Yes, Virginia, gas can go bad

When I was researching MORTAL LOVE: AFTER THE FALL (now available free), I wondered what would happen to gasoline after, say, 30 years. Well, a quick Google search gave me a definitive answer. Gas will indeed oxidize (e.g., fancy term for “going bad”) after 12 to 15 months. Here’s a link to a brief article on the topic.

Now available: Free!

Decided to offer MORTAL LOVE: AFTER THE FALL for free, since it’s really more of a fun, quirky project that I immensely enjoyed than something with terribly broad commercial appeal. (I’ve heard this a few times now, so I’m going to believe it!) Of course, I will be still be running the giveaway on June 20 and participating in launch week promos as scheduled.

You can download the complete book here. Enjoy…as long as you are 18+, since it does contain explicit sex and potentially disturbing content centered around a VERY dysfunctional relationship.

Get your fork, ARCs are ready!

ARC stands for Advanced Reader Copy, and ARCs of MORTAL LOVE: AFTER THE FALL are now available! These are near-final drafts I’m providing for free to book reviewers, bloggers, and avid Goodreads users who will consider posting a review within a week or two of the June 20 release date.

Not sure if you qualify to receive an ARC? Here’s what I’m looking for:

*You have a blog…or
*You contribute reviews to one or more blogs…or
*You’re active on Goodreads and post frequent ratings and reviews…and
*You’ve read the description of MORTAL LOVE and perhaps the sample chapters, and think you may enjoy the story…and
*You’re 18 or older.

Also, please keep in mind that accepting an ARC is not a firm commitment to post a review. It’s just a commitment to give the book a chance. I understand that some people will love the book–and some will not. And that’s OK!

If you’re interested, check out the synopsis, the sample chapters, the FAQ, and the ARC request form.

Here’s a quick recap of book launch activities now underway for MORTAL LOVE: AFTER THE FALL

#1: To celebrate the launch scheduled for Friday, June 20, I’m giving away four $25 Amazon gift cards. You can enter the drawing here

#2: If you’re a blogger or a book reviewer (or just active on Goodreads!), I’d be glad to send you a free e-copy. (Mobi and ePub formats available.) Of course, I understand that accepting a review copy is not the same thing as a commitment to post a review, and that all reviews–the good, the bad, and the ugly–will be honest. Get an ARC here. Read sample chapters here.

Thanks so much!
