I 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

A Kindle book on iPhone
Thanks to JR, a fellow cyber author and publisher, I’ve come across another article about publishing and reading via Kindle, Sony, Blackberry, PC, and other electronic readers. Peter Svensson’s August 15 article Phones, PC’s put e-books within reach of Kindle-less focuses on the popularity of reading from paperless media and the technology that’s responsible for it. Only a few years ago, publishing for portable electronic readers and PC’s was a road less traveled. According to Svensson’s article, it’s hard to keep new e-books down; sales are beginning to climb. Intrepid entrepreneurs turn paper manuscripts into cybertext as quickly as the new software appears and just as importantly, readers are logging on in ever increasing numbers.

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.

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.
Click Kindle for additional information about this product; and for Kindle for iPhone.

My novel, Flying Wires, is mentioned in this week’s issue of the Howard County Times and Laurel Leader newspapers. In his column, John Hayes highlights the books published by four members of the Savage Writers’ Circle. The writers meet at the Savage, Maryland library on the second Monday of each month. John – also an accomplished writer – has had poems published and a couple of his plays performed. Read about these five writers’ accomplishments here.
