PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

HE SET OUT TO FIND HIMSELF. FATE FOUND HIM INSTEAD.

High school senior Michael Gillen, living on Earth in the late twenty-fifth century, can't wait to flee his wretched life! But when he sets out to a military academy to fulfill his lifelong dream of exploring the stars, things go from bad to worse. Will the stubborn, free-spirited, and idealistic young man wash out before realizing his dream? Will his family's past get the best of him? Can he keep his mind off other, more enticing distractions? Will he get his chance to set off into the stars before a terrible war breaks out?

"As someone who generally isn't interested in science fiction, I liked this book because the people and their experiences were the focus rather than the science fiction...I enjoyed seeing the characters come into their own...I did not anticipate the ending - it was a great twist" -- reader review

Welcome to KindleBoards, Robert, and congratulations on your book!

We haven't got a lot of rules to follow here, but there are some.    We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Don't forget to bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it.  Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, most of our authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!

The fine print:
Please add to your existing book thread when you have news about your book rather than start a new one, it helps the members who are trying to follow you.  You may have a separate thread for each of your books.   We recommend you bookmark your post so that you can find it in the future.    You may respond to all posts, but if there have been no member posts, we ask that you wait a week before "bumping" the thread by posting back-to-back posts of your own.  And we ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. From time to time our site rules may change; be sure to check Forum Decorum (http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html) for the current guidelines and rules.

RW, may I offer a small suggestion for your blurb?  As written above, it could be read that he is going to "explore the stars" AT the military academy.  A reversal is needed, IMO, such as the following:

But when he sets out to a military academy to fulfill his lifelong dream of exploring the stars, things go from bad to worse.

The very best of luck with this new novel.

Gorden, thanks for the correction. The sad part is that this blurb is from the back cover of the printed edition (which is already finished). I should have challenged the editor working the cover, who took my original blurb and shortened it (but I let myself become buried in a thousand to-dos).

Call of destiny is now available on Barnes&Noble and Kobo. Kobo has listed the book for $2.39, a 20% savings over the $2.99 list price, making it that much more affordable. Of course, there is still the $1.99 coupon offer above as well.
