr. Bill. We're in the midst of a real author. Kudos to you!
 
Thank you Mike but in reality, if a man reaches 70 he has one good book in him.
That may be true, but the painstaking process of putting that book to print is something very few do. You are in a select fraction of people who finished what he conceived of and began. That is an amazing accomplishment that no one will ever be able to take from you. God willed you to be the voice for countless veterans who needed it to be written. Honestly, I have immense respect for what you've done here.

I pre-ordered it, and it says it will be downloaded to our Kindle one week from today. I'll read it and post a review on Amazon!

Thank you Mike. I left so much of the story out that it amazed me how little content goes into a book. And it really surprised me how quickly one can type seventy-three thousand words.

I should, but I have no idea what they charge over there but I do know it will be much Cheaper than the hard copy. I hope it makes money until my wife and I are both gone home but, we will see.
thank you, Abide.

I can order it through Amazon. I have purchased books on various topics including craft from them. My credit card is a valid one.:cool2
 
Bill, now that you are a wealthy author can I borrow some money? Just wanted to be the first to ask:rofl2:hysterical:rofl2:hysterical:rofl2:hysterical:rofl2:hysterical:hysterical
Wait a minute...
Bill is an artist....
As in starving artist.

I don't think that he has any money.

But congratulations are in order...

I got questions though.
Which press/publisher picked up the book?

My wife is a professional writer. So I was asking out of genuine curiosity.

I thought I'd mention, it really matters to get books promoted in Amazon if they have a lot of early reviews. I would encourage people who read it to review it on Amazon.
Can anyone post a LINK to it? I tried to find it on Amazon, under all the names given, and cannot locate it.
 
Yes, based on fact. I might or I might not have taken part in some of the actions and only had a part in it. The prolog and everything before chapter one is completely true about why and how I joined. And everything described in the story took place and all the names except Heinen are out of my head. The two characters mentioned by their nicknames, they are the actual nicknames and they are Major Short Arm and Head Crusher. Any that were there will know without checking who they were but most of us were not that stand out, just nuts that flew Choppers into the middle of firefights.
