Warning: This is not Aviation related
Having been a writer for most of my life, I never got to enjoy writing fro fun until recently, when I dared to go all the way off the reservation. In the literary field the rules are always enforced with all the zeal of an angry feminist at a pro-life rally.
Publishers do what they do as a lifestyle business, not a mega-profit business. Publishing isn't like Apple Computers, or Microsoft. If doesn't return billions, no matter how well its executed.
That said, I've always chafed at the rules, and often proclaimed that the day an author published a totally anonymous work, that refused to follow any of the rules, and produced an interesting, if imperfect work, their work would be embraced by readers like nobodies business.
Having nothing to lose, and lot of time fool around I wrote a totally unedited, adult-fiction work, and published it for free on a literary website. You do have to have an email address to read beyond the first five chapter, or so, but it is completely free, and there is never any charge, unless you choose purchase their anonymizer.

SECOND CHANCE has everything but the kitchen sink. Second Chance combines science fiction, drama, romance, sex, airplanes, jets, yachts, boats, houseboats, baseball, business, politics, and time travel, as well as lots of sex, crazy situations, wars, spies, and international intrigue.
To give you an example; The main character gets hit by tractor trailer and dies on page one.
DISCLOSURE: If you are one of those folks who cannot deal with an unedited work, do not attempt SECOND CHANCE. It will drive you nuts. Not only did I refuse to acknowledge any of the time tested rules, but I refused to edit it for anything other than gross mistakes. All typos remain just as they hit the page.
I will confess that it is over two-thousand pages long, and has been downloaded over three point two million times in fourteen months, making it the most downloaded, free book, in history.
If you wish to read my book, please remember it is not even close to perfect, does not follow the rules, and includes all my typos.
Hope you try it and send me your thoughts.
Remember you will need an email address to access all the later chapters.
