Brian has mastered the art of comedy and parody in his writing, and his non-linear style only makes the payoff in the end sweeter and more satisfying. Alright,there's your review. Please release the rest of my dog (minus the parts you've already mailed to me) and call off the ninjas in my yard. The only thing better than the soundtrack is the book itself.

Alright,there’s your review. Please release the rest of my dog (minus the parts you’ve already mailed to me) and call off the ninjas in my yard.

The question is kinda yes and no. I'll say this is not the end of the story, but it's a complete story. There won't be another book. 2) There's one drawing and one photoshop. 3) I'm working on that. If anyone is really savvy and wants to head up the ebook portion of things, I'd be happy to cut you off something. Wish:

If that isn't reason enough then imagine $15.75 purchase price as seven individual items priced under two dollars at a store checkout line. Now tell me there isn't a 90% chance you're buying this printed work of fiction on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers. so there'll be a 90% chance you’ll buy it like the books author, Brian Spaeth. @ TVBrain

By naming this "Prelude to a Super Airplane" does this mean there could/will be a sequel named "Super Airplane"? If so, I will wait until the second book comes out and read them both at that time. 2. Are there pictures/photoshops in the book? 3. If I wanted a digital copy instead of the actual book what would the price be? Thanks I have a couple of serious questions:

Editing can take MUCH longer. But also, we need that done before we start selling them into bookstores, and the stores like having about a three month advance knowledge so they know what to feature and prepare for. And then getting media attention, allowing time for reviews etc. We can rush things, but it's better to allow time to plan things right.

A lot of first-time writers come out of nowhere and get $250K simply based on how good they think it is. That's not to say literary award-winning, but commercially good. Example: the guy who wrote Edgar Sawtelle, which was eventually chosen as an Oprah book and became a bestseller, actually got a lot of money upfront. There was a bidding war. He probably got a million. That said, most first time novelists probably get somewhere between 50K and 100K. A year is considered a fast-track project. No, not at all.
