Post comment:
Another CC science fiction novel published this year is Mars Girl by Jeff Garrity (yours truly), available for free download on this site. The book's site is www.marsgirl.us
Here's a review excerpt:
Mars Girl is reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut's early satire ... [It's] a bizarre, satirical romp that offers a glimpse into the media and politics of a future that is probably nearer than most would like to admit.
-Bill Castanier, City Pulse, Lansing, Michigan
Jeff Garrity
Why don't you publish it here Jeff if it's CC ?
This way I'll add it to the list and it'll be directly available for Kindle users (http://www.feedbooks.com/help/kindle#guide) or iPhone users (http://www.feedbooks.com/help/iphone) on their devices.
Hello Hadrien. I came across your Lists and have a couple of story suggestions that I thought you would be interested...thought possibly would like to add these to your Lists.
Creative Commons Science-Fiction
Scarface's Burden
Light Years Ahead of His Time
He'll Always Have Paris
Creative Commons Fantasy
He'll Always Have Paris
Probability Angels
All 5 are short stories by Joseph Devon. I also started a list called "Modern Day American Authors". If you would like any of your stories added here that would be fine by me...just let me know the titles and authors and I will add them.
Regards,
Charles Pasadena
I added the books that you mentioned but I can't find Probability Angels, are you sure that it was uploaded and published on Feedbooks ?
For modern day american authors, try this link, you'll find plenty of them: http://www.feedbooks.com/userbooks/recent?lang=en
Thanks Hadrien. I didn't notice this post until now but already saw that you added the stories. Hope you got a chance to read some of them. I will check out the American authors link you mentioned. I actually decided not to upload Probability Angels just yet. I will let you know when I do.
Charles
