Utilizing a Blog for Blatant Self-Promotion
It has been quite awhile since I have utilized this blog to promote my post-apocalyptic/speculative novel
Levels
. Therefore, I blatantly and unapologetically do so now.
Imagine a world in which there is no war, poverty, hunger, prejudice, inequality, bigotry, envy or greed. Everyone, without exception, has access to the exact same quantity and quality of food, clothing, housing, medical care, formal education and social advancement opportunities. Being different is not merely tolerated, it is considered admirable.
Now imagine that, in this world, the words father, mother, daughter, son, sister, brother, family, marriage, government and religion do not exist because the concepts themselves do not exist. The inhabitants are often transported to places they never knew existed and required to do something without having the slightest idea of what they are doing or why it must be done.
Can you imagine such a world? Well, I did. If you should choose to visit it someday, I hope that you enjoy reading about the world of Levels as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Distributed internationally by Ingram/Spring Arbor, Levels is available in paperback (376 pages), e-book (Kindle/Nook/Tablet), audio book on CD (9 compact discs) and audio book download - 8 hours listening time, narrated by Stephen Rozzell.

By "OZ" were you perhaps referring to your native land "down under", Australia? If so, it is surprising that "Kindle" unavailable since Amazon is a popular vendor there.
Thank you for once again viewing the blog and taking the time to comment. As always, your input is welcome and appreciated.

I've done this with books and even got a paperback out of the UK for very little cost (shipped from the UK). You may have to download their version of the Kindle app to your computer.
Jim - for promo, not bad and its not like you do this all the time. FYI - your book is fantastic and everyone should read it. It is everything you say it is and more. Your book has that staying power. that keeps the reader thinking about the story long after they finished the book.

Christine,
Thank you for the generous compliment and opinion of the book. Coming from a professional writer and published author such as yourself, they mean a lot. I saw the reviews for Levels which you posted on both Goodreads and Amazon. Thank you for taking the time to do so.
The most recent sales report, covering a period from Sept. 9, 2011 through March 31, 2016, revealed that, after 4 1/2 years, Levels has finally surpassed the 1,000 unit sales mark. (1,002 units: 479 paperbacks, 459 e-books, 36 audio books on CD and 28 audio book downloads). Total royalties to-date amount to only $2,306.67, so I am very glad that I do not depend upon my writing to earn a living. Since this was the first and will be the last time I venture into the writing profession, I am totally satisfied with the result.
Thank you for remaining a loyal and active follower of the blog.

I am curios about the concept of this world: how it has come to exist? Who rules it (there's always someone ruling, isn't it)? Why people have no idea of what mother, father, son, daughter mean?Next book I'll read it'll be yours Jim!
Congratulation on publishing it. Read the comment of another author, I'm just excited at the prospect to tuck my mind into your plot and discover what it unravels.
