Looking for Mr(s.) Goodreader
After a 5 month hiatus, Rockapocalypse is available again.
That’s right.
It’s available for an intimate relationship, a close encounter with all the optical and cerebral pleasures a good book can offer. It’s available… and it’s feeling a little frisky. Abstinence will do that to ANY hot-inked, all-American book.
Where was it at all this time, you ask?
Well, that’s a good question, friend. And I’ll tell you. But Rock’s story isn’t much different from a million others in this cold, unforgiving city of literary indifference.
Coming on the scene in Sept. 2012, it was unquestionably intriguing; a bit of literary eye-candy, eagerly set to engage and satisfy the randiest of bookworms. But as a newbie, it was all but lost in a sea of print that swelled to bursting as the self-publishing wave saturated the market and competition for attention grew enormous. It fought valiantly for a relationship in the reading ranks for a solid year, leaving no page unturned, no literary haunt unvisited, no social media outlet untouched.
On the outside it looked promising. Those who spent time with it praised Rock’s fulfilling ways and ability to satisfy. So much so that they left high words on the walls of its favorite hangout, Amazon.com. But on the inside, it became poisoned with self-doubt. It felt ugly and useless. It found its own image hideous and repulsive in the prosaic mirror. It lost its drive, its desire to entertain, to enchant, to please.
Then one day, distraught and defeated, it became unavailable to all with the tap-tap of a single key.
And 5 months passed…
Five months of soul-searching. Five months of change so deep, so profound, that one day it looked in that mirror and took its own breath away. Nothing had changed on the cover. Nothing had changed on the printed pages. But the change in attitude was so brilliant, so bright with “positive” energy, that it nearly blinded those who gazed upon it.
(*Note to self: remember, this is just a book.)
So… like I said, Rockapocalypse is available again. Back in the old game. Looking for Mr(s.) Goodreader, or 51 Shades of Grey (yes, it has much more to offer), it’s back on the literary dating scene. In fact, it’s available right now… right here!
Hook up with it. You won’t be disappointed…

Free Story over at Amazon!
Amazon Review for “ Anything But “…
5.0 out of 5 stars WITTY ROCK N ROLL BANK HEIST
“Witty short story about a bank heist carried out by characters from our favorite era of Rock N Roll. Elvis lovers will enjoy this quick tale of theft while remembering all the small things that made you love “The King.” Baby boomers who loved Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Temptations and other Rock N Roll legends will enjoy this acerbic account of a disillusioned working man, who chooses a different path in life. A few crude words for those with tender ears but overall clever, amusing, fast short story for Classic Rock N Roll lovers everywhere.”

Amazon, oh Amazon…
Well, “Anything But” did not become a free download today. [insert frowny face] Still scheduled for 1/11 as of 1 a.m. this morning, it somehow cancelled itself while I was slumbering. Of course, they claimed I cancelled it from my KDP bookshelf.
[huge eye roll]
Nay! Hogwash, I say! I have better things to do with my time than schedule a KDP giveaway, promote said giveaway to 3000 core social media contacts, then sleepwalk to my computer at some un-Godly hour and cancel it as I laugh maniacally [with eyes closed, of course] at my fiendish plan of deception. Right?
Right.
So here’s what I’ll try to do: I turn 50-something next Friday and plan to run a giveaway over the weekend. 2 days, free download. I only have two birthday wishes: One, that Amazon will actually work like it’s suppose to… and Two, that many, many Kindle owners download it!
SPREAD THE WORD, CREATE A BUZZ, FRIENDS! [puts down bullhorn]
To ensure that I have no “evil Hyde” waiting to egg my face again, I’ll ask my wife to handcuff me to the bedpost on both nights of the promotion. That way, you’ll get your download, and I’ll get some good material for my next post. [It's called multitasking, folks!]
Have a good weekend!
