What’s New?
I have an anthology of short stories out and available for the Amazon Kindle. “God, Time, Perception & Sexy Androids,” 27 stories of weirdness and wonder. Written over a span of 30 years, some of these stories are previously published, but many are brand new – and all of them have been updated especially for this anthology.
From Amazon’s Product Description: A gang who steals sexbots and pimps them out for beer and pizza money inadvertently abscond with the ultimate stealth bomb. A dead woman finds herself in a race against time to save her new young body from being stolen by her murderous husband — who wants to turn it into his mindless slave. A normal Joe’s life is turned upside down when a angel’s halo mysteriously appears above his head. These are among 27 wonderfully weird and thought provoking stories included in God, Time, Perception, and Sexy Androids. You also get to meet an assassin obsessed with the afterlife, the time-kidnapped Sumerian potter who invented the wheel, and a very special girl who is rushing to find love during the final few hours of life on Earth.
These smart, funny, and sometimes frightening stories span from the beginning of civilization to the end of the world, and out to the stars.
And, come on, it’s only $2.99!
If you buy it, and like it – I mean truly like it – please Tweet, Facebook, Buzz, Digg, etc. the link to the book out to people you think may like it as well. This is a small press experiment that is using the power of e-publishing to level the playing field against the big media print houses, and I would love to see it do well.
In the mean time, I still have a short story in two still-currently published print anthologies. Look for “It Came From Willy McCracken’s Buttocks” in either (or both) Houston, We’ve Got Bubbas from Yard Dog Press, or The Best of the Bubbas of the Apocalypse from BenBella Books.
Any day now (maybe even while you’re reading this) I will be polishing up the final draft of Eleven Days on Earth, my new novel. It’s an urban fantasy about a hero who returns from the dead, helped by a goddess who’s sent him on an unlikely quest — to find the Holy Beer. As it turns out there’s a 2000 year old conspiracy by the wine industry to suppress the fact that it was beer, not wine, that Jesus drank from the Holy Grail.
The odd thing is, that might actually be the truth.
What’s not so new is my novel Travels, which is still very much available, and it’s actually more relevant now than when it was first published. There’s urban terrorists, subliminal advertising, the second coming of Christ, and features the Antichrist AI.
Beware the Antichrist AI!
Anyway, you can still get it via Amazon or Barnes & Noble. If you’re lucky you can stumble across it used at Half Priced Books.
Also, Travels has the distinction of being one of the first three e-books originally published by Time-Warner, so this book was quite literally ahead of its time. And you can still get it on the Amazon Kindle.
It smells of molasses, yeast, and honey.
