That isn’t considered advertising or spam, that is a special circumstance in which every person here will likely take pride for having one of our own manage to achieve. Writers, anything you say about your own work is never considered inappropriate self-promotion, quite to the contrary. As is written in Hezekiah chapter 4, “If that man hath a horn, and he bloweth not his own horn, wherewithal shall it be blown? spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Our own Damien Broderick, who we count as one of us with great pride, has posted privately:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Hope it's okay to do a bit of shameless self-promotion:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>The near-future science fiction novel POST MORTAL SYNDROME, by me and my wife Barbara Lamar, is now available in trade paperback print:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Post-Mortal-Syndrome-Science-Fiction/dp/1434435598/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314645294&sr=1-1">http://www.amazon.com/Post-Mortal-Syndrome-Science-Fiction/dp/1434435598/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314645294&sr=1-1</a>><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>An earlier version was serialized on the website of the Aussie popular science magazine COSMOS, and got some 100,000 hits.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We tried to do the impossible thing for a thriller aimed at the mass<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>market: depict scientific developments and paradigm change in a<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>*positive* light, and the enemies of life extension and human enhancement as the deathists they are.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>(Incidentally, the book is dedicated to Aubrey de Grey.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Have fun!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Damien Broderick<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
