In Delta 7, my first novel, I tell a fictional story based on my life experiences as an F-111 fighter pilot and an Air Force Attaché. I’ll put you right in the cockpit of an F-111 streaking through the skies on the way to attack an airfield in northern Africa.

Next, you’ll experience being kidnapped and forced to fight with Colombia’s vicious FARC guerilla movement. Finally, you’ll be drawn into a strange, secret, and violent world of drug trafficking. Your friends are getting killed, and you don’t know who you can trust. Over time, you find that some of your former military friends may be involved in a plot to smuggle drugs into the United States.

Hi John,
Read your comments on selling e-books at your site in the CreateSpace community. Question: You only mentioned selling PDF through your site. What do you do about Kindle, Nook, etc., other device users? Can they all read PDF now? I’ll look through your site more to see if I can spot the answer, but would be nice to connect with you.
I write suspense novels – one traditional and now one through CS. Hoping for more. My site is http://www.JimMagwood.com if you’d care to look.
Best,
Jim
Hello Jim,
Thanks for getting in touch.
I wrote that Createspace authors’ forum message quite a while back, so it’s a bit dated. I took the PDF section off of my website about a year ago since I only had a couple of “takers!”
Also, to be honest, I was a bit worried about the process I had established. If you’re going to offer something like that over the Internet, you must be prepared to supply the file quickly… i.e. automatically. I put lots of caveats in my site about how it might take me a while to fulfil the order; but still didn’t feel very comfortable with the process. Fortunately, (or maybe it’s unfortunately) I only sold two books in that way.
Right now the only eBook format I’m using is the Kindle format. It’s also available through my Outskirts Press publisher; but they’ve yet to sell a single electronic copy. So basically, the book is only available through Amazon.com in electronic form. I’m planning on getting the book onto Barnes&Noble and iTunes; but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Good luck with your book!
Cheers,
John
