)Hi, I'm Doug Bell !
                  ^^
Hi, I'm Scott Drellishak, SPACE BANG!

)I've written a series of 6 books about INFINITY CITY, an incredible world 
)in a black hole and the adventurers of its exciting people.  

Who would have believe that time dilation and death-by-tides could be
SO MUCH FUN?  Being crushed down to an infinitely dense point is the
hoot of a lifetime!

)I'm amazed at how much you all are enjoying the stories!  

So am I.  It's amazing to realize how much I can enjoy a story I've
NEVER READ!  We're *all* waiting in anticipation for you to tell us
what our next opinion should be!

)Thanks for all your email support and comments!
)
)In the first book - "VAN GOGH IN SPACE" - an adventurer brings 
)Vincent Van Gogh back from the ancient past to INFINITY CITY where he 
)meets the "kind" of woman that has always caused him trouble...

...and the WACKY FUN never stops!  (btw, I like the way you use
"quotes" around the word "kind" -- this subtly but clearly lets "us"
know that SOMETHING "WITTY" THIS WAY "COMES"! [nudge, nudge])

)If you want an email   > > > >  F R E E   C O P Y   < < < <  of BOOK #1, 
) just email me! 

(W H Y   A R E   W E   S H O U T I N G?)

)The rest of the series is free by email, too!

And worth every penny!

)You'll enjoy them all!

It's MANDATORY!  Just imagine what would happen to Doug's ego if you
didn't!

)Writing this series over the years has been a sheer joy.

Here, have a tissue...

)(I'm already 
)well into book#7 - WASHINGTON & MOZART IN SPACE).

I can hardly wait for book#8 -- I suggest HITLER & EVA IN SPACE.  Or,
dare I dream, DOUG BELL ADRIFT IN SPACE?

)Best of all, people 
)have as much fun reading the books as I do writing them!

It's true because Doug tells you it's true!  And uses exclamation
points to prove it!

(which has appeared in the last 3 months' posts)...

)"Book six was fantastic! Loss, gain, mystery, and now
)the start of a war! I think you have just reached "Epic" proportions with
)this series of novels. I am really enjoying them. 
) It has been great reading your stuff..."            - Joshua R. Nelson

I agree!  And when Josh and I get out of high school, we're going to
grow up to be JUST LIKE DOUG!
