AI Created This Demotivational Poster

[image error]

The above image was created by an AI attempting to make motivational images. I thought it was creepy and pretty relevant to a story idea I had, so I thought I’d share it with all of you. You’ll hear about that story here first. In the meantime, here are the deals for August.

The dystopian novel Atmospheric Pressure is on sale for only 99 cents August 3rd-7th. I am very close to finishing the first draft of the sequel to the book, so this is a great way to get caught up with the series.

I also have four free stories for you. The first two stories are an epic space opera series and can be found here:

Kal’s Fall

Kal’s Truth

Also the first two stories of the time travel comedy Sperm Donor for a Cosmic Paradox:



Sperm Donor for a Cosmic Paradox

Customer Service Scientist



Enjoy, and don’t forget to leave a review. They really help me out.

Help Me Get Published and Get a Free Book

I’m going to do an experiment with my next book called Life 2.0. I’m going to give away 100 copies for free before it’s even finished being edited. You will get to see the raw story from my fingers to the screen. What I want from you is your feedback. Read through it, tell me what you think. You can comment on this post or contact me from the Mailing List and Contact page to the left.

Also, by getting one of those 100 copies and reading through it, you’ll help me get a chance at a publishing deal. The site I’m using takes those 100 copies to see how many people read through it and shared it with their friends, and it analyzes its publishing potential.

Once all the copies are gone, that’s it. You’ll have to wait months to get a copy.

Here’s the description:

Each time Orion dies, he gets a second chance at life. He has lives where he is a Roman, a Knight, and even a soldier in the Vietnam War.  However, another immortal he has nicknamed Stabby keeps trying to kill him in each one. He wonders why he has so many chances at life until he meets a Princess that needs saving and that Princess also appears in all of his lives.

99 Cent Burritos

[image error]It’s July 4th! And for all you Americans, it can mean many things, like beer, family, and fireworks! Oh, there’s that whole signing the Declaration of Independence thing too. It can also mean watching Will Smith battle aliens and wondering why every American President can’t be like Bill Pullman.

In celebration of Independence Day, Pete has decided that July 4th-7th his journey through time will only be 99 cents! A buck burrito? How can you go wrong? Maybe you already have a copy of Time Burrito but your friends don’t have one. Why not get them a copy for only one dollar! Just click the “give as gift” button when you go to purchase here.

That’s not all! I also want to give you something free just for following this blog. In this story, you’ll notice that I was extremely optimistic about when you’d see shipping drones in the skies. But when I wrote it, I thought it wouldn’t be long, and I still don’t. Dates aside, I think it’s a good story about the dangers of automation. Enjoy your free copy of Living Material Inside – Open Immediately.

And as always, if you like what you read, please leave a review!

Get #PotAD for 99 cents.

It[image error]‘s June, and it’s all about summer road trips. What’s better for road trips than music? In June, my most musical fiction will be on sale/free. My science fiction/horror/comedy called Playlist of the Ancient Dead is on sale for a limited time! The kindle edition is 99 cents June 3rd-8th on amazon. If you loved Time Burrito, I would say that PotAD should be your next stop. If you are trying hard to see how music fits into this book, I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but it plays a big part. Here’s the description:

Caroline, a post-graduate student, waits for her grand adventure in life. While she’s waiting, she walks the dog down the same path every day, avoids her dippy ex-boyfriend, and ponders her mundane march towards middle age. Her dream comes true when a magical doorway appears before her in a drab brick building. There is something on the other side of the door, and it beckons her inside.

[image error]Also in June, I’m giving away two free short stories. On June 3rd-5th, the kindle edition of One Way Trip to Solasoma will be free! Then on June 6th-10th, Our Final Days on Bellicus Prime will be free! Both of these stories accompany a song by the same name from my band Spiral. You can hear the songs on just about any music service or by clicking the beautiful album artwork to the right.

Finally, I want to let you all know that I have three projects in the pipeline. One is a reincarnation story with a comic twist. The other is the sequel to Atmospheric Pressure. And the last is a YA multiverse trilogy (this one, I plan to wait until all three books are done). I really don’t know when any of these will be done because for the time being, I do this in my spare time.

If you like what I do, and want to help, consider leading a review, telling a friend, or better yet gifting a copy to them. Give a friend a book for a buck. You can’t beat it!

Enjoy the sun-baked highways and turn it up loud!

If You Enjoyed Time Burrito—

Time Burrito has had a fantastic release, and I have all of you to thank for it. I really appreciate the support this book has seen. The free promotion was a resounding success of over 5000 downloads, and reviews seem to show people are enjoying the book. If you want to help, consider leaving a review yourself, or tell a friend about the book.

If you’ve read, shared, and loved Time Burrito and are itching for more, I would consider Playlist of the Ancient Dead. It’s a horror, science fiction, comedy with my most unusual premise. If you want to read Time Burrito’s sister book, check out Othello and Zombies. I wrote both of those at the same time. Finally, if my books with a comic edge are in the immortal words of Graham Chapman “too silly,” I would suggest Atmospheric Pressure. It’s a straight up Orwellian thriller that is nearing completion of a sequel.

Thanks again, you rock and/or roll.

Time Burrito is free for a limited time only.

Hello everyone,

 

I appreciate the tremendous support this book has already seen. I received so many positive comments and even some good reviews. I humbly thank you all. Those who’ve been chipping in $3 by purchasing have really helped a lot. You don’t have to spend money to help this book out, if you’ve read the book and would like to support it by leaving a review and/or telling a friend. The small stuff really helps.  The free kindle promotion will run on Amazon on April 15th-19th, 2017, it may be the first and last time it will be free to download so make sure you get a copy.

I’m also going to be giving away two paperback copies on Goodreads (entries open this Friday). It’s a random drawing that ends after the free giveaway, so be sure to get your digital copy too.

Thank you again. I appreciate all the support.

Get Many Great Books for 99 Cents.

[image error]

My time travel thriller novel called Time Agency is 99 cents for a limited time only along with many other great novels. You can also sign up to win a slew of free paperback books. Find all the details here.

Time Burrito

I wanted to thank everybody who voted for Time Burrito and let you know that it’s on amazon right now. If you have a Kindle Unlimited account, you can start reading. If you don’t and can spare $3, that would help out a lot. If you can’t spare the $3, I understand that too and will run a free download promotion on Amazon on or around April 19th (stay tuned for more details).

In meantime, if you want to help me out, there are several ways you can do it. The best way is tell friend about the book, or share it on social media. People love cats, so why not give them a cat on a burrito? If you’ve read it, reviews also help a whole bunch. (Note to my friends and family, you cannot leave a review. Amazon will delete those). Here’s how to get it on Amazon:

 

Othello and Zombies Free Book and More

 

[image error]

Free March 15th-19th, 2017

While we wait to find out the fate of Time Burrito, I wanted to thank everyone via the offer of a free kindle book. What better book to offer for free than Othello and Zombies? They were written at almost the exact same time. I was barely on the first act of Othello and Zombies when the plot of a man traveling through time for the perfect burrito just popped into my head (or maybe I was hungry). So I switched off writing them with only a minor break to release Othello and Zombies. Please enjoy the free copy by clicking here, and also while you are there, check out the audiobook of Othello and Zombies. It’s read by Michael Burnette, the fantastic narrator who produced Time Agency. What’s even better is that you can get the Othello and Zombies audiobook for free too by signing up for a free trial of Audible. That’s a whole lotta free! Enjoy and thank you again.
