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.

Eat lots of canned sausage. 

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.

Award-Winning Nonfiction Memoir

 Yes, that would be MY award-winning, nonfiction memoir. Thanks to a sterling review by editor-in-chief Thomas Anderson, How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years received a Literary Titan Gold Book Award. (As depicted below.) I'm just vain enough to plaster that award everywhere.

Deals and Discounts on Free Kindle Books and Tips

 

Why Announce Them and Not Others?

For the simple reason that they promoted my marathon book. But other literary bargains, free and discounted, are contained within their pages. So, you see, it's not all about me here.

Promotions and Reviews and Book Sales, Oh, Goodness Me!!

 Coming Soon! You Have Been Warned!

Amazon



It's only fair. With the release of my book on perseverance, acceptance, and running a lot, the early launch of the paperback edition, and a busy August, the next two weeks will be a blizzard of promotional back-scratching, self back-patting, and old-fashioned look-at-me-ism. 

Deals are lined up and in the pipeline on a variety of fronts. I am obliged to promote; promote loudly. Then I will fade quietly away until its time to hawk the next book. That's why the stinking things don't sell very well. I reward myself with little vacations that stretch into considerable time blocks. 

In any case, the levee has been breached. The marketing flood waters surge. You will know of this book.

Animanicast and Author John P. McCann

Or JP Mac as if says on the books. The good keepers of ancient knowledge over at Animanicast interviewed me about a Pinky and the Brain episode I wrote called "Spellbound," as well as inquiring about my upcoming book on loss, acceptance, and running a long way: How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years. Give a listen. 

Discounted for pre-launch; live Thu. September 9.

Publishing Blues


CoolClips.com

September 9 is the day and I'm really behind with the print book. I sit down in front of the computer in the morning and arose myself sometime in the late afternoon or evening. Most of the challenges involve formatting. Lately, my laptop goes with me into the living room where I turn on the TV and concentrate on the laptop.

Very weary of all this self-publishing business. The next book goes out to publishers. I can write another one while the first is being rejected.
