Hey Limbolanders it looks like it will be a few more days before Hack hits the virtual shelves, so we've extended our offer of FREE SHIPPING!
Here's why pre-ordering is a win-win:
Here's why pre-ordering is a win-win:
- You'll have HACK in your hot little hands two days after release. If you woof it down (it is a very quick read - a real page turner) you can be one of the first to review it. Good for literary types that are looking for exposure.
- You'll have a brand-spanking new book delivered to you right before you leave for vacation. Hack is the perfect 4-hour flight read, and is also very complimentary to poolside lounging.
- You will have saved about 8 bucks in shipping. Granted that's the same 8 bucks you'll save when Amazon discounts the book a week later. So, see benefits 1 and 2.
- You will contribute greatly to the overall success of the novel. Why? Because when I drop a big mess o' orders on the first day the book is available Amazon will smell green and start promoting the book more aggressively.
Oh...one more thing: many of my fellow Limbolanders don't know me, but they do know that I am fascinated by internet scams, and particularly the characters or personas doing the scamming. I just think it's great fodder for goofy stories. So I can understand why you might be hesitant to drop a few shekels in my PayPal account, figuring I'll go buy a castle in Spain with all the money I make. Don't worry! I don't want to go to jail. Besides, the amount of money we're talking about wouldn't be enough to buy a Greyhound bus ticket to El Paso!
Why offer free shipping before the book comes out? Well, Limbolanders have put up with a lot of shameless self-promotional bullshit from
me from the time I got my publishing contract in Apr. 011. Not to
mention YEARS of promoting this gig or that band or this CD or those
paintings or whatever else I'm trying to shove down the throats of Limbolovers. So as "some sort of silly little consolation"* for
those of you that have expressed an interest in reading about the
travails of our hapless landscape painter Hack, the homeless vet Mr. San
Anselmo, Karl the bobbleheaded "Herr Doktor" of the WWF, Razor Rick
Morgan the new media magnate and his puzzling wife, the biker chick
Hadley, as they all make a mess of their lives in downtown San Anselmo,
boy have I got a deal for you! (ha!)

Thanks all you crazy cats and kittens! I hope to hell that you enjoy Hack's story!
