Newest novel now available.

[Recluse]

We got the ebook and print edition proofs back ten days ago, reviewed them, approved them and sent 'em back. The book is now in distribution and available at most (major) online bookstores. It is not in brick & mortar stores due to how much that raises the purchase price.

Here are a few links to where it's available and selling:

Barnes & Noble (barnesandnoble.com) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/false-gods-jd-kinman/1120893215?ean=9781503377837 Print and Nook version

Apple iTunes store https://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/j.d.-kinman/id520338865?mt=11

Amazon.com (print edition for now, we're still waiting on the Kindle version to get listed. It was delivered a week ago, but hasn't been listed) http://www.amazon.com/False-Gods-J-D-Kinman/dp/1503377830/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418837705&sr=8-1&keywords=j.d.+kinman

For European members http://www.sainsburysebooks.co.uk/book/False-Gods-JD-Kinman/8028935

A lot of copies of Above Reproach were sold in the Netherlands and Bol.com picked up False Gods. http://www.bol.com/nl/p/false-gods/9200000037297045/

I'll post here when the Kindle edition is available. I also have an initial limited print run being delivered to me that if anyone wants a signed copy, they can PM me here and we can trade info. The copies are scheduled to arrive on Christmas Eve, so the earliest I'll be able to get any sent out will be around the end of the year.

Congrats JD!! Looks like it's going to be another good read. I'm however reading ALL my books via iPad/Kindle and I will anxiously await that format.
Again congrats and thanks for the entertainment.

[Wayne Smith]

Thanks, JD. I assume you are feeling better and up to speed? I am also waiting for the Kindle version.

[Springfield]

I like paper books, so I'll pm y about a signed version to go with my other one from the first book.

[waksupi]

I think it is safe now to tell people this is a great book, moves right along, with action pretty much end to end!
(I had a sneak peek.)

[USAFrox]

I'm eagerly awaiting the Kindle version. I can't afford the space/weight anymore for real books, so I'm doing the electronic stuff nowadays. I thoroughly enjoyed your first one, though.

[GaryN]

I like your books JD. Now maybe you can rest a little. I can't wait to get one.

[troyboy]

Waiting on the Kindle version.

[BruceB]

My order will be en route to Amazon in the next few minutes. I like my books in physical paper, so I can carry them around, put them in bookcases, etc etc.

BRAVO!!!!

[MaryB]

Eagerly waiting for the kindle version, lets me carry a couple hundred books on my phone and tablet

[Bad Water Bill]

I read the first part and enjoyed every page and you will also.

Now to find what we have to do to get another signed copy of a book I will loose many hours of sleep till I finally turn the last page just like ABOVE REPROACH.

Congratulations JD from a dirty OLD man.[smilie=s:

Just got an e-mail this morning that the first shipment of print edition books have shipped. I figure they'll be here the day or so after Christmas.

If anyone wants a print edition personally signed to them, PM me with an address and who/how you want it signed.

BWB--yours is on the house for the tireless and incredible work you did helping get the Land of Lincoln in with the rest of America regarding concealed carry. I'm sure I still have your mailing address around here somewhere, but go ahead and PM it to me again. I can't always ready Girty's scribbling.

Still waiting on Amazon to list the Kindle. This is a busy time of year for them. All other domestic online book retailers have it listed, but Amazon outsells everyone else by an huge margin. Will keep everyone posted.

:coffee:

[shooterg]

Just ordered from Amazon. Couldn't wait ! I'm sure it's gonna be a good read.

Another hit I'm sure, best of luck with it,--- You deserve it.

Nice!!

[troyboy]

Just bought both books for kindle.

[jcameron996]

I really enjoyed your last book. I bet this one will be just as good. I will be ordering the Kindle edition as soon as I get out where I have service on my phone. Thanks!

[MaryB]

Sweet! Just purchased it!

[Wayne Smith]

Thanks, JD. Just got it.

[blackthorn]

Done! Thanks! Merry Christmas.

[cephas53]

Enjoyed your last book. New one just came in via kindle. Have a good one!

[MaryB]

Had a hard time putting it down last night and getting some sleep. Great read so far.

[snuffy]

I just bought, (I THINK I DID), in the kindle version, but amazon is dragging it's feet delivering it. I'll give them until tomorrow morning then itch-bay. I have no doubts it will be as good as above reproach, one of those can't put down.

[MaryB]

Left a great Amazon review!

[MaryB]

Did you tell it the right kindle to be delivered to? Mine go to my phone and tablet...

