Flying WiresI am proud to announce that Flying Wires is now for sale as a paperback! Printed at Lulu.com, the 326-page book is now available for purchase online. Lulu.com has excellent turnaround from order placement to delivery, so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy the flight! Click here to order your copy today.

From the Lulu.com web site:

Currently, the only novel written about ultralight flying, this romance with aviation and finding love the second time around, will carry the reader to new heights. Engaging dialog and descriptive narration reveal the world of ultralight pilots and instructors. The author accurately presents the joy and the drama of flight through the experiences of the men and the heroine, the only woman pilot at a rural turf-airstrip in North Carolina. By opening this book, the reader takes the pilot seat and straps in for an exciting flight!

Flying Wires has been available as a PDF since December 2008. The Kindle edition became available in March 2009. Here are some comments I’ve received from readers:

This is a real page turner!Arty Trost, Ultralight Adventurer

Just wanted you to know that I finished reading your book and enjoyed it a lot! – Jim Mason, Pilot

I loved it…. Congrats. When is the next one due? – Ricardo Trujillo, Pilot

Laurel resident hopes online book sales soar

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

I was recently interviewed for a profile article about me and my novel, Flying Wires. Click here for a JPEG of Timmy Gelles’ article in the 11 June 2009 issue of The Gazette or here for a link to the online version. Only recently, have I had the time to do some marketing of Flying Wires and I’m quite pleased that this opportunity came along.

In the meantime, my Examiner.com articles and my work for NAMI Howard County are keeping me quite busy. Now that the first phase of the NAMI contract is complete, I will soon be working about 10 hours per week for the next twelve months on the second phase.

I’ve been asked to write an article for the Maryland Writers’ Association blog and newsletter “Pen in Hand” about my publishing experience with Amazon.com’s Kindle format. Apparently, I may be the first Association member who’s gone the Kindle route and my outline of the process would be helpful to other members. Once the article is posted, I’ll include a link to it in a post from this blog.

Flying Wires for Kindle and . . . iPhone

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Flying Wires is now available for download to your Kindle, Kindle 2 or iPhone [also iPod Touch]. That’s right. After a February announcement about Amazon.com’s Kindle 2, the e-books available for the Kindle products are now available for the iPhone. Perhaps Amazon.com is responding to the demand for the popular e-book format to be available on other media players besides the Kindle and Kindle 2. In this struggling economy, companies often fall back to the “whatever sells” game plan. For Kindle and Kindle for iPhone owners, take a sneak peak  at Flying Wires. [See link for "Try it free."] Don’t have a Kindle or iPhone? Click here to see a sample from one of the chapters.
