It’s the Great Pumpkin’ Promo!
Get some “mind candy” for yourself. Raised eyebrows and big eyes, as you wonder if I’m some kind of scalper, dealer, or seller of Super Storm Sandy pre-owned cars, aren’t appropriate. This is a PG-13 website. I’m an introvert who writes books, not a scam artist. “Mind candy” here means “interesting books,” no more no less.
Running through Nov. 5, three of my 2014 ebooks are on sale, each one for $1.99. That’s a $3 savings on each book! The books will revert to the usual prices of $4.99 on Nov. 6. I realize you’re very good about your diet and avoid all the sugary and/or salty treats you hand out and your kids bring home. This promo allows you to indulge and brag to everyone how healthy you are (no one needs to know about the Snickers or Reese’s Pieces you sneak from your kids’ haul, right?).
The three books are: Soldiers of God (second ed.), Aristocrats and Assassins, and Muddlin’ Through. The first ebook is the bridge between the “Clones and Mutants Series” and the “Chaos Chronicles Trilogy.” It was available previously only as an expensive Infinity trade paperback. The second book is the last entry in the “Detectives Chen and Castilblanco Series.” A new release in that series is coming up soon, so you can hit the ground running and build to the new release (there’s even a contest with rules specified at the end of A&A that will allow you to snatch up the new release for free!). The final ebook is the first in the “Mary Jo Melendez Mysteries”; the second book in that series will appear early next year.
Of course, this “mind candy” isn’t completely healthy. There’s a chance you will lose sleep and be breathless as you read each book—that’s why they’re also called thrillers, although all three are crossovers, that is, mystery/suspense/thriller. Maybe you should check your BP while you read, but you won’t have to worry about the sugar intake (leave the kids’ bags alone!).
This is a great opportunity to purchase three recent books at a bargain price. Tell your friends and relatives. Remember, you don’t even need a Kindle because Amazon sells a Kindle app that allows you to read an ebook formatted for a Kindle on most any device. Note that lending is enabled for these ebooks—you only need to buy one per family (or book club, if yours works that way).
There are other new bargain ebooks that might interest you too. World Enough and Crime, a new crime anthology, contains my short story “The Case of the Carriageless Horse,” a tale about Detective Castilblanco’s first homicide case. And The Collector, the next Chen and Castilblanco tale, will be out soon, at $4.99, still a bargain compared to the ebooks from major publishers that are generally start at twice this price—I run my writing business on a shoestring budget and pass the savings on to you, dear reader.
Happy Spooky, Freaky, Scary, and Weird Halloween!
