Live forever?

As I write both the prequel and sequel to Behind the Sun, I am thinking hard about the pros and cons of immortality (the characters', not mine!!). What do you think? Would you like to live for ever (or as long as you wanted to)?

I've been fascinated by this topic ever since reading The Epic of Gilgamesh (check out Silverberg's version - Gilgamesh the King). There's a good summary on the wikipedia page.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortality

Behind the Sun

Firstly, thanks again to everyone who purchased the book.

It has been very difficult to find out how many books were ordered on Tuesday the 27th of January, despite hitting #7 on an online shopping website. Whilst the number sold have not been worked out as of yet, I believe sales did go quite well.

I am disappointed about the cost of postage and shipping to Australia and apologise about the cost involved. I did not realise that postage would be so dear, and the decline of the Australian dollar has not helped either.

The next book is coming along well (15, 000 words and counting), so I hope that I can find a cheaper way to make and distribute the next book. Doing this within Australia would be ideal as the postage would be cheaper (or free) and the waiting times would not be as long as they have with Behind the Sun.

Please leave any feedback about the book or in regards to the above issues.
