ChiZine Publications is running a special Fantasy Fire Sale through the month of July. Among the many great deals is a chance to buy the ebook of the Shirley Jackson Award-nominated and International Thriller Award-nominated Chasing the Dragon for 20% off, if you order it directly from CZP’s website. That’s $6.36 instead of $7.95! But as they used to say in those Ginsu knife commercials…that’s not all!
For a limited time, you can also buy the trade paperback of Chasing the Dragon for 30% off (that’s $7.67 instead of $10.95!) directly from CZP’s website and receive the ebook edition free!
Essentially, what this breaks down to is this: You can buy the ebook for $6.36 or, for basically one dollar more, you can get both the ebook and a copy of the trade paperback to keep, donate to a used book shop, give to your friends, or sell on eBay after I sign it for you at Readercon or Necon.
But again, this special sale only works if you order directly from CZP’s website. So hop to it! The Fantasy Fire Sale ends when July does.
This is quite possibly my favorite thing ever today. A young woman named Sarah Ferreira posted a video review of Chasing the Dragon on YouTube, and I adore it!
Click here to see the review on YouTube. (I tried embedding it, but apparently I have all the technological prowess of a Neanderthal.)
I can’t decide whether my favorite line is “That dragon is witty!” or “This is not YA. There’s a lot of gore and gruesomeness in this book.”
Anyway, thank you for the great review, Ms. Ferriera. I promise in my next book the flashbacks won’t interfere with the action scenes so much. In the meantime, keep reading, and keep sharing your thoughts on books with the world!
A new, much buzzed about website called Bookish launched on Monday after a long series of delays and setbacks. A joint venture between founding partners Penguin Group USA, Hachette Book Group, and Simon & Schuster, the site ultimately looks like little more than an unnecessary Goodreads clone: You can rate books, mark them to-be-read, and get recommendations for other books you might like. Still, given some time to evolve it might turn into something a little more interesting and unique. We’ll see.
Of course, I couldn’t resist looking up my own books on the site. Only two are listed there: my novella Chasing the Dragon and the IDW prose anthology Zombies vs. Robots: This Means War!, in which I have a story. Now here’s the funny thing. It’s a glitch, I’m sure, but this is their description of Chasing the Dragon:
You might be saying to yourself, um, that’s not Chasing the Dragon. You might also be asking yourself what the fuck book that is, because it sure as hell isn’t Chasing the Dragon! I mean, I would read that book, but it’s not Chasing the Dragon. A quick Internet search of some key words in the description leads me here. That’s one mystery solved, anyway. But why this description is attached to my book is beyond me.
Anyone else discover any wrong descriptions on the site, or am I just super lucky to be the only one?
Let’s hope Bookish gets its act together soon, because if this is any indication of its quality, it ain’t gonna last long!
