Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot Part 3 is now on Wattpad for Free: Wattcode 128012

On April 20, 2009, In Blackberry, iPhone, jurassic park, science fiction, WattPad, writing fiction, By Erik John Bertel

This goes into the category of who would have thunk it but since adding Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot Part 1 to Wattpad I have had over 1400 downloads with 29 recommendations. Part 2 is number 4 on “What is Hot” at Wattpad so this great news. Now its time to add Part 3 and I promise to make the entire novel available in the weeks ahead. For the uninitiated and those not that enamored of their Smart Phone, Wattpad is a site that installs a free application on your iPhone and BlackBerry allowing you to download and read free novels. I tried it myself and while this is not my preferred format for reading a book, after all I’m old school so I’m still a fan of dead trees, if you commute or are waiting forever at a doctor’s office this is a great diversion. Highly recommended to have one book saved on your smartphone just in case you face a dreaded hour of boredom and Flores Girl is just the novel to engage you.

Harry Potter and Disappearing iPhone eBooks on Scribd

On April 14, 2009, In Blackberry, iPhone, marketing fiction, podcast, writers, writing fiction, By Erik John Bertel

You can almost hear the dinosaurs taking their last disgruntled breath today and, yes, I am referring to the RIAA (the old record industry association) and the publishing industry . Their outdated thinking and allegiance to both vinyl and dead trees stands in the way of progress and a seeming tsunami of technology trends. JK Rowling publishers were frothing at the mouth against Scribd, a social publishing site, for stealing their crappy Harry Potter books and sharing them online as eBooks. As far as I know, the Potter novels are not available as a legitimate eBook but I can’t say I have looked very hard other than at the Amazon site.

As a fledgling author, I made Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot free as an eBook to get an audience and the twists and turns I have seen with my own pitifully small self-publishing efforts is amazing. One of my big surprises was with my Flores Girl on Wattpad. Wattpad makes eBooks available for downloading and reading on smartphones and frankly, I never figured so many people read novels on their phones. And fortunate for me they like Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot. To me, the tiny size of an iPhone or Blackberry screen made that exercise impractical at least to my particular mode of outdated fossil thinking. On the other hand, as a former commuter, I realize that now it makes a lot of sense especially if you are blessed with a younger set of eyes. With your Smartphone you can escape to a world of music and prose away from the other human cattle you are sharing a ride with. And if you don’t like the book, you just download another.

eBooks will happen and like other authors I will have to figure out a way to monetize my writing efforts in the near future. Nobody knows how this is going to turn out but you can either get in front of the wave or drown in the resultant flood! I’ll swim, thank you!

Oh if your interested here is the link to Flores Girl on WattPad: http://www.wattpad.com/125445-Flores-Girl-The-Children-God-Forgot-Part-1

On your smart phone just sign up at Wattpad (www.wattpad.com) to install the free app and add Wattcode 125445! There have been over 2 million downloads of Wattpad to date and over a thousand fo Flores Gril.  Or you like you can go to WWW.FREE-SCIENCE-FICTION.COM

Flores Girl: The Children GodForgot Part 2 is now on Wattpad for Free: Wattcode 126442

On April 11, 2009, In authors, Blackberry, Flores Girl, iPhone, marketing fiction, writing fiction, By Erik John Bertel

This is actually pretty exciting news at least for fans of novels. Since adding Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot Part 1 to Wattpad I have had close to 600 downloads with 10 recommendations.  It’s number 2 on what is hot at Wattpad so this great news. Now its time to add Part2 and I promise to make the entire novel available. For the uninitiated and those not that enamored of their Smart Phone, Wattpad is a site that installs a free application on your iPhone and BlackBerry allowing you to download and read free novels.  I tried it myself and while this is not my preferred format for reading a book, afterall I’m old school so I’m still a fan of dead trees,  if you commute or are waiting forever at a doctor’s office this is a great diversion. Highly recommended to have one book saved on your smartphone just in case you face a dreaded hour of boredom and Flores Girl is just the novel to engage you.  I looked at some of the other offerings and the offering du jour  appears to be more vampire stories, a sad state of affairs but hey, you know what they say about imitation.  Jeez, they suck blood and are non-human, get over it people!

Anyway take a look and try Flores Girl on Wattpad.  For fans of my rants well I’ll think of something in a little while.  Right, now it’s Obama spending our money and the Republicans attacking him while in turn offering no real alternative plans to spending trillions.  Sad state of affairs and millions of Amercians out of work.

Flores Girl Sci-Fi Novel is now Free on Wattpad for the iPhone and BlackBerry

On April 8, 2009, In Blackberry, Flores Girl, iPhone, writing fiction, By Erik John Bertel

I just made the Flores Girl:The Children God Forgot science fiction novel  available for free to read on your iPhone and BlackBerry.  On your smart phone just sign up at Wattpad (www.wattpad.com) to install the free app and add Wattcode 125445! There have been over 2 million downloads of Wattpad to date.

Let me know how the reading experience is for the iPhone and I am going to check it out on my own Blackberry. I tried to format it properly but you just never know. For example, I notice the paragraph breaks aren’t working.   For a long time I couldn’t imagine reading an entire novel on a mobile phone but if you got time to kill, such as a long tedious commute, it can be a real life saver.  Just don’t read it while driving!

For those with a Kindle my first novel in the Trilogy, Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot, is now available on Amazon at a very reasonable price: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UE6MDY

I would give it away for free for the Kindle but Amazon is funny about free giveaways!

Update:  A week later I have had over a thousand downloads!  Flores Girl is a big hit and Number 2 at Wattpad! Thanks!
