 Who likes free books? Who isn't into those damn fangled digital whatsits with their crazy screens and non physical copies? How about a chance to get a free paperback? Here's an upcoming giveaway on Goodreads where one lucky reader will win a signed copy of Damned Lies, the first book of the Damned Lies Series! The giveaway starts Friday, 12/5 and runs through the weekend!
Damned Lies is an absurdist tale and the snarky, geeky memoir of a man who either is suffering a concussion or has had the most fantastically unlikely life. Stuck in the hospital with a broken leg, he reminisces about the summer after he graduated high school. He spins a tale of how he cloned himself and then went on an unlikely summer adventure across America, filled with such things as a hobo boxing tournament, zombies, a dark sorcerer in a vast wasteland, a nun, a vampire, and even two giant robots. And even after all of that, there is still the very important lesson he learned on why cloning yourself is not a good idea... Damned Lies is just the first book in a series of fantastic and utterly ridiculous adventures. There are already two more books in the series: Damned Lies Strike Back, the memoirs of the narrator's college years and his war with his homicidal clone's Lovecraftian cult, and Damned Lies of the Dead 3D, the memoir of Austin, Texas's zombie outbreak of 1995. Here's what readers have been saying: "A fast-moving, ever-shifting and often hilarious story-within-a-story" "Charming and quirky" "It's a road trip into a meta-mash of beyond-the-fourth-wall, post-irony adventure." "If a story could take a far-out acid trip, this is what it would be! " "Weird, quirky, and geeky as Hell" "combines absurdist humour and the picaresque in a manner reminiscent of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy."

Voices of Madness WHAT IF GOD WENT MAD? Compelled by screaming voices, sorcerer William Drake travels across America in a desperate attempt to resurrect a god.

Will they stop him in time? Or will the voices succeed in compelling their puppet Drake to do the unthinkable? Find out in this standalone prequel to The Lost and the Damned! Excerpt Not Dead Yet Cowards and Killers "In the end, most of humanity are one of two things: cowards or killers." When Michael died, there was no Heaven waiting for him, no eternal rest. There were only two choices: Hell or killing his fellow man. Waking up after death in his own bed, he began receiving calls from a mysterious voice. The voice offers a simple option: become an assassin and kill those it designates. Refuse and the power that keeps him in the world will be removed... and he'll go straight to Hell. Coward or killer, he accepts the deal. In a black suit and tie that conceals his identity with a black gun that never runs out of bullets, he is their assassin. But he is not alone: there are other tortured souls who have agreed to the same bargain. They are all Hell-bound; only by killing their targets before the timers on their phones count down do they postpone their fate. But this is a fate Michael won't accept. Together with other agents, he plots to rebel against the mysterious voice and the blood-soaked deal. But can they really win this fight when the voice holds all the cards? With each kill, his humanity slips away. Is there a way to escape, or do all roads lead to Hell? Excerpt First Chapter  Been curious about my recent book, Voices of Madness?

There is a darkness waking up in the Bellingham mental hospital. Around this evil, the building is twisting and distorting, becoming a place of monsters and murders. With each death, the darkness grows stronger. Doors are opening to other times and other places, reality is shifting. Into this comes John Keats, a private detective more accustomed to catching infidelity than missing persons. In pursuit of a half a million dollar bounty, he has tracked down missing rock star Katie Vanders to Bellingham, but he has no idea what waits inside. It should have been easy money: go in, get the girl, and leave. But now that he is in the hospital, he has no way out. The exits are blocked, the hospital is falling apart, and something is chasing him. Even after finding Katie, there is no escape from this trap. His rescue mission has become a game of survival as the hospital twists apart across time and space. As deadly secrets are uncovered, a malevolent intelligence is awakening. Can John and Katie figure out how to stop it and escape the hospital, or will they find themselves forever lost in darkness?
