Editing has finished and the official release date for my first novel is January 13th, 2013, "F-Ring", by T.P. Brown.

This will come with multiple book tours all around the states, so once I find out all those, I'll be posting here and see if I come within close proximity to any 1stMRB and if you guys want to come support one of your own because shit, I HATE book signings, especially since I've already had 6 death threats from firstreaders of it.

SO, you should totally support one of your own FINALLY getting their fiction work published, DO IT.

8 years writing it, 1 year selling it, 1 year editing it...a work a decade in the making, finally coming to the world....I'm just a wee bit excited : )

That said, I'll obviously be taking a bit of a LOA once I figure all this stuff out, but my laptop can play some DOD:S and I'm sure I'll have a lot of downtime while sitting in hotel rooms fighting off the groupies, so I'll be around and able to play/forum-browse/ignore Parker's new choice of songs

Yea, this is me right now...

You may all continue with your regular scheduled programs, as long as you post pictures of cats or other adorableness to celebrate with me : ) Cheers!

[edit] Forgot to mention, I'll have a crapload of copies in a month or so to give away to friends, so if you're interested in getting one, send me a message here or at my email (oizown at gmail dot com) with an address to send it to and I will. For FREE. Course, if you like it, you still have to buy one and give it to a friend : )

[edit2] Synopsis will be up tomorrow, I'm gettin' drunk now : P

I didn't see any selling or mention on here. What's this book about? I'm always open to a good read. If you wrote badly I'm going to tell you though.

Good point. I'll write a synopsis for you all, but I'm also going to edit in the post that if you want an advanced copy, I am fairly certain I'll have about 40 to give away next month and I don't know 40 people I want to give it away too, so if you'd like a copy before then, send me info where to send it and I will : )

And I write AMAZINGLY, if with all my adverbs and improper usage of them.

I want a signed first edition, but don't put shit like "To my dearest friend Parker" or anything like that. I want your signature and that's it otherwise it devalues the book if you ever become famous. That shit will sell like hotcakes on ebay.

Seriously though, congrats on the big achievement. I'm glad you got published and I hope you become a huge success.

I will be sure to buy your book so yeah. Maybe i could get a discount. Ha I am kidding. But yeah getting wasted is the most elegant way of expressing one's joy.

Also here you go.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
