Forecast
I’ve posted my novel FORECAST in its entirety. If you’re interested in reading some/all of it, you may do so in two* ways:
1) by clicking the link in the main nav bar above and reading all 105k words in the blog format (designed to display perfectly on iPhones)
2) by clicking the link in the main nav bar above and then downloading a .pdf of the book, nicely laid out by Drew Burk
I know I’ve said other things about what would become of this novel, and maybe those things will still happen, but I’m not interested in waiting any longer. I’ve wanted to make the book available to whosoever wants to read it, and now it is.
*Actually, I guess there’s at least one other way. You could also grab the text and paste it into another file. Hey, I’ve got a good idea: try putting your name on it and submitting it around! If you get it published I’ll totally buy a copy.

[...] New York-based author Shya Scanlon’s fiction is good enough to melt your face off and, in the spirit of our age, he’s made his latest novel Forecast available online in two flavors: Skinny and right off the screen, or a little more HWP in pages laid out by Spork Press‘ Drew Burk. Full disclosure includes the fact that Scanlon is a dear and longtime friend of mine, which has no bearing on my assessment of his work. It’s awesome. Read it. [...]

Hmm. A lulu copy, huh? Maybe so, maybe so. Let me see how hard it is.

you mean having it read/performed?

Having it read is such a pantywaist solution. Read it yourself and post it as an mp3. Strum a guitar between chapters.
