I’m giving away 5 copies of my new novel, Forget What You Can’t Remember, through Goodreads‘ First Reads program. “How can I be the lucky recipient of one of these free books,” you ask? It’s easy:
1) Sign up for a Goodreads account.
1b) Actually use your account; put in books you’ve read, are currently reading, want to read, write reviews, and otherwise participate!
2) Go here and click ‘Enter to win’.
No, really, it’s that easy to enter. Then, at the end of the month (ie: January 31st, 2009) Goodreads will work its mojo and semi-randomly select 5 people to receive free books. ((They have an algorithm and everything: “Goodreads will collect interest in the book, and select winners at our discretion. Our algorithm uses member data to match interested members with each book.”)) Then I’ll ship out the books personally to the winners, and they’ll bask in the wordy-goodness that is the new book.
For those of you who either a) don’t win, or b) don’t like paper books, but still don’t feel like paying: Please feel free to enjoy the free serialized audio version of the novel, either by signing up for the Modern Evil Podcast or by going to Podiobooks.com and signing up for either the default feed (which gives you episodes as I post them) or a custom feed (and get episodes on your own schedule). The free eBook version should be available in February, 2009, as well. Enjoy!
Forget What You Can’t Remember, chapter 6: In which Lance and Brady, while running through the zombie-infested streets of Denver, discuss their current predicament.
Forget What You Can’t Remember, chapter 5: In which Skythia’s navigation and timekeeping systems are all either shut off or randomized -to keep any Skythians from being able to see or even know when Doomsday hits- and Colm shows Paul the city’s transportation network and its awe-inspiring skyline.
Sorry the episode is coming so late, today. Glad I could get it up before midnight on Tuesday, though – I like being able to say I’ve stuck to the schedule I set for myself. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Forget What You Can’t Remember, chapter 4: In which the Sergeant first hears about a zombie outbreak near Denver he’s partially responsible for, we learn that he ended up with Lorraine rather than Mary, and Lance and Brady set out to try to finish their training in time to face the Denver outbreak.
Forget What You Can’t Remember, chapter 3: In which Paul makes his escape from the Doomsday he’s been predicting, arriving via private flight to Skythia -a flying city- in the middle of the night and being met by the city’s Mayor, Colm O’Reiley, who is eager to do whatever it takes to protect the city.
