It's good people, read the damn thing already! It's less than the price of a value menu at McDonalds, and will do more for your brain!
You may want to consider serializing your book; essentially posting a chapter once a week, preferably on a weekend, on this thread. The benefits of this approach are: 1) you will directly target a relevant readership, posting a chess novel on a chess website, maximizing your chances of securing interested readers, a certain percentage of who will buy the book, 2) providing these sample chapters for free will entice people to give your book a try and may help you land more reviews on Amazon and 3) by posting a chapter once a week you will regularly bump the thread up to the top of the discussion forum, maximizing visibility, and targeting a weekend makes sense as this is when people will generally have the most free time to read a book chapter.
I'll check it out. Online poker and chess are my favorite games. Dan Harrington is my favorite. Chess master and World Series of poker champion.
Hi Derek, just finished your book, I enjoyed it a lot. I will have to check out some of your other books

Check him out!
After a *ton* of work and a lot of money spent, my novella Gamble is available for download on Amazon.
It is the story of Sam Horton, a young chess hustler who meets Mortimer Blackwell, an elderly gentleman who offers him a gift like no other.
Sam moves to Las Vegas, NV, and takes the chess and poker world by storm. But at what price? When he meets and falls for Katie, a young and lovely redhead, things spiral out of control.
The fast paced, action packed climax of this story will surely leave you wanting more.
This is not a horror story, but it’s a little eerie in general. The reason it’s priced at $2.99 and not $.99 is because it’s over twice as long as my regular stuff, and the cost of editing was pretty high.
I feel it’s well worth three bucks, if you have it to spare. Check it out if you can! :)
