I am the author, and I am indeed selling the Kindle version of my book, The Takers: Book One of the Oz Chronicles, for $.99. The bonus? If you have bought or buy the book, I will send you the 2nd book (not currently available in Kindle format) in the series in .doc or .pdf format for free. Just email me at member(at)rwridley.com and tell me you want the file.  . The one sentence pitch: A 13-year-old boy wakes up to discover he is responsible for the end of the world! Thank you! *Yes, I'm back.  |

Looks like a good read. Just curious...I was looking at the pb versions and I see that you have three so far in the series. Are you planning to continue beyond the three?

Ok I'm sorry but when I played that ad clip, and I heard, "we killed the retarded boy" I just started laughing. I didn't expect that one.

Yeah, but I'm in limbo right now. Some things are happening behind the curtain that I can't really comment on. A lot of publishing is waiting and waiting and waiting. |

Wow, that is a new one. Not sure what to do with that response. |

Ridley,
Glad to see you here (and on Kindle). I'll be watching for the others (since I read Takers back when you had your contest and it was a free download).

Thanks! I'm looking at a new drawing towards the end of the year. |

You guys are cool. The Takers reached number 7 in the Monsters sub category. Thanks!

BTW - Looks like Amazon is offering it at a 20% discount to boot. The prize is now $1.59. Sweet deal!  |

"we killed the retarded boy" That almost made me stop reading. But once I got past that, the sample was intriguing. |

Yes, it is a tricky first line. I'm glad you found the sample intriguing. |

I can understand that. Will the next two in the series be Kindleized as well? |

Eventually. In fact, book 2 has already been formated and is ready to go. I'll be sure to make a stink about it when it's live. |

I'm reading this now. Very imaginative. You've done an excellent job of creating believing characters and a convincing "end of the world" atmosphere. I'm not done yet, but I hope we get Book 2 soon. |

I just finished Book 1 and loved it. Since Book 2 is formatted and ready to go, any ETA on when we can expect it? |
