Print version now for sale

With a couple of spelling errors on the back cover corrected, I'm now satisfied with the print version of AFK. If you would like to buy a paperback copy, therefore, click here to visit AFK's web page at lulu.com. As mentioned previously the book costs GBP 7.99.

And if you don't want to buy a paperback copy, well that's just fine as well. What matters most to me is that AFK is being downloaded and read and enjoyed; it makes me feel great to know my writing's alive out there. The free PDF version will of course remain. So keep handing out this URL, folks, and to those of you who have left comments - either here on this page or inworld to me directly - thanks very much indeed. It means a lot :)

Proof print version of AFK arrives!

The first print version of AFK arrived today. I'm going to spend a couple of days going through this before posting the link to the Lulu page where it can be bought. The font size is a little smaller than I thought it would look, but overall it just looks the business! The price, incidentally, will be GBP 7.99.

AFK (2007) by Huckleberry Hax

I look back now and I wonder when and where it all went wrong. I wonder when magical turned into mundane, when novelty turned into necessity. I wonder when it was that SL stopped being something I chose to do and became something I needed to do instead. I wonder when it was that I became addicted. *Really* addicted. I wonder if it could have been any other way, and I honestly doubt that it could have.

A Second Life® detective reflects on cases and confessions, on love, on anger, on understanding Second Life as perhaps the greatest liberator there has ever been, and on falling for the oldest trick in the book, just the same...

And now also read the sequels: AFK, Again and AFK, Indefinitely.

Welcome to my website

Yes! Indeed! Blog! Errr...

Sort of blog. Ok, not blog. I have no intention of serialising my dull thoughts about stuff across a sequence of web pages. As it happens, I *much* prefer to do that sort of nonsense within the cosy confines of a novel. A hastily written novel, that is...

Essentially the purpose of this site is to promote my Second Life writing. Starting with my recent novel, 'AFK,' written in the 30 days of November 2007 as part of National Novel Writing Month. So, if you know me in SL, fret not; I won't be telling the world about our night of passion under the kitchen sink at Greenies just yet.

Right. Download link to the right, then; off you go... Did I mention it was free? You were assuming that anyway, weren't you? Of course you were.
