QUIET POST: Funny & surreal
I'm very proud to announce the publication of my first new novel in four years. Quiet Post is an absurdist comedy set in the Quasiverse, an alternate universe where anything can happen and often does.
The book officially goes on sale August 16, but you can preorder an ebook copy now at: Barnes & Noble Apple Google Play Kobo Why should you want to do that? Be the envy of your friends Be the first kid on your block to own this wildly amusing absurdist comedy. You'll have your copy already set and waiting for you so you can download it right on publication day, August 16. Here's a brief description: Escaping a bad love affair, Martia Rosenthal signs up for a diplomatic assignment in the Quasiverse. Martia encounters mutant snow globes, carnivorous bouquets, locks that are very particular how they open, skies that change color daily, a sporting event with fanged sheeposauruses, and a randomly dead murder victim. But can even she survive the Elevator of Doom? You can preorder in confidence, knowing your credit account won't be billed before the publication date, and the book will be available when it's due. Save money The preorder price of the ebook is only $3.99. After the publication date, the price will go up to its normal $4.99. Get a free ebook Email me a copy of the receipt showing you preordered Quiet Post and I'll send you a Smashwords coupon for a free copy of one of my other ebooks. Check out the list of available titles at my ROGO page. More free ebooks Ordinarily, my ROGO program awards someone who reviews one of my books a free ebook. But if you post a review of Quiet Post before September 1 and it conforms to the regular ROGO rules, you'll get coupon codes for two ebooks of your choice. Reviews dated September 1 and later will still be eligible for a single ebook reward. And of course, the best incentive of all is that you get the earliest chance to read a very entertaining book. I hope you'll give Quiet Post a try. |

Kobo is being frustratingly slow about posting their book page for Quiet Post. As soon as they do so, I'll edit my previous post so Kobo customers can head over there to get their preorders in. [Promotional content deleted - MODERATOR] Last edited by Dr. Drib; 07-28-2014 at 09:21 PM. |

New paperback edition
I just completed a second paperback edition of my absurdist fantasy/comedy, QUIET POST. Corrected a few very minor typos. Oh, and the biggest change is it's now a dollar cheaper. If you don't have a copy yet, now's a great time to get it. https://www.createspace.com/4819634
