Cutting The Fat -- new novella -- now available on Kindle!
Cutting The Fat, the novella that I co-wrote with author Jason McIntyre is now available to purchase at Amazon!
The book, which was originally an impromptu online novella, written online at BestsellerBound, is about Nestor Maronski, a book reviewer who writes scathing reviews of self-published books. 'Cutting The Fat' is a sometimes gruesome, sometimes humourous, compelling thriller about a plot to kill Nestor Maronski.
The character, Nestor Maronski, can be found on Twitter: Nestor Maronski -- Twitter and also on Facebook: Nestor Maronski -- Facebook
Some of the members of BestsellerBound.com also featured spoof interviews with some of the characters from 'Cutting The Fat' on their blogs. You can read those here:
Joel Blaine Kirkpatrick: The Tale's The Thing
The Secret Writer
Jaleta CleggThe Far Edge of Normal
Darcia Helle A Word Please
Susan Helene Gottfried West of Mars
The ebook of Cutting The Fat also features some bonus material:
An Excerpt from Thalo Blue a novel by Jason McIntyre
The short story 'Only Time Can divide Us' from my latest short story collection, Fusion.
Jason and I are due to be interviewed about the book on author Darcia Helle's blog and she will be giving away an exclusive 'Nestor Maronski Must Die' t-shirt and some pdf copies of the book. More news on that soon.
Here's a link to Amazon, where you can purchase the book on kindle for just $0.99/£0.71
