My Armenia novel, “An Excess of Nationalism”, is now available in paperback and kindle. Paperback is best value ($8.95), I personally would never buy a kindle and can’t read kindle books. I need to feel the paper, smell the pages, and then place a book I love on my shelf where I can see it and remember it.
Joel D. Hirst is a novelist and a playwright. His most recently released work is "Dreams of the Defeated: A Play in Two Acts" about a political prisoner in a dystopian regime. His novels include "I, Charles, From the Camps" about the life of a young man in the African camps and "Lords of Misrule" about the making and unmaking of a jihadist in the Sahara. "The Lieutenant of San Porfirio" and its sequel "The Burning of San Porfirio" are about the rise and fall of socialist Venezuela (with magic).
The hardcover edition arrived three days ago and Amazon did a professional job on the printing and binding. I just purchased the Kindle edition for $0.99 and will add it to my eLibrary. Thank you for not using DRM. As I mentioned previously, supporting DRA 30 years ago was one of me biggest mistakes; I thought I was supporting the intellectual property rights of authors, and not allowing Amazon to create a vertical monopoly. I attribute this error to youth and inexperience. In our newly enlightened world, using the wrong pronoun or offending the wrong god, will get you book banned. They can burn me0 with my paper books, my eLibrary will be a LITTLE more difficult to erase.
