    update:

    Time Box breaks into the top 100 Young Adult category.

    considering the vast sea of e-book content at Amazon Kindle, I think that's pretty good. (of course, what do I know ; )

    Time Box is moving on up in the UK:

    #82 in Kindle Store > Books > Teen & Young Adult > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Time Travel

    by the way, the book's primary reader category is adult, although, for some reason, it's displayed as young adult.
    I've discussed this with Kindle and even they aren't sure the cause.

    which is okay, I guess. Time Box was written for all ages.

    Since first things are always first, here’s a big thank you to those who have purchased a copy of the book, Time Box.
    I hope you all find this twisted tale a fun read.

    Now good friends and neighbors, I’d like to provide an incentive for more of you to discover the book’s adventures.
    I’ve figured out a way to deliver on the promise of providing Time Box for no cost.
    The book is now exclusively available at Amazon Kindle. (yes, I have buckled : )
    Doing so allows a FREE download for a promotional period covering 5 days: this Thursday-Monday, Nov.12-16. (PST, USA)
    After that, the original $0.99 price will resume.
    So to make it official, you and yours are invited to get a free ebook copy of the book.
    On the same page download a Kindle e-reader, if you need one.
    If you are not ebook savvy, this is your best chance to try it out.
    The Kindle app versions include a desktop reader, if you’re like me and don’t own a smart device.
    Kindly, as a soft form of payment when you’re finished and have a few minutes, please leave a review and your rating.

    So, come one, come all TOTers, to see what all the fuss is about:
    this rambling tale of curiosity, courage, discovery, and perseverance, plus lots of other hairy stuff.
    Feel free to give the link a click and check it out.

    As an avid reader of all things incredible, I find your work catches the reader right away and holds their attention for many fantastical hours. Such a professional job jimmer. I thought I saw the hairs move more than once.

    TS, I'm so glad you enjoyed the ride, as bumpy as it is.
    Now, using one of above links, would you take a moment to plant your review and rating at Amazon KIndle?
    That would really make my day.
    Thanks again for your attention and kind words.

    Lastly, but not least, today kicks-off the free promotion.
    I welcome all TOT friends and neighbors to grab a copy and see what the fuss is about.

    Good for You! Plan on getting it one of these days.
    Have thought about writing a small book a couple of times...
    Because my eyes are so bad and some of the silly things I do...my family howling at the process or results and a subject that may not go over but like a turd in a punch bowl, being titled something like..."Being Hit upon by Amish"; Both being comical in nature.
    Course, this may be comical in my own little mind....teeheehee.
    Congrats to YOU!

    windancer,

    we all have stories rattling inside our heads.

    the tough part if getting motivated for a sustained period.
    it took a year and half to get it out of my head.

    make your notes. lay it out. create your story's arc.

    and when the moment strikes, be prepared and just get into it.

    as for my tome, it's still a free download for the rest of today, monday, until midnight (pacific time, USA).
    after that, back to the 0.99 price.

    I'd love for you to give it a shot and perhaps help motivate you...

    The first review is in:

    Time Box, by Jimmer Hardy, brings an enjoyably, unique cast of characters whose lives become forever changed as legend meets reality.
    A profound discovery, unraveling millions of years of evolution, has the potential to set mankind in a new direction.
    This is one bouncy, fun ride.
    The author’s cinematic writing style repeatedly delivers dense, mindful, and colorful imagery
    (albeit, 'cryptid-ally' written), revealing answers to some of the greatest secrets of our forgotten past…all found within the darkest corners of the Time Box.
    After reaching out from a netherworld, the crazy events leading to contact with the human race will have the reader repeating the words, “Hold on tight!"

    This book’s well written, timeless message is eloquently captured, with a climactic ending I didn’t see coming.
    I would like to recommend this novel for all ages, and for all levels of curiosity as a most enjoyable and thought provoking read.
    I will definitely be seeking other works from this author.

    Sincerely,
    David (Florida)


    When you have a few, I'd really appreciate if those TOTers who downloaded a free copy would lend your voice, review and rating.
    My thanks, in advance.

    A important message from the entire editorial staff of the Kindle e-book, Time Box:

    To all our TOT friends,
    please have an interesting, fun and ultra hairy 2016.


    The latest 5-star review is in, this time from
    accomplished author and editor, Cate Hogan.

    Rich in Detail and Depth
    By Cate Hogan on December 30, 2015
    I'm always drawn to books that are written by authors who have a masterful grasp of their chosen topic.
    I love detail, and layers of information; stories that dig far beneath the surface.
    This novel takes us right back to some of the key questions faced by humanity,
    within a fictitious framework that keeps the exploration fast-paced and intriguing.
    I enjoyed it and highly recommend.
