well..after 9 years..i'm an author.
 

hi guys, ryan here...
i'm not too present anymore..even car's for sale..just been an awful year and to be treading water is still about best i can boast. those of you who know or remember me understand that. anyway, i began work on a fiction novel in 2001, completed in 2005..and with the ever-slowing pace with which i move, constantly fighting depression, i finally got my 144k word novel out there on amazon. i'm selling it for $2.99, but i may drop the price to be more affordable (lol)..mainly i'd like a truly interested bunch to enjoy the distraction. a man named sven geier at caltech is responsible for the great fractal cover art. so, for those who knew this was a bit of a dream and a long road..this effort kept me allive for the four years following my quitting my job/career in aviation as a learjet cap'n. here's a link to 'all that is seen and unseen' with its product description, and for those without a kindle, amazon has free apps for iphone and pc to download and read. love your comments, fellas..hope all are surviving the season..

Damn... I don't have a Kindle. :(

Have you thought about putting out a hard copy using someplace like Lulu?
Some prefer the look and feel of a real book. Lulu's not that expensive, 'course they don't do much in the way of marketing.

Feels good, doesn't it?
