Here's the deal: Years ago, at this point, I began writing a story about a failed musician (I know, I know) who goes back to his home town feeling completely broken and depressed.

The story, which became a novel really, turned quite dark and for the longest time I could not find a fitting ending to it. So, it sat in my google drive sleeping, waiting for inspiration to slap me across the face.

As it often happens with new year resolutions, I said to myself I would finish projects this year, not start new ones. And so, I did.

With the aid of modern tools, I was able to correct the grammar and proof read the short story, enough to feel comfortable in releasing it to the world.

I created an account on Amazon, and released what I hope will be my first book on Kindle.

The Direct Link to the Amazon Copy is officially available for download right now.

You said hive tokens?

I figured I could spend some money in ads, attempting to get the ball rolling with the book. It's an option and one that I might try. But, I figured I could try to run a small initiative on Hive and do the same.

If you purchase Hunting the Monster and leave a review. All you need to do is past a screenshot of your review here, and I will send you 3 Hive tokens to your account.

As you would imagine, I began setting some tokens aside for this little initiative, but I suspect there won't be that many takers here--Since a lot of hivers hate Amazon, but that's a whole separate issue.

That being said, as much as I'm doubting myself writing this out, I figured there's no harm in trying. Lot's of people with Prime accounts have unused book credits, and thus they would be basically trading an unused credit for three hive tokens. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday.
