Rudolf Kerkhoven | 17 comments In the summer I released "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper," a silly choose your own adventure style ebook with my friend, Daniel Pitts, which garnered some good reviews--mostly from readers I found via this board--which you can view here:

On November 1st, I'm releasing "The Year We Finally Solved Everything," which is a NOT a choose your own adventure. Fancy that. I'm not giving the reader a choice in what happens.

Here's the blurb:

The global economy is in tatters not because of humanity’s faults but because of its accomplishment. The country of Shan Won, a small island state off the coast of China, has cured all of our ills, and like a black hole, a piercing singularity of perfection, it’s sucking the world dry of its stability and leadership and power.

Human traffickers become overwhelmed with smuggling hordes of North Americans across to Asia for a better life. And for Richard, for whom growing up seems to have solved nothing at all, escape seems to be his only option. But when he become reacquainted with Mia, the girlfriend of his twenties, he’s no longer certain about just what’s the problem and what’s the solution. He only knows that he’s running out of time.


Anyhow, while I put some finishing touches on the final version, I do have a 'pre-release' version already available on Smashwords.

And so, if anyone is still reading this far down my post and is interested in receiving this pre-release version for FREE, go ahead and use the following coupon code: NH73Y. It's good until November 1st. This my small 'thank you' to the people on this forum who have been helpful to me in the last few months since I've learned about e-publishing.

Or, it's only 99 cents for the time being at Amazon, so if you feel so inclined...

A review from Motherlode Book Reviews:
“I was hooked from the very first page. There was just something about the story and the direction it took that made me eager to continue. I wouldn’t be satisfied until I had read every page. Although not at all what I anticipated, the ending was satisfying in its own way. My questions were answered, but not in the manner I was expecting. Instead, my questions were answered in a way that forced me to think about my own life choices…

The Lowdown: I would recommend this book. It’s one of those books that stays with you even after you’ve clicked past your last page. I finished the book Thursday night, and I’m still thinking about it on Saturday. What would my Shan Won look like? Would it be worth leaving everything in my current life? Which character’s actions most closely resemble the actions I would likely take? Most importantly, what choices do I need to make to put myself on the path to my own personal Shan Won?”

A good sample is available at Smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...)
