Next Tuesday, one of my favorite novels will finally come out in print. But wait! How can it be a favorite if it hasn't been released? The answer is that the author, J. C. Hutchins, wasn't content waiting for traditional publishers to buy his baby. He gave it away for free as a podcast. He did such a good job not only writing the book, but reading and marketing as well, that he got himself a major following.His following was significant enough for a traditional publisher to finally take notice. St. Martin's Press will be bringing the first of J. C.'s trilogy about a team of clones tracking down their deranged progenitor before he can bring his nightmare vision of the world to life.
J. C. is one of the nicest guys on the Internet and hasn't forgotten where he's come from. He continues to give away his work for free even on the eve of its for-cash release. Go to jchutchins.net to learn more about the man, or to 7thsonnovel.com to get the audio book and its sequels FOR FREE. Then buy the book on October 27th.
