THE NIMROD - ANNIVERSARY SALE AND LIMITED EDITION COVER
So it was almost exactly one year ago that Gary Sloane was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Things went a heck of a lot better than anyone ever imagined and the small legion of fans Gary found - screwballs all, I'm sure - deserve special notice. Which, not coincidentally, they are going to get right now.
SOOOOO...for this week only THE NIMROD has an ANNIVERSARY COVER and is priced at a scant 99 Cents! See what you get at Starbucks for 99 cents! Not much. See what you get at the 99 Cent Store for 99 cents....again it ain't much. This really is 99 cents.
In addition to Gary, THE UNSLEEPERS is also gonna be at the promotional 99 Cents! Hell maybe I should throw in a chamois cloth too! Get in there and READ the new book! I'm counting on your continued support!!
Slainte!

Amanda Knox Free! Casey Anthony....free????
Call me crazy but I never thought the Italian legal system was any damned good after I started looking into the conviction of Amanda Knox. Knox's trial wasn't the kind of sensationalistic event here that say Casey Anthony had been. But it should have been and for a lot of good reasons - not the least of which was that it was fairly obvious from the very beginning that this was an innocent woman.
They had the real murderer behind bars with his DNA at the scene. They had nothing whatsoever in the way of physical evidence against her. There was no "logical" reason she or her then boyfriend Raphael Solecito would have ever committed the murder of her roommate Meridith Kercher in the first place. By all accounts they were friends. At worst they were openly cordial.
What they DID have was a judge/prosecutor who said that he "could see it in her eyes that she did it."
Huh? Hello??? Are you serious?? I thought Italy was this charming land where all minds were somehow more enlightened. You know a place worthy of its reputation as a seat of intelligence, passionate romance and the Roman Empire.
Well it's also a country of mopeds. And Nutella. And judges worthy of a seat at the Salem Witch Trials.
They found some redemption today by letting Amanda go in the appeals courts.....after FOUR WASTED YEARS. It really does make you wonder how many innocent people are actually incarcerated for foolish reasons or on short logic and or even evidence.
It also makes you wonder how many clearly guilty people have walked a'la Casey Anthony.
And what of Casey? Was she innocent the day they let her out of that Florida prison??? Unlikely. Very, very shake-that-hot-body-while-your-kid-is-missing unlikely. But here we can make the same mistakes obviously. The difference being that in Italy it was over-zealous desire to see Knox in jail that got her in; in Orlando it was under-zealous jurors in a culture that will do anything not to pass judgement that set her free.
So that's a difference. But have a look at the similarities:
Amanda Knox is today 24 years old.
Casey Anthony is 25.
Amanda Knox, even on just her appeal was in court for years.
Casey Anthony by contrast had a relatively speedy processing.
Casey Anthony at her trial was staged - each day she looked more like a small town librarian.
Amanda Knox would be in street clothes, the court like a barn.
Amanda Knox had to repeatedly and passionately argue for herself - in a language she had to learn!
Casey Anthony never said a word, but gave plenty of facial expressions.
When acquitted, Amanda Knox nearly collapsed, her face drawn and her knees weak.
The day after Casey Anthony was acquitted, she appeared in court no longer the librarian but as a flirtatious siren.
Interesting. Very interesting.

Here's another FIVE STAR review for THE UNSLEEPERS posted by Cheryl from Ohio today! Thanks, Cheryl!
So I reiterate... What's your blood type..aaaa book type? I give this one an A positive. This is NOT you run of the mill vampire book. This is so much more!! The characters are alive...but... maybe not, the story flows with 5 main characters, each with a troubling past and with each twist and turn will keep you captivated. If you're looking for steamy vampire seduction...this one is smokin' hot!! I'm anxiously awaiting book 2!

The UNSLEEPERS BK1: Love Will Tear Us Apart is RELEASED!!!!
Okay gang, well at loooooong last THE UNSLEEPERS BK1: Love Will Tear Us Apart has finally hit Amazon!
There were a lotta roadblocks over the summer to get the first installment in the series together - any of you guys ever had Lyme Disease??? Oh man. Seriously. But I survived, I got it done and it's out there now. And thank God you guys, my readers old and new,are already loving it! There's always that anxiety when you first release your work, y'know?? Will they like it? Well....seems like you do!!!
I can warn you in advance. This series isn't like THE NIMROD at all. As one 5 star reviewer of THE UNSLEEPERS wrote today:
"As the author forewarns in the beginning, this book is NOTHING like "The Nimrod." That, however is no reason to overlook this particular story. Where "The Nimrod" was comedic, satirical and outright fun, "Unsleepers, Bk.1" is dark, compelling and sexy"
I think that pretty much sums it up actually. I even set out to write a dark, compelling, unique and sexy book. I love the sexy vampire genre and anything X-Filesesque but I drop off (as you may have surmised from Nimrod!)at the sanitized vamps.So what I did was get all original on ya' with a Vampire vs. Love Avenger book. What's a Love Avenger you ask???
C'mon now....just buy it and find out. Its gonna be an interesting ride! Come with.
