March 12, 2014 (Mississauga, Ontario).

The Transporting Device is a compelling Science-Fiction story about a university professor who invents a device which creates instantaneous travel from a person’s current location to any desired destination in the world without airport hassles.

It has been available in a print edition since February 24 and sales have been brisk.  “Customers have reacted enthusiastically since I’ve had it available as a printed book.  In fact, the printed edition has outsold the download edition 5 copies to 1”, says Joseph Monachino, the story’s author.  “Everybody I talk to has bought, or has the intention to buy, the book.  The interest in the printed edition has been very gratifying!”

Those who have read the story in both e-book and printed edition have described it as “brilliant” and “ambitious”.  Another reader said “…it’s an ingenious storyline with good structure that moves along well.”  All-in-all, it has been well received.

I am married and 51 years old.  My interests include writing, reading, Classic Rock music and artists, exercising using the treadmill, long distance walking, and watching movies especially comedies and Science-Fiction films.
