Traditional Author Goes Kindle and SciFi/Fantasy

[GuinS]

I've just found this forum--what a great resource!

My name is Jay Stout.  I've always written military/aviation history and have been published by mainstream houses for the past ten years.  Although I like what I write about, I've always wanted to try Science Fiction/Fantasy.  Unfortunately other things always seemed to get in the way.

So, considering how Kindle seems to be taking off--and the freedom it provides--I've decided to use it to publish my first Science Fiction/Fantasy work.  Miss Kitty, Rocky and the Immortals" is a contemporary romantic technothriller with reincarnated anthropomorphic protagonists.  It's fast-paced and runs about 70,000 words.  It's priced at $1.59 after the discount.

If you're interested, here's the link:

Anyway, it's good to be here.  It'll be interesting to hear from others who have followed the traditional writing/publishing route, but are now taking the Kindle plunge.

All best,
Jay

My Dad's a retired Air Force Colonel, 90 years old now, and a was a pilot in WWII and Korea. This looks interesting so I downloaded it. It will be added to my HUGE TBR list.

Louiseb,

Ah...your father is just the sort I enjoyed interviewing for my earlier books.  I was a Marine Corps fighter pilot for twenty years.  That military experience really gave me a credibility edge over the more academic types whenever I wrote with/about wonderful gentlemen like your dad.

Cheers,
Jay
