As I mentioned before, if you post about The Warhol Gang, review it, or otherwise mention it online, you’re eligible to win a new, unpublished short story called “We Continue to Pray for Someone to Hear Our Prayers.” The initial reception to The Warhol Gang has been great, and I’ve sent the story out to a bunch of people. But I know I’ve missed a few, so if you’ve mentioned the book somewhere and would like a copy of the story, just drop me an email, tweet, Facebook message, Goodreads message, etc. I’d love to hear from you. I’m trying to entertain a newborn while doing press for the book, so I’m not Googling myself as often these days.
And for those of you planning on attending one of the upcoming readings, I will have small gifts for you if you buy a book there or bring one to the event to be signed. Just a way of saying thanks for attending a real-life event.
Here’s the original post again:
Like most writers, I want to get as many people as possible talking about the book. And if not talking about it, then at least thinking about it. Hell, I’ll settle for people buying it. So as an incentive, I’m offering a new, unpublished story for free to anyone who blogs about The Warhol Gang, writes about in the local paper, includes it in a status update, puts it in their Goodreads reading list, Tweets about it, defaces bus shelters with Warhol graffiti … you get the idea. You don’t even have to own the book to qualify, you just need to help get the word out.
The story is called “We Continue to Pray for Someone to Hear Our Prayers.” Did I mention it’s totally free? That’s right — free! Don’t pay now, don’t pay later! And it’s only available to people who post/write about The Warhol Gang (for now). Just send me a link or a photo or some evidence that proves you did indeed talk about the book and you’re not just trying to take advantage of a poor writer’s generosity (scoundrel!) and I’ll send you a PDF of the story in a bit (it’s so new I have to wait for the paint to dry. Also, I’m still editing it!).
This offer is null and void if the link/post/comment/review is negative. What, do you think I’m crazy?
