The Lincoln Stalker - Steve Akley - 05-27-2014 01:05 PM
Hi,
I am new to this board. I just published an eBook which is available on Kindle, iBooks and most other electronic formats for only 99 cents.
It is entitled The Lincoln Stalker and I would love to get some feedback from this group about it.
Here is a link to this short story on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1sXYp9D
I look forward to being part of the group.
Steve

Welcome, Steve, we're glad to have you joining the forum. I am an old-foggy who has not yet gone to Kindle or ibooks. Your reference to the journal from an Indiana man who knew Lincoln is intriguing, however. Any chance you can give us a brief synopsis of who this man was? I don't want to steal customers from Amazon, so just a few details to whet our appetites?

Hello, Steve and welcome to our Board! We're a great group and I'm sure you'll enjoy it here -
Would love to know more about your book!

L Verge & BettyO:
Thank you for the kind words and welcome. Also, thank you for the interest in my book.
The story is a fiction work, though it takes details from the life of Lincoln which an admirer would appreciate. The story fills in some of the gaps in knowledge and mystery about our 16th president.
The end result is a fun adventure. It should be noted that if you do not do Kindle or iBooks you can still read it. My short story is also available on a website called SmashWords. There you can read it online or download a PDF file. The cost is still only 99 cents there.

Yes there is. If you have an iPad it is available in the iBooks store. You can even download a free Kindle app as well if you have an iPad so that works too.
It is also available via a site called SmashWords. There you can download it and read it online in your browser or even as a PDF document. Here is a link to that site: http://bit.ly/1nsAK3S
It is a short story, just about 40 pages or so. As such I haven't made it into a printed book.
It is 99 cents in all formats.
Thanks,
Steve
