JustKindleBooks Promotes 'Marathon'

 Go to their fine platform as they promote discounted and free ebooks on the great Amazon beginning tomorrow, Sept. 6. Wednesday, Sept. 7.

If Lumen 5 ever delivers a video, I'll post it below. I was hoping for something unusual that combined AI and my imagination. So far, nothing.

Collaboration Between Lumen 5 AI and Writer JP Mac

 

justkindlebooks is featuring my new book on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Wednesday, Sept. 7.

My book is called "How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years." 

An award-winning, nonfiction memoir, 'Marathon' tells the tale of an aging runner. 

This man is hobbled by operations and his own failings, as he attempts to run another marathon. 

There are no vampires, steamy love scenes, or werewolves. 

If you see any next to this book, then it's probably not my book.

My head is made of iron from old bridges.

Humbug.

UPDATE:

This was a test to see what Lumen 5 AI came up when presented with unusual dialogue. Pretty disappointing. When stumped, the AI chose images with some kind of corporate graphics. A bolder AI has yet to make an appearence. I had to swap out most of its picks to keep the video from being a total snore.

Super Summer Book Sale 2



Day two dawns upon the super summer sale. Last night, I returned home and shopped. One of my purchases included tales of mecha, or giant robots. Think Pacific Rim. These limbed machines "are usually—but not always—large, humanoid vehicles controlled by a pilot. Mecha are commonly bipedal, although they come in a dizzying variety of shapes and sizes. There is some debate as to what qualifies as mecha and what doesn't. Much like art or pornography, one knows it when one sees it."

I don't read much mecha, but for free or 99 cents, I'm inclined to give it a try. One of my ebook selections last night was Adam S. Furman's Collateral Damage: A Kaiju Thriller. I'm familiar with kaiju. According to the Urban Dictionary, they are a "type of creature exceedingly common in Japan. Usually over 200 feet tall, they are known to frequently wander into cities and cause massive real estate damage."

The story is described thusly: Destructive Battles Rage Between Hellish Kaiju and Giant Mech Protectors. 

The sides and the stakes are set. I'll review the tale in due course. But right now, I'm awash in ebooks—the sale is all ebooks—and six more shopping days remain.

Visit the sale. Explore new genres. Sample the wares of hard-working authors. More tomorrow.

Comparing a Proofread to a Copy Edit


Amazon


My eyes ache from this task. I published Hallow Mass in 2016. Having since excised around 4K words, I commissioned a new proofread and a copyedit. Typos were still found. Hopefully, this tidy version with hot new cover art will set the stage for Volume 2. I hope to promo soon and release mid-summer. Other than that, life fortunately continues. I'm grateful.
