Good Morning Texas
The Writer’s Coffee Shop is on the road and promoting, even when I’m sitting here talking to you folks. Below is a link to a clip from Good Morning Texas featuring an interview with Amanda Hayward and Jenny Pedroza from TWCS. (I tried embedding footage, but it doesn’t seem to want to give me a clean URL for it.) Hellenic gets some great attention toward the end of the piece.

New York City
Well folks, it looks like I’m going to be in New York City on Thursday and Friday this week. (That’s May 10th and 11th, for those of you reading this from the future.) The hotel room is booked, the hair is cut, the wardrobe is… well, it is what it is.
And I’m NOT AT ALL NERVOUS.
Why are you not nervous?
I am NOT AT ALL NERVOUS to be appearing on Good Day New York on Friday morning with the publisher (TWCS) to discuss Hellenic Immortal in front of, I’m sure, an extremely modest crowd consisting entirely of friends, family, and the entire East Coast and Canada.
Nope. Not nervous at all.

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.

Also as of today I will be calling them TWCS_PH so as to avoid carpal-tunnel.

Also up today are the book pages for both Immortal and Hellenic Immortal. You will find there the publication dates, the pre-order dates, the new covers, and the book summaries.

Appropriately cryptic
Unlike the last cover I showed you (for Immortal) the cover for Hellenic Immortal is likely to be something you’re not going to fully “get” right away, in the sense that it’s depicting something from the contents of the book. Thematically, the new cover is linked to the previous cover in obvious ways and still retains the “ancient man in modern world” motif. I hope you find it interesting.
