Well, just poking my head in for a bit of shameless self-promotion, but it's good to see you also.

Nah. I'm not much good on chat rooms like this, since I don't have much to chat about.

Hey Coldy! Good to see you're still alive. Hasn't quite been as interesting since you left. Ralph is filling in for you where Ben and the clown are concerned but still...

Good to see you Frisco. The forum seems to have undergone a facelift since I was last around.

Damned Joel, I was going to start a thread and place a link for you. You beat me to it.
I will buy a copy later this week (making sure the bank account is in a positive state).
I hope you become filthy rich extremely wealthy.

Well hello Joel! Great to see you here again. What's all this then? Plaudits about the novel. Excellent. I have to agree with Bf... Too many people are gone or hardly post anymore. I'm not much good on chat rooms like this, since I don't have much to chat about.
Balls. I don't remember you ever having much of a problem with that. Do come back. Or stay. Whichever.

Indeed behold the glory that is PEEL 2.0. Behold it!! Nah. I'm not much good on chat rooms like this, since I don't have much to chat about.
I'm not buying that for a second. You were one of the most interesting people here by far. Main characters from my never-to-be-published novel.

Ralphie! You beat me to it Sorry, I got excited. I just noticed that the publish date is in the middle of next year, so that's a long pre-order. But on the plus side, they've decided to use my cover design. km73 Marcus, Unlucky, Archie - thanks guys. The novel was actually complete three or four years ago, I've just been trying to find a publisher since. Frisco Oh what little faith we have. You're right. Oh well, the lower one's expectations are, the more frequently they are pleasently surprised.

I'm sure you could change your postal details at the website. Good point though, I'll probably be living in my car again by the time it comes out... Should bolt a mailbox onto it somewhere.

I work in a restaurant now. I could sleep in the wine cellar. Hmmmmmm...

Don't drink the wine? The wine is basically the only reason I work there.

The kind of restaurant where people dine. It's classy. Situated on a golf resort. Wealthy bastards and bastardettes frequent it. Sometimes arriving in personal helicopters. Oh how I loathe them. A Chomp is a chocolate/caramel bar which retails in Australia for a buck. Monocles aren't my thing, but I do enjoy pocket-watches. Swords I already have. Yes, it's a stark cover design. It shows the main character silhouetted in profile. Silhouetted, because the title of the novel is 'Silhouettes'. Clever, eh? Eh? Not many people pick up on that. I was worried my blurb was a bit too Hollywood and I considered doing one with a more tongue-in-cheek vibe, but the publisher obviously liked the first one.

Depends how rich you are. If you reach a certain lever you're required to wear a monocle. The level after that is a bowl haircut.

Personal helicopters? Oh, okay, then you can just steal their monocles. (Or pocket-watches). And one can never have too many swords. Yeah, the synopsis is dramatic, to be sure; but it reads pretty much like any 'professional' blurblet like that that I've seen. So of course they liked it. Sounds like you succeeded in weaving in most of the plot elements. (I suppose).

Apparently it will eventually be on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I'm not sure. I think so... You can also get them without the horrid illustrations at fanfiction.net where I go by the name coldangel_omega
