Marvellous Hairy — on Kindle now for $3.99!

Marvellous Hairy -- available on KindleA slight deviation from the normal deviancy that goes on here at The Skwib. As you know, I am a writer of novels in addition to this blog, and my second book is now available as a Kindle edition.

As we lead up to the official release of the paper version, I’ve priced the Kindle version at $3.99. (Actually, I priced it at $1.99, but Amazon adds a $2 fee for downloading.) But even at $3.99 it’s a helluva deal. And it’s a limited-time offer!

You can buy it here, and find out more about the book here.

Marvellous HairyIf you’d like to join me for the podcast of my second novel, you can find the listing of them as they’re released at the Marvellous Hairy website. While you’re there, sign up for my newsletter to catch all the news as it happens.

The first episode (which is about twenty minutes long and covers the first two chapters) can be found at my other blog, on my author’s site. I’ve added the second episode now too. You can also subscribe at iTunes, and soon at Podiobooks.com.

Or you could just go get your own copy to read yourself. Just sayin’.

Is Mozart still alive?

One of the premises of my first novel is that Mozart is alive and well. (And living in the future, where clown wigs, political posturing, and human stupidity have been eradicated.)

In the book, Mozart spends a lot of his time playing jazz piano, considering sex-change operations, and falling in love with lesbian nurses, but how does he support these diverting hobbies? By selling “lost” Mozart manuscripts through auctioneers such as Sotheby’s.

Kinda like the one they sold yesterday:

A leaf in Mozart’s hand with cadenzas written for the Sinfonia Concertante in E flat, one of his first masterpieces, sold Tuesday for £110,900 ($230,550) at auction in London.

The full story is on the CBC.ca site. You can get the book directly from the ENC Press site, or at Alibris.
