First, thank you for your interest in this free preview edition of my first novel in the A-Ware series, Derivation!

As a first-time author, yet also wanting to be compensated to some eventual degree due to all my years of hard work, I’m offering this free preview edition of the first novel in the series. I considered only offering about 10 chapters, but as this is a much longer than usual work, I decided to offer the first 70 chapters (significantly more than readers will typically be offered for free).

However, I’d also like to know who’s downloading this free preview edition, just in case I decide I want to notify them once the full novel has been officially published. Therefore, I’d appreciate your name and e-mail address before downloading. I dislike being spammed, so rest assured your below information will only be used for internal marketing purposes, and will not be shared with anyone else.

In fact, if you’re hesitant to share your personal information, which I can understand, you can provide false information. That’s how I tested things out, so I know it still works. The only occasion when I would try to use your information would be for direct marketing or promotional purposes.

Please do note that this free epub is the 3rd edition of the book, whereas the selling edition is currently 6th edition. It’s a good bit of work for me to produce the free edition, which is why I don’t keep the two editions the same. The selling edition contains numerous additions and corrections I only spotted during work on the second book in the series, Synergy. The selling edition also contains numerous formatting changes over the free edition, utilizing various tips I’ve picked up since creating the free edition.

If you want to help share word with others, please only share the first book detail page found here, which will help direct other interested readers to this download registration page, and thanks in advance for your assistance and interest!

Should you encounter difficulties downloading this free preview edition, please let me know so I can look into the problem and get it resolved. However, as I am only one person, please also note this is NOT any offer to provide personal technical support. If your issue is something general which might be affecting most other visitors, I will look into the issue and try to get it corrected, but if your issue appears confined to your situation, any response I offer depends on my situation at the time. Having said that, if I remain unaware of a problem, I cannot be expected to just luckily stumble across it myself; I am depending upon site visitors to make me aware of potential site problems.
