A friend of mine has recently sold her first novel to a company called Virtual Tales.

We have notice that Virtual Tales comes into official being as of May 1, 2006. That means that our novel, Fraterfamilias, will be available to the public on that date. That is, the first two episodes will be available. It's being broken up into episodes of up to 2,000 words each. Buy the book and two episodes will be sent to your email address every week. Short enough that you can print them out at home and read on the bus on the way to work, or, for the mildly larcenous among us, print it out at work on the boss's tab and read it over lunch. Tell all your friends!

Fraterfamilias is an action-adventure tale with Science Fiction overtones. It moves. It rocks, it rolls and it never stops. It is a tale of two brothers with certain talents who are just trying to survive, one jump ahead of Interpol, in the canyons of New York in 2001.

The author has been in hospice since August but she is a fighter and hasn't quit. She is working on her second one now, another Sci Fi story.

Here is a little more info

FRATERFAMILIAS starts off at a run as a quiet architect wanted for
four murders in Paris walks off a plane at JFK and into a hail of
police gunfire. An Interpol inspector and an NYPD detective are on
the case, but the architect's death seems to tie everything up –
until the body is stolen, and it is no longer clear if he was ever
dead to begin with.

Virtual Tales offers serialized novels in both general and genre
fiction for prices starting at $3.99 for ten installments. The
stories are delivered through email twice a week as PDF (Adobe
Acrobat) files suitable for reading on a PC, Mac, PDA, e-reader or
other device with e-mail capabilities. All stories available through
its website – including FRATERFAMILIAS – are available for a free
trial subscription, so everyone is encouraged to visit the website
and give it a try.
