Immortal


Five stars

Check in today with a new five star review of Immortal from The To-Be-Read Pile.  The review can be found here.

A new addition to my TV reel

I appeared with publisher Amanda Hayward yesterday afternoon for a spot on KCAL channel 9, CBS Los Angeles.  The subject was the rise of erotica and the e-book, so Immortal, while appearing in my hand, was not discussed.  BTW, there was simply no way to not slouch in those chairs.

On vampires and immortality

I have a guest blog entry up today at Lytherus.com concerning the modern vampire and immortality.  It’s worth a minute of your time, to hop on over there and give it a read, and maybe a comment or two…

TV appearance

Below is a link to the video of my appearance this morning with Amanda Hayward as we discuss ImmortalHellenic Immortal, and some other book TWCS used to publish.  If you’re curious, yes, my right hand IS stapled to my thigh.

Good Day NY

 

A big splash

This afternoon the book reviewer at Lytherus.com checks into the tour twice, with a review of Immortal and a nice long interview with me.  Take some time and enjoy both…

Immortal review

Here’s a new quick review from This Real Mommy, who is also offering a free copy of Immortal for anyone who wants to offer comment on what they’d do if they were immortal themselves…

New Immortal review

To kick off the second week of the blog tour we have an exceptional review from the folks over at Game Vortex, reading the books in order and talking about them in order.  And given the praise for Immortal I can hardly wait to see what they think of Hellenic Immortal.  Pop over there for a read.

New interview

Meanwhile, at Workaday Reads the morning feature is an interview with me that you’ll want to read.  Because, why wouldn’t you?  Check it out here.

Questions answered and other things

Question: Is Hellenic Immortal on sale in a print edition from Amazon?

Answer: It is available through Amazon here.  The semantic distinction has to do with the fact that TWCS is using a consignment approach to print book sales with Amazon right now.  In my opinion you’d be better served ordering it directly from the publisher, here.

Question: is Hellenic Immortal available on the Nook?

Answer: Not yet, but it will be in the next day or two.  Immortal is available on the Nook right now, though, here.  Also note Barnes & Noble is discounting it right now.

Question: I saw your name attached to an ebook called The Other Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, but when I bought it I found it had nothing to do with you.  What’s that about?

Answer: Nobody actually asked me that, but it seemed like a good time to bring this up.  A company I am unassociated with put up a $3.99 version of my legitimate book The Other Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: A Parody in ebook format.  The contents are… well, who knows what they are, but they aren’t mine.  I’ve had the bogus listing pulled from Amazon, but it’s still up on iBooks and Nook.  DON’T BUY IT.  There IS a legitimate ebook version of this parody.  You can find it here.  It says “anniversary edition” and it’s only on sale at Amazon at this time.

New Hellenic Immortal review

My new best friend Tracy James Jones, who checked in earlier with a review of Immortal apparently speed-read Hellenic in time to get a review up.  You can read it here.

A big week

The official release of Hellenic Immortal is on May 3rd, which is somewhere between forever and minutes from now, depending on my mood.  To kick off the event we will be having a good old fashioned big-ass blog tour!  Herewith, the badge for said big-ass blog tour!

To start things off we have a few reviews.

Over at Great Minds Think Aloud comes a great review of Immortal by Tracy, who appears to have liked the book quite a lot.  (Why a review of Immortal for a blog tour promoting Hellenic Immortal?  Because we’re promoting both books this week.)

At Cafe Art Space you’ll find a nice review of Hellenic Immortal waiting for you there.

And finally, at Ja Citam, A Ti? you will find a review of Immortal waiting for you there.  Mercifully, in English.

Blogs will be updating more than once a day all week, and I will do my best to keep you all updated.

IBooks

You would think given that I read books on my iPad all the time, and that I use the iTunes bookstore, iBooks for all my iReading, that I would do something any normal writer would be expected to do, like, say, obsessively check for my own book in their store.

I did not do this, which is why today while I am announcing the great news that iBooks is carrying Immortal, I cannot sincerely tell you how long this has been true.  I am just very happy that it is true.

Immortal on iBooks

But look at me burying the lede!  The BIG news is that you can pre-order Hellenic Immortal from iBooks right now!

Let me say that louder.

YOU CAN PRE-ORDER THE EBOOK FOR HELLENIC IMMORTAL ON IBOOKS RIGHT NOW!

I can’t build a link to it, but if you open up iBooks and do a search for my name, you’ll find it.

(You will also find a bogus listing for The Other Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook there.  The contents are a Joseph Conrad novel.  Apple, you’re the best.)
