Please pre-order my novel now to give it a push before launch!

My novel is ready and finished and available now for pre-order for ebook and order to ship for the paperback version.

Why pre-order?

Ebooks are made visible on Amazon and iTunes especially based on popularity algorithms. Items that launch without a pre-sale period launch at zero. That places them at the lowest visibility for others to find. When you pre-order my novel, you will help push it higher on the algorithm for future people to find it. That's why I'm launching the novel as a pre-order now. It will become available May 18, but you will be able to download the preview on iTunes when you purchase it in advance of the launch.

Here are the links to pre-order:


From the Foreword by Scott K. Andrews:

Jim’s debut novel is as funny, thoughtful, surprising and well crafted as the songs I’ve been enjoying for 18 years. Its focus on community life and social interaction reminded me of the great Kim Stanley Robinson, especially the Three Californias trilogy. The examination of social structures and the tension between dystopian and utopian models brought to mind Iain M Banks’ politically charged Culture novels. Particularly impressive is his exploration of the interface between humanity and technology - it is timely, but nonetheless original enough to stand out in a field currently obsessed with the issue, and that’s no mean feat.

But although Jim’s book reminds me of some true greats, his unique voice shines through in the telling, making it far more than a collection of assembled themes and textures from other works. This delightful book is the creation of a huge talent and an important new voice in sci-fi. And there are sentences in here that made me grimace with envy, wishing I had written them.

I’m jealous that you have this terrific book ahead of you.


Thank you - I hope you enjoy the book!

- Jim