Those that ordered signed print editions. . . they came in, they're signed, packaged and addressed. They'll be going to the post office on Wednesday and en route to you.

[snuffy]

I had to call Amazon to help figure out that somehow the wi-fi link from my router had come uncoupled. Once that was fixed, they re-sent the Kindle edition so it came on.

Family is doting on me during my recovery from the CABG surgery, so I'd much rather talk to them. Today, my son and his fiance will be here, to take care of dad. They left me alone last night for the first time. I can't wait to start reading it.

Let me know if you have problems getting it and I'll e-mail it to you. I have the Mobi, epub and PDF files for all three formats of ebooks.

In the meantime, RECOVER and do what your family tells you to do in regards to recovering. Been there. Almost all of 2013.

I used to buy paper backs, then I looked at the box after box of them and how many times I had moved them and decided that it was time to go digital with my library. Currently have over 400 books on my tablet and about 200 on my phone. Both are linked so I can stop reading on one and pick it up on the other right where I left off.

[TJF1]

I just got mine downloaded to my Kindle.
I won't get to start reading it until I finish book 5 of the Going Home series by A. American.

I bought the most basic Kindle there was a couple of years ago. I did so only to get a feel for formatting and style because my first novel, Above Reproach, was going to initially launch in ebook format first. Earlier that year, I was on a flight to Phoenix and the guy sitting next to me had a Kindle and let me fool around with it. I thought it was neat, but that was about it. I had my Apple laptop going and connected the plane's wi-fi and though that was the cat's meow.

But a few months later at the strong suggestion of my editor and a couple of writers I'd known for a long time, I purchased the basic Kindle model that has the little control key square at the bottom. It took maybe a day or two and I was immediately dialed in to just how handy and efficient an e-reader is compared to toting around a briefcase full of books.

I used to travel on business a lot and my least favorite places in the world were large busy airports and hotels. A good book helps you suffer them in somewhat improved comfort. But if you got bored with one book, or finished it, you had to physically grab another one and that was just more bulk and weight to carry around while walking miles and miles from one terminal to the next in the Atlanta Hartsfields and London Heathrows of the world.

Likewise after retiring from full-time work, the wife and I like to take the Cessna on trips and we're both avid readers. But small planes are greatly limited in how much they can carry. I can carry more books on my Kindle than what my airplane would be capable of holding, let alone getting off the ground with (due to weight). When I toss the Kindle in my flight bag, it's like tossing in a large portion of my library--and it still only weighs less than a pound.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the paper-white. Probably wait until next month when Amazon will put the (back) on sale for Valentine's Day.

Terry,

Thank you very much. Hearing (reading) feedback like just made my day, if not my year and we're only a couple of days into it.

I like the Paper White, with the lit screen. I like to read in bed, and when camping. It is a plus in a dimly lit room.

[MaryB]

I have a Samsung tablet, the 10.1, much bigger screen than a kindle.

[Recluse]

Probably (back)lit better, too.

Other than my Kindle and my wife's Kindle Fire, we're all Apple in our place. She has a mini-iPad and I've got a full-size iPad. Funny thing is, I prefer reading the e-versions of my magazines on the iPad, but when it comes to books--especially fiction--I absolutely prefer the Kindle.

*Shrug* No idea why that is other than maybe the "black & white-ness" of a Kindle reader makes me think more of a physical book? For sure I like the battery life on a Kindle better than I do on the iPads. . .

Who would've thought twenty years ago, even, that a bunch of us baby-boomers would be sitting around on a weekend evening chatting by way of computers and discussing which electronic device we prefer to read what traditionally has always been a paper & ink medium?

:coffee:

[MaryB]

I have always been into tech, sold the first personal computers the TRS-80's, in the 80's I was selling IBM XT's etc. Ham radio too.

[22-250ohio]

after reading this post last night I purchased Above Reproach and read the whole thing in one sitting. That is a great book. I couldn't put it down. cant wait to read the new one

[BrassMagnet]

This book has really grabbed me!

Now I have the first one, too!

[pjames32]

Ordered for Kindle. Looking forward to a good read.

WARNING----WARNING----WARNING

Purchasing this book WILL be hazardous to your health.

It WILL cause severe loss of sleep till you finally finish turning the last page.

Then comes the frustrating nerve wracking finger nail bighting time of waiting 2-4 years till the next book is published and it all begins again.

How do I know?

It happened to Girty and I (yes it is her favorite bed time story book) when we finally purchased "ABOVE REPROACH".

