Title: I've written a book
Post by: Zap on January 25 2012, 10:52:58 PM: Details can be found here.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Witchkillers-Book/173469352671553 (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Witchkillers-Book/173469352671553)

It should be available on Amazon Kindle shortly, but the first 12 Chapters are available for free. The book would garner a very very hard "R" rating if it were a movie, so be aware of this.

Thanks

Thanks, freak!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071R3JWQ (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071R3JWQ)

I suggest downloading a sample from Amazon, or the 12 chapters that I posted a link to first. If you like the first 12, you're gonna like the rest, if not, you won't.

Just don't be like effing George RRRRR Martin and take six years to get it out. My mortality is hanging like a flying ebb about my neck.

Post by: Zap on January 27 2012, 08:19:52 PM: I can just imagine you drawing two ivory-handled kindles out of a twin cross-draw holster, reading "War and Peace" in one hand while "Atlas Shrugged" occupies the other.

If I sell a million copies, a sequel is assured (999,997 to go). :cool;

Thanks for the review, by the way :icon_super:

Added another $2.99 to your retirement fund.
So far so good!

Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Steve Wood on January 28 2012, 06:33:13 PM: My first thought was the book was Stephen Kingish...but then I thought cross King with Koontz and twist the hell out of the storyline, then have jeff foxworthy read it aloud!

Post by: Zap on January 28 2012, 07:11:07 PM: Actually, Plan Nine from Outer Space infamy is just as dandy as...uh, famy, as long as it pays. That's a lotta "ases" for one sentence.

Face it, I'm too damn weird for comparisons.
Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Steve Wood on January 28 2012, 07:25:36 PM: don't know about weird, but, you got a hell of an imagination! I believe you could do this for a living if you want to put in the perspiration

Post by: Steve Wood on January 28 2012, 08:12:08 PM: seems to work for you....boggles my mind how you came up with such a complex plot and character description... I was sure I would find mothman in there somewhere, however
Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Zap on January 28 2012, 08:17:31 PM: Mothman IS a perfect character for a horror-comedy
Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Zap on January 28 2012, 08:21:56 PM: However, the only way to make any money in the horror genre (unless you're Stephen King) seems to be catering to the teenage girl demographic -- with books featuring Sissy-assed vampires. Sigh
Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Steve Wood on January 28 2012, 08:27:31 PM: I like the Zombie fallout books by Mark Tufo.....makes me laugh as well as wonder if he will make it.

Of course, I like the Zombieland movie with Woody Harrelson-be sure to get him to star in the movie adaptation of your book
Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Zap on January 28 2012, 09:24:45 PM: Somewhere out there, Michael Clark Duncan is hoping that the book gets made into a movie, because he's the only one who could possibly play a certain part.

I wanna kill sissy-assed vampires with a pneumatic-powered semiautomatic crossbow -- armed with exploding bolts.

Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Zap on February 05 2012, 01:49:34 AM: Apparently, I've actually pissed off either a witch (or a witch sympathizer) on facebook. Someone posted a link to my book, and some fruitcake went off on a rant about "going back to the dark ages...most witches are nice people...blah blah blah..."

My life is now almost complete -- just need to publish those pics of Steve Wood and the Alpaca, and I can die a contented man. :icon_super:

Post by: Steve Wood on February 05 2012, 10:05:41 AM: Your book was not about most witches...it was about three twisted sisters
Title: Re: I've written a book
Post by: Zap on February 05 2012, 12:44:09 PM: It's easier to criticize without reading the book. Now if someone could just organize a massive nationwide protest -- just think of the free publicity :icon_super:

I don't have a kindle, tablet pc, smartphone, or any of that, so I just used my PC. I reckon it'll work on whatever you can load a kindle reader onto. The kindle reader you can download (google "kindle reader for pc") and they have it for any number of smartphones, etc.
