Atlantan David Fulmer is a very good writer. He's won a Shamus, which ain't chicken scratch.His 2003 book was a Booklist Best New Series. His 2008 book The Dying Crapshooter's Blues got four stars from Paste Magazine.
David is a talented writer who works hard, takes his work seriously and does everything he can to sell books. His latest book, Lost River, is better than his first. And his books make some money for his publisher, which is something to keep in mind.
So why in hell can't this guy get a contract? David has started pursuing non-traditional publishing methods, and the first step is the e-publishing of The Last Time. Here's the blurb from Amazon, which is offering the book as a Kindle Edition:

Rough voices mutter in the darkness and a body tumbles from an outcropping of rock to land hundreds of feet below. The night goes still again as a life ends in one sad breath. So begins The Last Time, a mystery intertwined with a tale about the deepest bonds of friendship as it winds to a fevered climax of blood and betrayal, all caught in the glare of one deadly moment.
This riveting suspense novel by LA Times Book Prize nominee and Shamus Award and Benjamin Franklin award winner David Fulmer - author of Chasing The Devil’s Tail, The Blue Door and Lost River - is sure to add to his legions of loyal readers.

It's telling that the reviews attached to the book are for Fulmer's previous books. Nobody reviews a kindle edition (yet).
Many people look at David as an example of how screwed up the publishing industry is, and how good writers are going to survive in the long run.
So go check out the book, and download it if you have something to read it on.
