I've been away but for good reason. My fifth novel, Crimson Son: Motherland, will be released next week and I've been putting on the finishing touches. As a self pub that often means a lot of work. Final edits, book formatting (ePub and print), typography for the cover, getting the launch day contests and marketing in place - my Steemit account has gotten dusty (...dry?).
I still believe in the underlying Steemit model and think it's the most innovative means of sharing content out there. And blockchain tech is clearly here to stay. Unfortunately, not everyone has jumped on board.
Currently there isn't a great way to purchase my books with crypto. Since the plot of my latest release revolves around a fictional cryptocurrency, I figured I needed to correct that deficiency.
Sure, you can use bitcoin to buy Amazon gift cards and purchase books that way or a service like Purse.io. However, that feels like a violation of the core concept of not needing a middle man to make the transaction. So, as an experiment, I've added Bitcoin purchases for two of the titles in my Crimson Son series (the first is available for free).
The Bitcoin purchases are only available on the series webpage at http://www.crimsonson.com and not on my main site. If "Mr. Robot meets the Avengers" sounds like it might be your thing, check it out and let me know what you think in the comments!
