AN OPENING ACT OF UNSPEAKABLE EVIL & RoommateFromHell.com

My new novel is just back from the printer. AN OPENING ACT OF UNSPEAKABLE EVIL is a tale of the urban occult told through online blog entries. I'm really happy with how the cover turned out, the right mix of strange and silly, with texture and shadows that are slightly forboding. If you were here with me I'd grab one from a box and thrust it into your hands, but since you're not, here's the next best thing.



Most people on this mailing list know that I publish my own books in Canada. Previously in the US I've been published by the good folks at Four Walls Eight Windows, but for this book I've decided to publish myself in the US via No Media Kings. I'm pretty stoked about this, and I think I have a good chance of making it work. It'll be launching simultanously in the US and Canada in September.



But between this foreign expansion and publishing two books in a year, No Media Kings is even more bare-bones than usual. So I'm hoping that I can get your support on getting the resources together to give this book a good push.



Wanna help? If so, here's a couple ways.



1. INVITE ME TO YOUR TOWN

E-mail me back if you'd like to help set up an event to launch the book. I'm hoping to cover a lot of Canada and the US in the next three months, and I've got a fun act and lots of great co-tourers lined up.



2. ORDER THE BOOK

Score some summer reading and help with my cash flow at the same time. Signed, sanctified and shipped to your door!





3. DONATE MY BOOKS TO THE LIBRARY

Check out my "No Media Kings, Yes Library Bling" campaign!





4. WORK AT A BOOKSTORE?

If you're planning to order the book, I'd like to send you some samplers.



5. WORK IN MEDIA?

Shoot me your address and I'll send out a press pack.



More unspeakably evil developments soon,

Jim





Pluse; while it's still brand new, I'd like to announce:

RoommateFromHell.com

...those of you who've read about my new book AN OPENING ACT OF UNSPEAKABLE EVIL will recognize that URL as the main character Kate's blog. The first entry's up today, and starting midnight tonight a new entry will be posted daily to the faux blog until the whole novel is online.



You can read more about it and add your feedback here.
