Net Assets is available for download for no charge.

In April of 2002, I published Net Assets. For a brief period, it appeared that the novel would be that rarity: an ebook, self-published on the Internet, that actually made a profit. Sales were going well. The book drew rave reviews. Net Assets was even nominated for a Prometheus Award. Things looked bright.

And then some sorry son of a bitch slug uploaded an unprotected copy of Net Assets to several P2P file-sharing networks, and didn't even have the decency to include a link for voluntary donations.

No debates on copyright, public domain, or "information wants to be free". Just this:

    Researching and writing Net Assets required a huge investment of my time, money, and effort. Since file-sharers took my novel without compensating me for my effort, it is not cost effective for me to continue writing. I'm broke. I needed financial support to continue writing. If you wanted to see a sequel to Net Assets, sorry; that isn't going to happen now. Try downloading that.

When NA was a paying proposition, the novel was available in multiple file formats. Bandwidth charges being what they are, I've limited the choice to PDF.

I used to have an Amazon donation link here, for folks who wanted to encourage me to release the sequels.

Amazon closed the account due to inactivity.

No sequels.
