Black Friday is a glorious work of literature.
I know we’re only three months into 2017, but I can undoubtedly state that Black Friday is one of the best novels of the year. As a critic, I commend Hodges, and as a writer, I thank him for not adhering to the cookie-cutter genre tropes which befall so many other novels.
Black Friday is the best damn thing since sliced bread and a definite must-read.RATING: 5/5

I’m excited to be appearing at Miscon 31 this year. Looking forward to participating on the panels, which are always my favorite event.
Miscon runs from May 26th to the 29th at the Holiday Inn in downtown Missoula, Montana (pretty much the greatest place in the world).
You can read more about Miscon 31 here.
If you haven’t yet, swing by my official Goodreads page. You can check it out here.
I’ll be posting a few signed copy giveaways soon, so stay tuned.

Patricia Sundstrom wanted it. No, she didn’t want it, she needed it. All the coupon sites were pointing her to the SaveRite waffle iron. She maneuvered through the slog of webpages with purpose, her breath quickening as she glanced over each deal. QuikCoupon.com. Zoot.com. GroupSplurge.com. ThickWallet.com. Hordes of online shoppers posted in sales threads on the forums, exclamation! points! after! every! word! Her favorite social media sites pinged her with sales updates. Sweat peppered her upper lip and forehead as she clicked away. Her Altec Lansing computer speakers she nabbed last spring from Quick Steal at fifty percent off beeped. Fresh email. She clicked the message, delighted to see it was from her friend Nancy. Even more special was the subject line: SALE! SALE!
Nancy was a great bargain hunter. In a way, Patricia was envious because Nancy had a knack for finding local deals—ones they could drive to, unlike the online experience. She could find all sorts of goodies at garage sales, and even managed to rouse deals from stingy shop owners.
Hey everyone, I’m really thrilled for this one.
I remember being 16 years old, and sitting in my best friend Eric’s room, listening to an audiobook. In this case it was Stephen King’s The Mist. I was enthralled, and thought one day, I’d have an audiobook too.
The book is read by Charles Constant (How to Win at the Sport of Business by Mark Cuban) and he did an incredible job.
Available where books are sold.
