Ta for the suggestions. Blurbs are a headache. They're supposed to catch one's interest without giving too much away but they have to give the reader an idea of what he's in for. An art in itself...
I'm finally publishing my novel "Immortelle".

Cracking stuff as usual @Justin Swanton -hope a few are tuning in, and that this reaches the big audience it deserves sooner rather than later. Thanks
Thanks Brian. Tell me if you spot the big catch before the reveal. It's worth a private island in the Pacific. ;-)

They're all aliens, no wait ...Jason is his own brother ...Mars doesn't exist ...he's doing community service and control is the case officer ...time travel ...space bingo. I give up. Don't tell me
No, no, no, no, no, no and I won't.

Good stuff -I reckon it's working well in episodes, and the 2 * 2 gives a nice block of text to take in; I hadn't given any thought to a reveal ...ya have me wondering now
Available on Amazon yet?
I was thinking of posting the entire thing on the website first and then releasing it on Amazon. Should I cut to the chase and upload it to Amazon now? That would mean voiding the offer of a Pacific island for anyone who spots the twist.
Well, if you interest people enough to buy your book, at least they have the option. Then again, there's a marketing technique in scarcity.
Ok let me think about it. I'm not really good at marketing. I posted the book on a website because Andy Weir did the same thing and it seemed to work for him.Well, if you interest people enough to buy your book, at least they have the option. Then again, there's a marketing technique in scarcity.

You've inspired me to go the same route on publishing (just registered theturdprophecy.com). I reckon having a version out there is a good start. The paper method can always follow ...and in your case, it will

Up to chapter 12, great story. I like the way it is made of familiar things yet that doesn't reveal what happens next.
I've been to your website. Very nicely done.You've inspired me to go the same route on publishing (just registered theturdprophecy.com). I reckon having a version out there is a good start. The paper method can always follow ...and in your case, it will

Hard to say without spoilers but I thought it was from the early double cross ...thar's a ways to go so that's not my final answer
And chapter 19 - 20 now up for your enjoyment. I'll be out of town until Tuesday and I'll post the next couple of chapters then. Anyone still interested in those beautiful private islands?
As a BTW, the big twist comes in the next two chapters. If you want that piece of volcanic real estate in the Pacific you have until then to say what it is. There are now enough clues to work it out. Go Sherlock!
