Everything You Need To Know About WREATHED, In One Convenient Place

Did I mention that I have a new book coming out? Because I totally do, and it’s awesome and you should read it and tell all your friends about it and make me rich. This is everything you need to know about it.

It’s called WREATHED. You probably knew that already.
It comes out on Tuesday, November 4th, 2014. So not that far away.
You can buy the e-book now. You really can! Not that a lot of people have done that yet, but it’s possible and you should at least try. It’s at Amazon. It’s at Barnes and Noble. It’s at Apple if you like the iTunes universe. It’s at Smashwords, and Smashwords will let you download the first 20% if the book if you don’t believe me when I tell you how awesome the book is.
Right now, I have the book priced at $3.99 US. Because most people are cheap, at some point, defined as “probably just as soon as I can schedule it with BookBub,” it’s going to go on sale for 99 cents. I am being honest with you about this, because even though I want you to buy it RIGHT NOW for the FULL PRICE, I recognize that you might want to wait on the 99 cent version. I can explain that the $3.99 book gets me about three bucks of my very own, while the 99 cent book gets me thirty measly cents, as though that makes a difference to you, but really, I’m cool either way. Like, whatever.
I have two children that are going to college AT THE SAME TIME. But do not — DO NOT — let that stop you from ordering the book at the 99 cent price point if that’s what you want to do. Really! I don’t care. That much.
The cover art is terrible. It is terrible because I designed it. I KNOW THIS. There is a new cover that is being designed right now by not one but two talented artists. And it’s not ready yet. I’ve seen the initial sketches and they look incredible but it’s still not ready yet and I can’t show it to you and this is causing me a fair amount of angst for no particular reason other than, guys, I really want to see what the cover of my book is going to look like. You understand. I will share it when it’s ready but IT’S NOT READY YET and this is bumming me out a tiny bit.
The book, as awesome as it is, needs reviews to make it even more awesome. The way this works is simple enough. I can, like, totally tell you that the book is awesome, which it is. IT IS SO AWESOME, YOU GUYS. But I wrote the book, which means that even though I know more about it than anyone and can explain exactly to you WHY it is SO AWESOME, nobody will believe me. This is not because I am not trustworthy. Oh, I am trustworthy. You have no idea. But there are so many other people running around saying, “You guys, my book is awesome,” and they are LYING, so you might think I am lying, too. So what you get other people to do is to write reviews, and if enough of them write good reviews, maybe, just maybe, people will believe me when I tell them how awesome the book is. Got it?
So if you are the kind of person who writes reviews, you can get the book through NetGalley. For free. You can ask me for a free electronic copy, and I will TOTALLY give it to you. I will! Just sent me a note at curtisedmonds (at) gmail (dot) com and I will e-mail it to you if you pinkie-promise to write a review on Amazon (once the book is released) or Goodreads (which you can do right now).
I have gotten one review so far, which reads, in its entirety:

This book was ok. Very long and drawn out. It had some funny parts to it but ultimately boring.

I had a sad when I read this.
I don’t like it when I have a sad.
I want to have a bunch of people like you read this book because it’s funny and engaging and wise and I want to make a million dollars and move to Barbados. But mostly I want you to like it, and tell me you liked it, because I am needy like that.
So buy it, already. Keeping in mind what college will cost twelve years from now. And tell me you liked it! And tell a friend! Tell EVERYONE.
Honestly, I don’t think this is all that much to ask.
The cover art is going to be awesome. And the artists wrote me back yesterday to tell me they’re ALMOST READY to start on it. So there’s THAT.
I have a new client at work to deal with and my wife is flying to California for a conference next week and I have to take my car in to the shop on Friday and I have an hour-long presentation on Saturday that I do not have one slide ready for and a conference of my own to plan for that next week and it would make me feel so much better if just one person pre-ordered the book, and really, I don’t ask for much.
Please.
Thanks. You’re the best.
