Silence is quite possibly the most badass story you’ll ever have the chance to read (claim might be slightly biased). First page in, you’re surrounded by a pack of murderous criminals. Scramble your way through them and about half a dozen more firefights and you make it to the cyborg assassins and unholy magics. Follow the conspiracy to its end, though, and you’re facing down an omnipotent demon. Not to mention the Intrasentient Empire itself.
Silence used to be up here for free, but I had to take it down to keep it in the Amazon KDP program. But if you’d like to read free, send me a message (thecelestialequation@gmail.com) and I’ll shoot an electronic copy your way.
Love you guys.
This actually sounds like everything I love in one book. Is it available for Kindle?

Thank you so much! Comments like these make my day (Technically, my night)! The writing/editing/photoshopping took about a year and a half, maybe? I ended up reading Silence so many times that I could recite about half of it. Only, it’d be totally out of order.

Your book sounds interesting. Do I need a special reader for the ebook format? I have a Kindle app on my computer – I guess I could give that a go – meanwhile I’ve downloaded the rtf version (I just thought the ebook might be easier viewing).
I admit, I’m not getting a lot of reading done at the moment, as I’m behind schedule with getting one of mine written (number 3 in the series – sci-fi), but I thought if I don’t grab this now, I’ll miss out. 😀
Cheers!

I believe that Kindle uses the .mobi file, if that helps. And to tell you the truth, even if I somehow landed a publishing contract (unlikely) and Silence made it into Barnes and Nobles (even more unlikely), I’d want to keep this version of the first book up for free. So, timewise, no worries! 🙂
Now I’m going to check out your series! I can’t believe you’ve written three books! I seriously can’t imagine all of those words!

First up, thank you for that information. It’s lovely of you to keep your first book for free, that’s very generous.
Thank you, too, for checking out mine. 😀
Yes, I know what you mean about words – I write double books with two stories intertwined, which makes for big ones. Book one is a large paperback size (also out in Kindle) 600 pages and a whopping 170,000 words.
The second is slightly smaller, and I’m still working on the third (due out in July).
😀
By the way – my first book goes out free for five days every three months. Amazon/Kindle won’t allow anything more (otherwise it would be free all the time).
The next freebie session is due early April and I’ll put up plenty of notification for it on my blog. I just wanted to let you know that.
Cheers to you! 🙂

I started writing a new story, just for fun, about a cute, lil’ strawberry scientist and a cat wizard, and it turned into the most beautiful fucked-up kind of monster I’ve ever written! It’s only eight pages, but I love it so much!