And now it is beginning all over again as WE read "FALSE GODS"

We indeed have our own Tom Clancey among us.

Thanks JD for another great read.

[Goatwhiskers]

A great read! A lot more twists and turns in this one. Funny thing is the ideas presented could well be a start to salvation of our country IF people would wake up and cooperate with each other. I'm afraid our "gimme" society precludes that, however. GW

[Recluse]

Your kindness and appreciation makes my day. Sorry this one took so long. Y'all can thank Bad Water Bill for helping get False Gods into publication--he and Girty nagged the hell out of me non stop to "get 'er done, JD!" LOL! :-P

If you enjoyed it, it would be helpful and appreciated if you took a moment to head over to Amazon.com and write a brief review of the book (http://www.amazon.com/False-Gods-J-D-Kinman/dp/1503377830/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420912748&sr=8-1&keywords=j.d.+kinman#customerReviews). There are some marketing efforts that will be beginning at the end of the month with my old alma mater (Texas Tech) and several of the Chambers of Commerce in some of the West Texas towns featured in the book.

For what it's worth, I'm presently working on three books right now. One is a silly first-person POV between an ill-tempered Texan and his two beloved dogs (Doberman and German Shepherd) that features a variety of short-stories from the dogs' perspective on subjects ranging from the GSD's first time on a boat and yakking over the gunwales to his first airplane flight with me and yakking in the backseat at 6,500' altitude to the Doberman getting neutered and his foul mood after discovering his "prides" were gone when I'd told him we were only taking him to the vet to have his cholesterol checked.

I had written a number of these for Dog World back in the mid-90s when we were living in Kansas City, and a publisher/editor there recently dug them back up and had the idea of putting them in a book. Fun, lighthearted, absolutely family safe stuff for a change.

The second book is the pilot for a series and will be entitled The Pride. It deals with a Vietnam veteran who came home and started a wildly successful horse breeding operation and ranch but whose only daughter and granddaughter were killed due to domestic violence. When the justice system failed the rancher because the son-in-law's family also had ample money to enact the "how much justice can you afford," the rancher turns the tables by employing a handful of "specialists" who have varying backgrounds ranging from the Israeli Mossad to Air Force combat controller teams to FBI HRT members to motorcycle gang members and even a couple of paroled ex-convicts.

As we used to say in my old agency, "Justice comes in many colors."

The third book will feature many of the characters of Above Reproach and False Gods. In it, the characters find themselves confronted with the corrupt political system that is today's American politics. They fight back.

The "dog book" is going along at its own pace. I'm editing some of the existing stories and reviewing old notes from twenty years ago on other fun incidents. There is no deadline for it, but I'm aiming for a release of mid-fall. For the pilot series book, mid to late summer is the goal. For the third book, early spring--and definitely before the political conventions start. . . if that gives you any clue as to more of the subject matter. ;)

Anxious for more. I'm on my second kindle, a paperwhite. Like the light and battery life. My wife was using her iPad til she tried my paperwhite. Now she has one too.

I'm gonna break down and order one. I'm still of that generation that grew up NOT touching television screens and windows and mirrors with your fingers lest your mama take a switch you. I was famous--or was that infamous--at the last two ad agencies that I was a big boss at for threatening to throw employees out the window (thirty stories up) if they touched my computer screen with their fingers and left fingerprints.

My iPad drives me insane because there are all these smudges constantly on it. I don't have a smart phone for that EXACT reason. My Kindle is the basic model with the little control square do-dad on the bottom and the little lengthwise buttons on the side you push to go forward or backward.

But now they're wearing out and my Kindle will skip forward two or three or six pages now and then and that drives me even crazier than fingerprints on a screen.

A friend of mine has the paper white Kindle and I was really impressed by how "brilliant" and readable it is--even if you have to use your finger on the screen to make things happen.

Guess I'll just stock up on lens cleaner and soft cotton wipes.

:coffee:

[waksupi]

The clear plastic sheets to cover the face of a Kindle are a good thing. Fingerprints don't seem to show up on that.

[pjames32]

JD-my first kindle was like yours. Finally would not download anymore so I moved up. I'm with you on fingerprints. Spend a lot of time cleaning screens.

So I reckon I need to find some tactical anti-fingerprint screens for these devices.

Pushing buttons seems so much simpler. Life for me will be over as I know when the dreaded day comes that I have to have a smart phone with touch screen.

SIGH

Girty is now sleeping soundly every night since I can read her another page from your NEW book every night.

Sadly I can not sleep till I will turn the very last page.

Great book sir

Thanks
