Description Conceptual art of Rayan Thorn, a main character of my YA sci-fi mermaid novel OCEAN OF EMPTINESS.

OCEAN OF EMPTINESS is available for $0.99 on:
AMAZON:[link]
Barnes & Noble:[link]
iBooks:[link]

Here's a short summary of OCEAN:

What do you get when you cross a runaway rich kid, a space mermaid, and a stuck-up teen commander with a bunch of pirates in space? ABSOLUTE CHAOS. Throw in a little hint of romance, a few starship battles, and a lot of yelling, and you've got yourself an intergalactic tale. Think Star Wars meets Little Mermaid meets Treasure Planet.

Thank you so much!! Haha, Nick is everyone's favorite... including mine!

If you get a moment, would you mind leaving a quick review of the book on the site from which you got Ocean? I'd very much appreciate it! If not, no worries! Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed it!

You're welcome
Nick FTW !!!!

I really like Nick cause i feel bad for him, having to do all the work and not being appreciated by the captain
When he stood up to him i almost cheered out loud
I also like the relationship with him and Rayan, from hating each other's guts to becoming friends

I'll be sure to look on my kindle because that's where i read it on
Once again, a great book that i'll be sure to read again

The only other option at the moment is to get the free Kindle or Nook app for your computer and download the book to there. I'm looking for print options, but right now it's only in ebook format.

Looking through your Ocean of Emptiness gallery again. Saw him. He's a fine lookin' man. Ergo, I'm compelled to comment:
"That is a fine lookin' man."

Thanks! And actually, it's a photomanipulation, so sort of yes, sort of no.

Since I'm super curious and excited, how the kiriban going?

Just to clarify you can't actually by this in a book format right? Because I'm really interested in it but I don't have a kindle or anything. If there's not an actual book format then does that mean you can just download it to the computer? Sorry, I'm kind of computer retarded.

ChristyTortland In reply to jaina-anne [2011-08-02 22:33:16 +0000 UTC]

At the moment, it's only in ebook format - but you can download the book to your computer using the free Kindle app. I don't have a kindle, either, but I just use my computer.

However, I'm hoping to get the book in print in the near future...

jaina-anne In reply to ChristyTortland [2011-08-02 23:04:04 +0000 UTC]

I think I'll wait for the print format then because I prefer reading a book in my hand instead of on the computer. Either way, I'm waiting excitedly. :}

ChristyTortland In reply to jaina-anne [2011-08-02 23:12:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm honestly not sure when the print format will come out... Although I know what you mean. I prefer reading in print as well.

I understand, I'm in the slow process of trying to get my novels to acceptable format so I can start trying to publish them. :}
