As I’m beginning to introduce the re-issue of my novel, Self-Portrait of Someone Else, into the big, wide world via blog, video, email, social networks and whatever else comes up, I want anyone interested to be able to read a sizeable chunk of the book. Just as you might when browsing a bookstore.And for free.
And yesyesyes, if they/you likey, buy the sucker.
Previously, I’ve put up two stand-alone story excerpts on this blog. You can also read/download those excerpts here at Hidden People.
Today I’m posting the first 70 pages of Self-Portrait of Someone Else (out of 244 pgs) in pdf. This way you can download the excerpt right to your hard disc or eReader—if it supports pdf files—and have at it during your grand and roomy leisure.
Here’s the link, along with that wondrous American word that sends you on your way, as though to a tasty meal: enjoy!)– Self-Portrait of Someone Else – first 70 pgs
PS
Oh! You want to see the suspense-thriller bookie-trailer-type thing? Lucky, lucky you, just happen to have the link HERE–THE VIDEO.

I’m using a rather chatty, throw-away style talking about this rather serious, intense book that got a lot of good reviews on its initial release and which I’ll bring up at another time, but using this chatty-shatty tone can happen when I feel I’m getting into buy-marketing-promoting-show-off mode; so I cover me up.

First 70 pages of Self-Portrait of Someone Else — online & free
Friday, February 12th, 2010Vincent Eaton does his first blog
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009This first blog is giving you, O Visitor, the lay of land of what you will find here.
NOTE ON MARCH 26, 2010 — AS THIS BLOG AS EVOLVED, THE CATEGORIES SPOKEN OF BELOW HAVE BEEN MODIFIED & SIMPLIFIED INTO WHAT IS NOW REFLECTED IN THE BLOG POSTS…
My Writing.
My fiction, plays, ebooks, multimedia, humor, autobiography, audio/podcasting…
My Publishing.
How and what my own independent company is doing, what’s going on there, what’s coming up, what you can to buy, what you can get free (lots).
Images & Performance.
My videos, acting and theater work.
Noises in the House.
Short self-contained autobiography/stories
The Rest of the Blah-Blah.
Whatever doesn’t fit in those four categories, will find a clambering life here. Like this blog post.
Intensions/instincts
While these are my intentions, things can change quicker than a famished kitten going after it’s mother’s nipple, so my real intention here is to follow my instincts. And what comes up, comes up.
On Posting.
I won’t be posting ten times a day. As necessary is the vague enough fallback position. Twice a week sounds reasonable. Maybe three times once in a while, again, only as necessary. This week, five, defining a bit more extensively what to expect in each of my categories.
On Shorter Noises
Other shorter noises I make can find a better, more temporary life on my Facebook and Twitter posts.
There.
First post done.
