Corvid
(You heard me) giveaway! All my books, free for kindle users (which
is a free app also) starting FRIDAY, March 19th, though to
TUESDAY March 24. (Except Rubberman's Citizens, which is only
eligible for 19th-20th, due to a recent
giveaway) -oh, and as always, they're on kindle unlimited for those
who have that, and miss the giveaway, or just wanna credit me some
points.. :P
SO,
this entails the entire Lifehack series including the short Cassidy's
Ladder, the Rubberman series as it exists thus far, and The Many
Grape.. glib descriptions:
----------------------------------
Lifehack:
Girl meets nano-controlled zombies, doesn't like em. Meets another
girl, other girl doesn't like HER, love, death, techno zoms. My
zombie stories aren't as gory as many zombie fans might like, tastes
vary, many non-zombie readers have really enjoyed Lifehack.
Watching
Yute: Lifehack's world, 2 years later. Different girl, melancholy
angst, finds love, and more angst, and more angst. This is not a
happy book. I love it, but people who need a happily ever after story
can steer clear. Contains some zombie-type content, but not much,
really. I guess they were feeling too angsty.
Cassidy's
Ladder: A short story, with zero sci-fi, and zero zombies, that
focuses on the main character dealing with all that sticky angst she
was left with. For those who realllly need that happy ending.
-although this can be read and make sense even if you haven't read
Watching Yute
Echoes
of Erebus: Last book in the Lifehack world. Another 2 years later.
Different girl, who technically isn't a girl, trying to figure out
what that means, and what to make of the fact that her dad/creator
LIVES IN A CORNER OF HER BRAIN, and was responsible for all the
zombie fun from Lifehack. And she's made largely from reconstituted
fish bits. Zombie content: Notable. But moreso for zombie-related
abomination thingies. May contain a talking lizard.
All
of the above constitutes the entire Lifehack series. They can all be
read independently and they make sense. On to the Rubberman series-
----------------------------------
Rubberman's
Cage: Boy grew up in an environment about the size of a house with 3
Brothers and a guy in a rubber suit in his ceiling who controls their
daily routine. And that was all he knew to exist. A couple of people
die, hero goes exploring through what turns out to be a 40 story deep
facility that's been running independently for generations, resulting
in fractured sub-cultures that all hold dear to their own versions of
ignorance as to what's actually going on. And our hero learns about
such crazy things like... like papayas, and elevators, and these
lumpy men called …. wo-men. And somehow a tree is going to eat his
Brother, but that's hard for him to get his head around.
Rubberman's
Citizens: One of the areas in the Facility is the Citizenry. They
were once the luckiest around, but over time, they've degraded into a
brutal little society where systematic abuse is inescapable and
expected. They used to lock everyone else in the facility out. Now
everyone in the facility keeps them locked in. -but seeds of
rebellion were bound to take root eventually. Leena leads against an
increasingly insane local dictator, but keeping her friends and loved
ones safe as the next dictatorship begins in the wake of the last
one- will take some out-of-the-box thinking.
Rubberman's
Exodus- SHUT UP, It's not done yet!
----------------------------------
Also
in the giveaway is The Many Grape. It's really better in paper form,
due to being made more than 50% of illustrations, but it's still
readable if you click and zoom and all that junk as you go along. So
what is it? I've been fOrTuNaTe enough to have done many a month of
time in the hospital. Meals come on a tray, and on the tray is a
packing slip. These packing slips are often worded in odd ways, such
informing me I was getting ONE GRAPES. Or HALF BANANA. Not half A
banana... but HALF BANANA. Begging the question, half banana and half
WHAT? In response, I began doodling stupid little things on the
packing slips to amuse myself in the short time between finishing the
meal and the tray getting picked up. Th staff liked them, so... BOOK.
In contains pictures of the packing slips and their defacement by me,
and some kind of comment about it, and/or hospital life. It's a goofy
little thing.
