BookBub, Hard Exit, and Derpy Robots


Hey,

A lot has been going on...

1. I landed a BookBub Featured Deal for Hard Carry

If you don't know BookBub, it's one of the hardest promo slots for a small author to get (small in terms of reach; I'm average-sized as a person, I have average reach when it comes to like cupboards and stuff. It's mainly world domination that causes me problems). Anyway, BookBub turns down most of the books submitted to them, and this time they said yes on my 3rd attempt. I'm super happy.

2. Hard Exit is out 15 October

Book 3 of the Neu-Berlin Arc. This time the job is in the non-corporate zone in Bosnia, and they have an eight-hour escape window and a 100-year-old Audi Sport Quattro S1. Think Mad Max meets Prison Break. It's on pre-order now, and pre-ordering helps more than you'd think.

And it's cover reveal time. Here it is in all its glory:

3. Book 4 is underway… sort of.

It's called Hard Reset. A fan favourite from one of the earlier books is back. There's a convoy, there's Morocco, and there are some derpy robots. US friends, I'm not sure if you have derpy as a word; I think maybe the closest is goofy or dumbass.

That's it for now.

Talk soon,
