PREFACE
This is the first time I have released this novel under a creative commons license. Since 1991, when I first wrote this novel, I have: submitted the manuscript to traditional publishers, released it as shareware, posted some, and all, of the text to various websites and news groups, self published via POD and ebook, and finally posted it on my blog alongside adsense adverts.

However, as the internet marketers would say, my efforts to monetize my content have met with limited success. With "successes" such as spending $300 in advertising in order to sell 8 POD books and earning $3 a month in advertising revenue from my blog, I can only hope that I am a better writer than I am businessman.

I cannot say that this is the best novel ever written, I cannot tell you that it will change your life, or start a revolution. Various people, through email and website comments, have told me that they have enjoyed this work and that it has connected with them on a meaningful level. If I had not freely shared my work on the Internet the connections between those people and my work would not have been made. And so it is with the intent of connecting my work with even more people, so that they might enjoy reading it, and maybe discover something about themselves, other people and the world we all share, that I release this novel under a creative commons license.

As a writer I have to realize that my work exists independently to myself. My novel only really exists when it is read. Otherwise it is just dead words printed on dead trees (and not even that for the electronic copies). It is only when a reader reads my words that they come alive and as a living thing my novel deserves to live its own life. And so it is in the spirit of allowing my work to stand on its own, to allow it to grow and develop in its own way that I release it under a creative commons license.

The people who do connect to this novel are spread too thinly across the world to allow the mass production and distribution of this novel as a traditionally published book to be economically viable. And so finally, it is in the hope of finding a new way to market and distribute stories that I release this novel under a creative commons license. I hope that a new business model will develop, one that will allow a much greater variety and freedom in the consumption of fiction to arise, and that this new business model will benefit both readers and writers alike.
