The publisher has finally finished with the entire pre-release arrangements, and I should receive the first copy of the book within a week or so. Once I submit to them that the novel is in good order (both exterior and interior) then the book will become available to the public. :)
I'm very excited... I'll post again when I have a link.
P.S.> There is a chance that I'll be having a huge Book Release Party sometime at the end of July or early August... so I'll try to make an announcement about that as soon as I'm able. :)
EDIT: SoulBound is now available at SoulBoundTheNovel.com (http://soulboundthenovel.com/)

SoulBound is what I would term a 'supernatural thriller.' It revolves around the main character, Jimmy, who discovers as a boy that he has a unique gift; he is a soul collector. He comes to realize that he has a Light that attracts certain lost souls to him… like moths to a flame, and he bonds with these ghosts; people from various countries and times in history… and interacts with them as if they were alive. He carries within him their memories, abilities, and emotions, and refers to them as the SoulBound.
Jimmy is now 26 -with twelve souls inside him- and is a highly regarded history professor that speaks six languages… and he’s in love. Dee, the love of his life, is unaware of the SoulBound, so Jimmy must tell her, while also trying to deal with the dark mystery behind the death of his latest and youngest soul; a six-year old girl named Carrie Ann. He learns that she was murdered by a serial killer called The Shadow That Speaks, and with the help of his SoulBound, Jimmy must hunt him down, as the FBI can’t catch him.

Xlibris is the publisher... Ingram books will be the distributor. I am trying my best to get the book in as many book stores as possible... time will tell. Your store will be among the first we contact. :)

Thanks guys... I haven't been this excited in a very long time.
As well, I'd like to take the time to thank the posters who read the unedited version, and offered encouragement anyway. :D
Also, I'd like to send a special "Thank you!" to Flip217 for his efforts in helping me get this book published... you have my sincerest gratitude. :clap3:

I just wanted to share my absolute joy over holding the official first copy of my book in my hands. I am like a child at Christmas...
I know that a few OH'ers have expressed their own desire to finish projects that have lay unfinished, and I must express to you all that whatever that project is -get it done. You'll never have regrets if you chase the dream.

I think it would make for a good movie, but an even better mini-series. HBO, Showtime...
