I don't know why I keep putting more things on my shoulders but I decided to write a book/story/novel last year and finally I've self published it on Amazon as a Kindle download ! smile.gif

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hammer-Ben-Higgins...mer+ben+higgins

It follows on from the comic I did about Frank Blake. The next phase of his story was too complex to put into pictures (for me, anyway) so I decided to go down the route of the written word. I really enjoyed doing it and I gave me the opportunity to research one of Europe's most interesting cities. I'm not planning a career as a writer, I just did it because I had to get the next part of the story out. Now I've done it, I'm happy. smile.gif

That's strange.. it should be available in all countries. Maybe it's taking a little longer to be ready in US stores.. thank you for the support though biggrin.gif

Btw, I'm pretty sure you don't actually need a Kindle to read digital books. There's Kindle apps for iphones and such like smile.gif

Thank you Monica - yeah, go for it !

I don't have a Kindle yet but I read SO much that I should probably get around to doing it !

Hehe biggrin.gif I think I should leave the comic drawing to those who can really do it, like yourself ! wink.gif

But I know what you mean, it would have been nice to follow it up with drawings but the ideas I had were too big to be able to put down in the same way.

Super congrats!! Your first Novel!! Now of course you have to start on the Sequel smile.gif Kindle Publishing is awesome. Another great example of technology democratizing just about everything. Begging a publisher for a release is a thing of the past.

Wow, that's really cool. In third grade the class voted me as most likely to be an author when I grow up because I wrote a thirty or so page story for the class library. Now I'm in the middle of writing a book, about 200 pages in, but I sort of got stuck around when I joined GMC. I've been curious about publishing through kindle and stuff, it all sounds cool. Anyway, congratulations about the novel happy.gif
