Featured Author on Fantastical Reads
Hi all!
Just received word that I am a featured indie author at Fantastical Reads. Catch the profile here: http://fantasticalreads.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/featured-author-j-allen-wilder/.
It has links back to this blog, Smashwords, and CreateSpace.
One word about my Smashwords edition of The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book One. I'm having major trouble getting an edited version on Smashwords due to difficulties with e-formatting. I haven't given up on this, but it's going to take some time.
Meanwhile, check out the print edition at CreateSpace or Amazon. Book Two is still nearing completion. I expect Book Two to run from Chapter Nineteen through Chapter Fifty-three. That will complete Volume One: Encounter at Terra Arcadia.
Volume 2: Meeting at Calaverras, is going to follow in a few months.
peace, J

Book One is Now in Kindle! And Hello Turkey!
The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book One: The Man Who Had to Die is now available in Kindle. You may find it here at Amazon:
Kindle version of The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book 1
The Kindle version is $3.99.
Also, I've noticed that this past week the second largest group of viewers of this blog happen to be in Turkey for some reason. Maybe off-beat indie science fiction appeals to people in Turkey? Thanks for the views, and best wishes to readers in Turkey.
The first largest group of readers is in the United States. The third largest group is in Poland! Hello Poland!

The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book One, Coming to Kindle
Good news! The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book One: The Man Who Had to Die is coming to Kindle. It is in the review process now.
In the meantime, you may find it here at CreateSpace: https://tsw.createspace.com/title/4907177...
and here at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Girl-El-Dorado-Star-System/dp/1500541907/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406384735&sr=1-1&keywords=J.+Allen+Wilder
Tom Aster doesn't know what he's getting into. He saw himself as a born loser. Then he just bumped into the most incredible girl. She proposed. He accepted. They plan to elope to the El Dorado star system and get married. But he doesn't know she's an agent for a covert government agency of the most powerful star nation in the galaxy. He doesn't know she's a little more than human. And he doesn't know she's stalking the most dangerous prey in the galaxy, a madman with superhuman abilities and no conscience who could easily kill him.
At times politically incorrect, satirical, quirky, sexy, dramatic, romantic, and humorous, The Girl From the El Dorado Star System is a science-fiction/future punk story about ordinary people (and some not-so-ordinary people) who are drawn together by events, chance, and circumstance, or perhaps by the Will of God, into a fateful rendezvous in the distant future. In the process unlikely relationships form, comic situations unfold with serious consequences, and lost souls find a path leading to redemption and new life.
The Man Who Had to Die is the first book of a multi-book novel. 18 chapters, 172 pages, with appendices for a timeline, list of abbreviations, and short glossary of some of the terms used in the story.
And, btw, the print and Kindle editions have a different cover from the Smashwords edition:

Published Book One in Print
The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book One: The Man Who Had to Die is now available in print at the CreateSpace e-store. This is an edited version of the copy at Smashwords. Typos are corrected, and some of the content has been rewritten. Also, there are three appendices for an explanation of abbreviations used in the book, a timeline, and a short glossary. Notice that the timeline is actually missing a couple of dates! This is intentional. To put everything on the timeline in Book One would be to give away spoilers for the upcoming books. The print edition will also be available through Amazon.com in about 3-5 business days. It is not yet available on Kindle.
Book Two is still in the writing stage, though I'd say it's about 90% complete.
Book Three has been started, but has a long way to go.
Book Four is in my head.
I have to recommend CreateSpace for any indie writer looking to publish in print. There may be others who do this (Lulu.com), but this was a relatively pain-free process. They have a limited number of cover designs available, though, and this is one drawback to using CreateSpace, but if you have your own ready to print cover handy (I did not), then you're in good shape.
Look for The Girl From the El Dorado Star System, Book One in print at CreateSpace here:
https://www.createspace.com/4907177
Also, for anyone who wants to use CreateSpace to publish their work in print, you can start here:
https://www.createspace.com/
Also, I will have the edition on Smashwords updated soon so its many little typos will be gone and its content will match the content of the print edition.
