www.professional-liar.com

Hello my fine reading friends,

Be sure to check out my website.
There's a free story there. It's even illustrated. Did I mention it was free.
http://www.professional-liar.com/stories.html
To the left there you can see an image from the story. The story is about a young man who lives in a junkyard and makes sculptures out of coke cans...WITH HIS MIND! 
When the junkyard is about to go out of business and him and his dog will be homeless, he has to take drastic action and prove to the world he exist.
Go check out the story and see what happens.
I might have mentioned this but it's free.
If you like it, don't forget that I sell stuff as well.

Please let me know what you think of the story.

About all this Professional Lying.


About all this Professional Lying. Image from Wikipedia
H.P. Lovecraft (that's him looking so dapper to the left) said every story should have the verisimilitude of a good hoax. I couldn’t agree more. For me a story isn’t good unless part of my brain thinks, “This could happen". People want to be swept away by stories, and it also gives me a clear goal: Tell a convincing lie. This is my mission and why I like to think of myself as a professional liar.
It's also fun to consider that people will actually pay you for just making stuff up.
I lie. You buy.

Novel for sale.

Black Redneck vs Space ZombiesHello my fine reading friends,
I uploaded my first novel to Amazon yesterday, and I'm quite anxious to see how it's going to do.

I've built it, now I'm waiting to see if they come.

Not too many people know the book is out in the world yet, and people don't purchase things that they don't know exist, so I'm considering a couple of options to get the word out.

One, a GoodReads ad. This makes sense to me as this will reach people that actually read.

I already have a Facebook page for the novel and may try an ad there as well. However, I have a feeling it will be easy to get people to "Like" it but it will be harder to sell books on Facebook. People are there stalking their ex's and don't want to be interrupted with my novel.

If you have a chance give Amazon $2.99 and give the book a read. It's a lot of fun, and, if you don't buy it, it's like you're trying to make the world a worse place. Just kidding, but give it a try.

Here's the Amazon link:
