“This
online novel is definitely the first ever of its kind in that it is fully
funded by advertising space that is being sold on each and every page, rather
than by a conventional book deal.” Says the Author, <A href="http://hestillwatchesnovel.blogspot.com/">Dale A. Moses.</A> “Each
ad space is a clickable link to the webpage of that business, and the Novel
itself is free to the book reading public.”</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mjroseblog.typepad.com/buzz_balls_hype/2007/03/the_first_at_se.html">The press release says the book is "being composed this way in order to establish return readership
and maximize ad space exposure. The novel will be given away in Second Life
thanks to the publishing skills of ‘Second Life Publisher’ Andy Sullivan
