Sharknado Ebook Sale!
Just in time for Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No, my New York Times bestseller How To Survive a Sharknado and Other Unnatural Disasters is on sale for $1.99 at Amazon • Barnes & Noble • Kobo • iBooks (US only).
In the apocalyptic world we live in, Mother Nature is angry. Danger waits at every turn, and catastrophes like the Los Angeles sharknados have taught us that we need to be ready for anything. Too many lives have already been lost.
But fear not. Syfy's How to Survive a Sharknado and Other Unnatural Disasters is the first and only comprehensive guide to surviving the very worst that Mother Nature can throw our way.
"Every bit as amusing (and straight-faced) as the film franchise that spawned it." — Entertainment Weekly
