that's right, now i have a novel for sale!

you can buy Asylum on the kindle

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0056A6ZVC

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0056A6ZVC

What is asylum about? well, allow the description to explain it!

Katherine D’Alton, renowned actress, despises her husband’s mysterious disappearances and her sagging body. After receiving pictures of him with a young woman, she laments her loss of beauty. Upset and confused over her husbands betrayal she makes the decision to undergo an expensive and experimental treatment, restoring her body to its youthful splendour, however, during a masquerade ball, Katherine vanishes. Rumours abound but with no solid leads, Brian D’Alton Emerges as the prime suspect and he is forced to reveal secrets that have been kept for over twenty years.

Alison Smith, an investigative journalist, is staying in Greenview Manor, a prestigious and exclusive drug rehabilitation centre. Although she tells the strange and enigmatic owner Anthony she is writing an article on the clinic, she is in fact, looking for evidence of foul play in the disappearance of her socialite friend Jessica Price. The police have cast the disappearance as a simple run-away, a junkie unable to reform but Alison knows better. Convinced there is something fundamentally wrong in the Clinic, Alison must find the truth of what happened to Jessica, before Anthony begins to suspect her motives and she too disappears. Unknowingly, she has become an obsession and leaving the asylum won’t be as easy as entering.

Sounds like fun. Unfortunately, I only buy books in paper form. Good luck with getting it on to peoples little gadgets, and into their hearts.

That's ok, i understand completely. Though I do enjoy the kindle for travel, makes it handier than lugging around 5 or 6 books

Yeah, I'm a paper purchaser also. Toilet paper and fire tinder if the plug gets pulled.

Best Wishes/Good Luck with your venture, CD.

Read your description "undergo an expensive and experimental treatment".
Wonder if you would like to say 'extensive and experimental'.

Hi there! I don't have a kindle, but is the book in .epub format? I have a nook and a tablet...so if either of these devices would be compatible I will buy/download it : )

Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"

Nick: thanks for the luck Smiley

Sana: it's only available from amazon, so AFAIK it's only available in .Mobi, looked into Smashwords which also publishes in those formats, but it would be a long, drawn out process for anythign to happen if you get payment from them and it isn't work it from comparative sales i've seen on each.

Whispers In The Shadows is #1 in free short stories on amazon have about 8 times the downloads on amazon than smashwords so it's not worth the hassle unfortunatley.
