Big McWeek For Me!
I’d like to thank, and welcome, all the contestants at C.L. Cannon’s Spring Fantasy & Sci-fi BookBub Giveaway. I’ll be doing a summary of what the hell’s going in this newsletter in May when the contest finally ends. If you think you got here by accident you can CLICK HERE to unsubscribe. For anyone else wishing to join the contest, you’ll need to create a free BOOKBUB account, CLICK HERE to access the contest, and follow the easy instructions. There are hundreds of free or discounted books available. There are also numerous ways to win a variety of prizes. Simply scroll to the bottom to see them all.
This weekend I’m getting my second COVID shot. Kim and I – she’s my better half – went with the Moderna flavor sponsored, in part, by Dolly Parton.
I’ll also be appearing at The Book Fest this weekend. Complete details below. This will be my third appearance and each of the previous times I’ve had more than a thousand people sign up for this newsletter. And, unlike other stodgy events, I’ll have a glass of vodka or two and a hot mic. You don’t want to miss it.
More below.
On the good news front Hadithi Sambamba’s contact with Nerdanatix has been reactivated.
As many of you will remember, Nerdanatix was unable to secure a PPP loan and closed due to the pandemic last June. They have come up with some creative solutions, cobbled together investors, formalized their relationship with Valor Printing, and are already getting books, including ones I wrote, placed in brick and mortar stores.
Currently they are focusing on the American Southwest, since they’re based in Houston, but should be nationwide by the fall. They’re working on building a new website to reflect their new reality. I will share a link when it’s live.
More below.
Many of you have asked if I was going to be part of THE BOOKFEST again. The answer is a resounding YES!!! I will be joined by international, best selling, authors James Rollins, Danny Trejo, and many more. Not that either of them could pick me out of a one person lineup, but we will all be there.
Sat. April 17th – 6:00pm to 8:00pm CDT
Live Author Chats – Hosted by Jenna Busch and Anastasia Washington
Part afterparty, part networking, and part authors doing whatever the heck they want, this fun interactive event presents authors and literary folks in fast-paced chats with hosts Jenna Busch and Anastasia Washington. Some authors may do readings, some may take audience questions, some may make recipes, or do a performance. One thing we know for sure, there will be a lot of surprises. Plus, the winner of the Grand Prize Spring Picnic Giveaway will be announced, along with the Owlcrate and Amazon gift card winners.
Host: Jenna Busch, Writer/Host for sites like SYFY Wire, Vital Thrills, Metro, The Washington Post and more. Contributing author to 11 books including Star Wars Psychology. Co-hosted Cocktails With Stan with the legendary Stan Lee.

Finally, I wanted to let you know that I’m offering select quantities of autographed books and comics for sale. All you need to do is CLICK HERE to peruse the selections and place your orders.
Of course, should you so desire, you can also CLICK HERE to festoon your rocking bod, and all McSciFi fans have rocking bods, with McSciFi gear. Each design has over one hundred options. And many of the shirts come in 3X and 4X. I also have onesies for your toddlers. There really is something for everyone.
If you’re cool with it, send me an email and share a pic of you in McSciFi gear. You won’t be the first, but you will be the coolest.
Until next week, stay safe, sane, and inside.

Joining the McCool Kids!
I’d like to thank, and welcome, all the contestants at C.L. Cannon’s Spring Fantasy & Sci-fi BookBub Giveaway. I’ll be doing a summary of what the hell’s going in this newsletter in May when the contest finally ends. For anyone else wishing to join the contest, you’ll need to create a free BOOKBUB account and then CLICK HERE and follow the easy instructions. There are hundreds of free or discounted books available. There are also numerous ways to win a variety of prizes. Simply scroll to the bottom of the contest page to see them all.
SPLICE: HIT BIT TECHNOLOGY is listed under “Genetic Manipulation.” For those who are new, SPLICE was voted the Best Science Fiction Novel of 2020 by the Critters’ Readers’ Poll. The Critters’ Poll was created by one of the people who developed the Nebula Award.
+++++
SPLICE is a non-stop thrill ride, taking the reader on an edge-of-your-seat experience through the worlds of the military and organized crime. Bill McCormick absolutely captures the senses of the military and combat from sight, to sound, to smell, and leaves you only wanting more at the turn of every page. This book gets it right and keeps it coming!

I was recently interviewed by Cody Johnson of Comic Chat Authority and we talked exclusively about the comics I write. The result was a deep dive into my creative process, the thinking behind the brain bending plots, and an honest look at why I tend to write comics for adults. CLICK HERE to watch the whole thing. It really was a lot of fun.
Comic Chat Authority is a weekly show created and hosted by Cody, often along with his wife Kari, that features creators from all over the world. I have discovered creators there I might have, otherwise, missed. If you dig comics, and you dig me so the odds are in favor of that, make sure to check it out.
