Original HTML Novel (World's First True E-Books)
*Criteria. Jean-Thomas Cullen (writing as John Argo and as John T. Cullen) published the world's first true online e-books starting with Neon Blue (Suspense) in April 1996. With his talented business partner Brian Callahan, JTC (as he often signs his correspondence) published
(1) his own work;
(2) novels (in full, commercial grade, not samples or teasers);
(3) online in HTML format to be read online, not on portable media such as CD-ROM, floppies, tape, or the like;
(4) in weekly serial chapters, released in sequence one each Sunday evening Pacific Standard Time in San Diego for readers around the world;
(5) with the option for avid readers to download a full TXT file if they just could not stand the suspense from week to week, which happened frequently.
Other Fiction. C&C (Cullen and Callahan) followed up with a number of shorter works by John Argo (John T. Cullen) starting 1997 or 1998 including stories like Taxi M'Koo and the Helium Drive and Harps. This is all before e-commerce, so we were publishing for free (promotionally). We were the only game in town for a while, and had a fervent audience of readers around the world on all major continents. I still have a lot of the fan mail. More info soon. JTC
