Here is the print link:

Huge fan of Fallout I wrote a Post Apocalyptic novel and it's available on Kindle, Smashwords and nook for .99cents. here's the description if you're interested:

Forty years after the destruction of civilization... Man is reduced to saluaging the ruins of a broken world. One man’s most prized possession is Hemingway’s Classic ‘The Old Man and the Sea.’ With the words of the novel echoing across the wasteland, the survivor of a Nuclear Holocaust journeys into the unknown to break a curse.

What follows is an incredible tale of survival and endurance.
One man must survive the desert wilderness and mankind gone savage to discover the truth of Hemingway’s classic tale of man versus nature.
Part Hemingway, part Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, a suspenseful odyssey into the dark heart of the Post-Apocalyptic American southwest.

A book lover’s action flick.
THE OLD MAN AND THE WASTELAND

Cool, I'd buy it, but I dont have a kindle.

As well, I do believe that advertising is not allowed on threads, if you would like though, put that in your signature adn if you stay an active member on the community people will see it, check you link, and hopefully buy your novel.

it sounds good, but I'm not sure people are gonna spend the .99 cents for a nook book. I would maybe, but ain't got no nook.


And if it was for ipod, mine was stolen.


Although, even so, I wouldn't post the story on this forum. If you want to sell it, that's perfectly fine. I'm sure someone will decide to buy it. It sounds very great.


Better yet, maybe if you bought me a nook, i'd buy your novel.

Now. can I by an itunes card and use that money or will I have to actually use a credit card.


I do not use credit cards when it comes to purchasing, even on nook sites. Can't risk it.

So, can an Itunes card also purchase the book?

Your welcome, I dont think any mod will get mad at you for it, I dont knwo if they will even lock the thread or anything, its just a few threads in the past have been closed for advertising other boards, like somone posts a link to their fan fic on another site and thats not allowed and other people said that to some people adn then they posted chapters of their fan fic instead of linking.

But Im not 100% sure.

I doubt advertising like this is against the rules.

Well I ahve seen other people say to people that advertising their fan fic on another site is against the rules, if this is not true, then I am just misinformed and disregard my other posts.

Just an update on this topic. A few people expressed not owning a Kindle or a Nook. This book is now available in print from Amazon for $10.00
Here's the link:

and the description:

One man’s most prized possession is Hemingway’s Classic ‘The Old Man and the Sea.’ With the words of the novel echoing across the wasteland, the survivor of a Nuclear Holocaust journeys into the unknown to break a curse.
