What A Prize It Would Have Been: My Book! · Nov 19, 11:30 AM
That day you've all dreaded draws nigh. Well, sort of.
I will have a book out in plenty of time for the high-holy gift giving season, in fact I should have a pre-order shopping cart set up by early next week. However, the first issuance from Blasted Bastrd (yes, that's how it's spelled) will not be Dim Views -or- Apparently, I'm An Asshole. Instead, BB01 will be Sucker!
I felt that perhaps my first publishing attempt should be more a 'dipping the toe' into the waters of book mongering, so for Sucker!, I'm piecing together a smaller sampling of the "Why We Suck" columns that appeared in Stomp & Stammer. The selected columns will go through less revision (and scrutiny) than for Dim Views and will exists as something a wee bit bigger than a chapbook. Okay, it'll be nothing like a chapbook.
Because of this decision, the plans for Dim Views include expanding the scope of the book by including more material never read before, or at least read in smaller numbers. Also, fair warning: it will include some of the material from Sucker! I'll be shooting for an early/mid 2009 release.
If all goes as planned (fingers crossed), the un-boxing of the initial shipment of Sucker! should be the first week of December. Although I haven't decided on a final price, I'm expecting that the pre-sale price will be a super cheap $5 plus shipping. The price will most likely double after that, but again, that's just speculation at this point. The book will be considerably more expensive on Amazon, so please buy from me!
Of course those prices are subject to change with my mood. Here are five factors that could cause the price to fluctuate:
- Whether or not I like you
- You buy it from me in person
- You buy it from me in a bar and I need beer money
- You're cute
- You're in the book
If the last one on the list pertains to you, then you can expect a hefty increase. Your best chance at a discount would of course be number 3...
