Well that was quick.
Sort of.
I’ll explain in a minute.
But for now, I’m very pleased to announce that Part II of
the
Hack saga
is available,
exclusively for Kindle.
I was worried for a little bit that Amazon wouldn’t get it posted
in time. This half-baked marketing plan of mine required that I get the second
part up by this weekend, when the absolutely
free giveaway of Innings 1-3 is scheduled to go off.
But Amazon pulled through, and we’re live, so no hard
feelings!
I think after reading the first part, you’ll be very
interested in continuing on to the second. Hell, I’ll be totally honest: that’s
the premise behind giving the first book away for nothing, right?
So far, the beta readers really like both parts, I’m happy about how they turned out,
and I think most folks will really enjoy them, especially if you’re a baseball
fan.
If you aren’t, don’t worry. I think the trilogy is, at its
heart, a character drama that happens to take place on a minor league baseball
team. I explained it to someone else as kind of like Lost, only without the magical island and shitty ending: at its
core, this series is about the characters involved.
Also, if you’ve been reading my Rams stuff or listening to
me on the radio: sports! Granted, it’s not football, but I think if I wrote a
book about some thinly-veiled representation of the NFL at this point, it would
come off a bit like Any Given Sunday,
which is to say “completely ridiculous to most people, but absolutely accurate.”
Anyway, I’m rambling.
Check out part one for free, this Sunday, Opening Day. If
you like it, pick up
Innings 4-6
afterward.
Innings 7-9 will be out by
the beginning of May.
And if you like what you read, please feel free to leave a review on
Amazon or Goodreads. Oddly enough, both base their recommendations on how many
people have rated the books positively on their sites. It’s a crazy concept, I
know, but I would really appreciate the honest feedback!
One more time, I do really appreciate the support. Most
folks really seem to enjoy JWATT thus
far, and I think if you liked JWATT
you’ll really like Hack. Thank you
all for your continued support of this blog and my work, from the bottom of my
heart. It’s a great feeling to get up in the morning each and every day and look forward to what's ahead of me!
