Hello folks,

I wanted to post something up here to let UK Kindle owners know that they can buy The Raw Shark Texts for just £1 at the moment.

£1! Crazy, but true. I'm on a mission to try to get the book into the Kindle top 100, so if you enjoyed Raw Shark, please, please, please repost/retweet/buy(it's only a pound!)/generally let people know about it!

Many thanks to everyone who can help!

“Every single cell in the human body replaces itself over a period of seven years. That means there's not even the smallest part of you now that was part of you seven years ago.”
Steven Hall, The Raw Shark Texts

“I looked at her and a voice inside me said, we only see starlight because all the stars are bleeding.
Steven Hall, The Raw Shark Texts

“Its hurtful and wonderful how our jokes survive us.
Since I left home on this journey, I've thought a lot about this-how a big part of any life is about the hows and whys of setting up machinery. it's building systems, devices, motors. Winding up the clockwork of direct debits, configuring newspaper deliveries and anniversaries and photographs and credit card repayments and anecdotes. Starting their engines, setting them in motion and sending them chugging off into the future to do their thing at a regular or irregular intervals. When a person leaves or dies or ends, they leave an afterimage; their outline in the devices they've set up around them. The image fades to the winding down of springs, the slow running out of fuel as the machines of a life lived in certain ways in certain places and from certain angles are shut down or seize up or blink off one by one. It takes time. Sometimes, you come across the dusty lights or electrical hum of someone else's machine, maybe a long time after you ever expected to, still running, lonely in the dark. Still doing its thing for the person who started it up long, long after they've gone.
A man lives so many different lengths of time.”
Steven Hall, The Raw Shark Texts

brook glad to see you here, and i'm happy to be your friend. looking forward to your updates!

Mary Thanks for the add!! I've spoke with you on myspace before, I'm Iron Mary Kidd on there, I run the Dystopian Society book club. :)

Your book is one of the BEST books I've read in quite some time. Will you be putting out anymore any time soon?


message 3: by Stacy

Stacy Young YAY! I'm HONORED to be your goodreads friend! I've never befriended an author of such an admirable text before. I've read a couple of books since finishing yours and I'm delighted (?) to say that I'm disappointed in them because I am desiring the "zing" your book gave me. Of course some of it was a little esoteric for me as I'm in my I'm-an-English-teacher-on-summer-break-please-give-me-some-guilty-pleasure-reading-that-I-can-absently-absorb-by-the-pool mode, but I see myself revisiting this book again when my brain is more fully functioning. Do you have others? Do you intend to write others? Do you have recommendations for me? I have 3 weeks until school starts and would love to fill my time with some good reads!

:)
Stacy

PS I used to teach English in HULL, Massachusetts.


Yorick Thanks for the add. I thought your book was brilliant and entertaining.

I'm sure you are, but: write more. A book--not note to me. I'd liked to read another of your stories.


Michael Thanks for the add - I love your book!
