Introduction-Vernon Baker-Author

[Vernon]

Hello. Recently I learned that my novel, Slow Boat To Purgatory, was made available in the new French, Amazon Kindle store, so I was looking for ways to connect with French readers and came across this group.

The Novel's main character is a French, Templar Knight by the name of Gaspar De Rouse. Without giving too much away it does have several scenes set in France as well as Venice, Zurich and Maine, U.S.A.

I would love to converse with any of the group members about the book or anything else for that matter.I have included links to the Amazon.com listing where the book has been receiving some nice reviews also the link to the Amazon.fr store. I haven't sold a copy in France yet. I would love for someone here to be the first. :)

I recently put the book on sale for a limited time for just $0.99. You can also contact me through my Author page here on Goodreads. Thanks and looking forward to being part of the group.

Sounds interesting, Vernon. I bought it in Kindle version. I would have loved to be your first customer in France, but it wasn't 99 cents here! I look forward to reading your work.

[Vernon]

Thanks, Mo. At least I know someone in France bought it so I think you earned the title of first in France. Enjoy the book and I look forward to hearing from you with thoughts and critiques.

Hello Vernon, I started reading your book in an online sample, but the 99 cent deal couldn't be beat, so I purchased it for my Kindle. Although I haven't gotten too far "in" yet, I like the premise.

[Vernon]

Thanks, Mo. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Just got to Florida, for the winter, from Maine. I'll be finishing up the followup to Slow Boat over the next three months.

If you can feel free to leave a review here at Goodreads and on Amazon. Every little bit helps. :)
