Speaking of SHTF and TEOTWAWKI...

Post by Coffee »

Speaking of SHTF...

Amazon is offering my latest book, for free-- for the rest of tonight and tomorrow (Saturday) ... but you need either a Kindle or an iPad with the Kindle app to get it.

Pit Bulls vs. Zombies

Veterinary pathologist Teri Matsen and her three Pit Bulls are locked inside the only government-sponsored laboratory on the island of Catalina. Meanwhile, a mutated canine distemper virus is causing domesticated dogs to die, reanimate and kill everything in their path... including their owners. When an accidental vaccine reveals that her dogs now speak English and have super strength, Teri and her Pit Bulls embark on a race to prevent the virus from spreading to the mainland and infecting the human population.

Wow, what? That's awesome! I just picked it up; looks like a blast.

You can probably get it with just any computer and use the Kindle Application (Windows or OS X on Mac) to read it.

Are you kidding?

I'm happy you are sharing this with us.  You remember I picked up a copy of your last book.

This one looks a little more exciting than Dogs of Our Fathers.

Thanks, Tex.  (I still can't read your screen name without laughing at that Churchill joke.)

Actually, the last one was: "Matzo Ball"...

http://www.amazon.com/Matzo-Ball-Harley ... B008QSYCN4

When members of the all-Jewish outlaw motorcycle club, "The Jew Boys On Harleys" are featured on the cover of L.A. Magazine, club president Steve Silverstein already had enough on his plate. But now his pistol-packing Bubbe and her 140 lb. Rottweiler "Matzo Ball" are missing, his vice president Marty "The Schmuck" Blumenfeld won't stop screwing around with the high dollar call girls they're supposed to be protecting, and a knife-wielding Filipino midget assassin appears to be targeting the rest of the Jew Boys. And to make matters worse: Steve just got diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. Can the club survive so much mishigas?

For those of you who don't know the joke:

In WWII, the Russians complained about the condoms sent with the Lend-Lease supplies. Stalin claimed they were too small. Finally, Roosevelt had extra-extra large specials ordered—and shipped in packages marked “Texas Medium.”?

I don't know why but Pit Bulls vs. Zombies sounds awesome!  And free is the best price.  Thanks Adam!

This was my first time writing in the first person.  And from the perspective of a woman, at that. 
Difficult.  Really, really difficult.  Next one will definitely be 3rd person.

I probably should have been wearing the chaps when I wrote it.  Could have made the whole process a lot easier.  ;D
