It's set "20 minutes into the future," about 2025, assuming several of our current technological trends like cryptocurrencies, 3D printing, and drones continue in a fairly linear trajectory.
And thanks! Feel free to check out the free short story if you're interested.
This one is published through an indie press, but historically all my stuff has been self-published through Amazon, Nook, Kobo, Apple iBooks, and Smashwords (D2D is a great help for doing this, as is Scrivener for compiling books into .ePub and .Mobi formats).
The publisher is a bit of an experiment for me, to see if their marketing work/connections can sell more books than my efforts on my own, so I'll let you know. Happy to answer any questions on the self-pubbing front too; I've been doing it with shorts and novellas for about 4 years.
Glad you liked it!
The full novel will be for sale on all the major online bookstores (the first hit is always free...).
And no pressure, but would love if you left a review on the Amazon page.
We've actually been sending out review copies to a few folks. I've also got a free, prequel short story if you wanted to check that out.
