I’ve got a link at the top and on the side, and here.

I officially “approved” the book last Wednesday, and that’s when it became available on CreateSpace. That also let me place my first order, which will be here on Monday, April 6th. Since then Amazon has slowly been building my product page. At first the only way to find it was searching for the ISBN, and then the next day you could find it by searching for my name. Then they added the product description, and finally today it’s available to be ordered. As of this posting there is still no cover image, but I’m hoping that is updated soon.

A search for my name on the main Amazon site ranks me 4th, and if you search books I come up 2nd. A search for “Terra Nova” brings in over 3,000 results, and I’m not in the top 100. A search for “Terra Nova the Search” and I come up number 1! That’s all sorted by relevance, which is the default search term. If you switch it to bestselling I disappear, which I assume is because I haven’t sold any on Amazon yet. I’m curious to see how my search rankings change over time.

Like I mentioned before, I’ve got 30 books coming in on Monday, and about 10 of those are already spoken for. If you’d like me to hold one please tell me. Otherwise, you can pick this up at Amazon! I’m sure I’ll make many more pathetic pleas in the future, but Amazon reviews are VERY welcome. Thanks to everyone who has been following me on this journey. I appreciate the support more than you can imagine.

Update: Picture is up! Woo hoo!

It could take a few weeks to be available on Amazon, but in the meantime they can be ordered directly from the printer, CreateSpace, who is owned by Amazon.

Amazon accounts don’t work at CreateSpace, so you’ll need to create a new account, and there also isn’t free shipping at CreateSpace. To make up for that, I’ve got a discount code to take $2 off your order, which should make the shipping costs minimal. This code will expire once the book is available on Amazon.

Terra Nova: The Search

$2 off code: 5VZEJMVQ

I’ve placed an order for 30 books myself, which I expect will be here by the end of next week. If you’d like to reserve one of those 30 books, please let me know and I will hold one for you. Otherwise, if you don’t expect to see me anytime soon, you can order one for yourself from CreateSpace! When it’s available at Amazon I’ll post that here.

Update: Discount code has expired. You can buy it from Amazon now!
