Hi everyone! Following up on a forum post I made a few months ago, I'm happy to announce that the paperback version of Ace & Proud - An Asexual Anthology -- a compilation of personal essays from AVEN members about their experiences with asexuality -- is now live and ready for purchase on Amazon. Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Ace-Proud-Asexual-Anthology-Andrews/dp/1517286662/

It should be available on all Amazon sites, so if you're not American, hop over to the Amazon site of your choice, search the book title, and it will come up. I made the price as low as Amazon would let me, in the hopes of allowing everyone who wants to read the book to have the chance to do so.

Thanks for your interest, and happy reading! And if you do enjoy the book, please consider leaving a review :)

Important Note: The ebook will be free to download this weekend (Nov 14/15), so check it out!

Book details:

This is an anthology of 17 true stories by real people about asexuality -- the invisible orientation that everyone's heard of, but few actually talk about or understand.
Whether you’re a newly-discovered asexual, someone who’s known they’re asexual for years, the friend or family of someone asexual, or someone who’s just intrigued by asexuality in general, you’re sure to find something in this anthology that interests you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a selection of personal experiences, insights, and anecdotes from asexual writers around the world!
