A book at last.




The Other Road eBook : Caswell, Ian: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

UPDATE 24TH SEPTEMBER 2025:  THE BOOK IS FREE ON KINDLE FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR SO IF YOU WANT A COPY.

Once upon a time, long long ago, (well, on 26th July 2023 anyway), I posted here that I had sent a book manuscript to a publisher called Legiron Books.  There is a link in the sidebar  to his blog.  It is run by a really pleasant and helpful guy called Kevin Hillman, who has given me a lot of support to get this damned book out there.  I  am in his debt.  Unfortunately, Kevin has been ill for some time now, so the book never actually got published........until now.  See the link 

Following the advice that Kevin had posted on his publishing site at the time, I kept the story short.  In theory this keeps the price of the book down, so more readers are likely to try out a new author, and someone like me might actually sell a few copies of their book.  Unfortunately, to get it published, I had to take it back from Kevin, even though he had already put a lot of work into it, and then put it up on Kindle myself.  At the moment, it is only on Kindle, my idea being that if it receives half decent feedback, then I might be persuaded to get some printed locally.  Then, at least, I can distribute it through a wholesaler rather than just through Amazon.  Maybe?

Since it is somewhat dystopian, it is not a pleasant story.  The subject matter is the organised mass extinction of humans.  To this end, I have included a number of facts, and as many conspiracy theories as I could.  All this was an attempt to make it relatively believable......hopefully this works?  Try out the preview, although The story does open out after this early part of the book where I am setting the scene pretty quickly.  There are s few rather obscure references in there too, just to see if anyone spots them.  One of them even has a clue or two to help point to its origin.

I'm not going to ask anyone to buy it, that bit is up to you, but please try out the Amazon preview, and let me know here if you think it works.  Finding a good proof reader is very difficult.  Family and friends are just too damned polite.  The formatting on the preview is a bit strange,  somehow it comes out in two columns per page, which is certainly not in the original document that I uploaded.  The content is the same though, and the 2 column thing doesn't seem to be on the actual download.

thanks,

Ian
