G.M. Nair's Excuse For A Newsletter #5

You there, boy! What day is it?

Yes! You there, boy! What day is it?

Goddamnit, Chet. We went over this.

I say “You there, boy! What day is it?” and you say “Why, it’s Tax Day, sir!”

No, it’s... it’s like the end of ‘A Christmas Carol’? You say it’s Tax Day, but then I talk about how I actually released my new book today. It’s a joke.

Ugh, y’know what? Over there. Sit in the corner. Go away from me.

*sigh*

Anyway…

The One-Hundred Percent Solution is finally here!

Yes, my lovelies, you can finally purchase the sequel to Duckett & Dyer: Dicks For Hire today! It’s available on Amazon as an eBook for $3.99, as well as being free on Kindle Unlimited.

You can also buy a paperback copy off Amazon for $14.99, but if you’re thinking of grabbing a physical copy, I 100% recommend you call your local independent bookstores - or even Barnes & Noble - to order one, for three very important reasons.

1. Hey, it gets me on their radar.

2. Bookstores will be the first place to get the beautiful hardcover copy (if you’re into that).

3. In these crazy times, your local indie bookstores need all the support they can get. A lot of them are doing curbside pick-up, too, which is real sweet.

If you don’t know where your closest local independent bookstore is, I suggest checking out IndieBound.Org. They do good work.

You can also order copies from my store at dS-dF.com directly (including autographed copies), but I think bookstores could use the money sale more than I could at the moment. So, for a limited time only*, if you buy a physical copy from a bookstore and desperately want it autographed by some weirdo you’ve never met, shoot me an email ([email protected]) with a picture of your book and your smiling (or frowning) face. I’ll put together a bookplate with my signature and get it sent to you for FREE (because we need to support the USPS, too). I haven’t figured out how I’m going to do this yet, but I figured I’d make the promise and hash out the details later.

But I digress, I really hope you enjoy The One-Hundred Percent Solution, regardless of your choice of hard or soft copy. Writing it was a lot of fun and, actually, a lot quicker than the original Duckett & Dyer. Turns out having all the characters and arcs figured out ahead of time makes for easier composition. Who knew?

If you do read and like it (or even hate it), I’d highly encourage you to post a review on Amazon, Goodreads and any other venue of your choosing. As an indie author it helps me out a whole lot.

*This offer ends when the plague does.

But wait, there’s more!

In light of the sequel release, I’ve made the eBook version of the original Duckett & Dyer: Dicks for Hire absolutely free from now until Sunday, April 19th. So if you haven’t picked up a copy for whatever reason, here’s your chance! Kudos to you for waiting out for a free copy. What a sound fiscal decision you’ve made! You can grab your copy on Amazon here, and it’s always free on Kindle Unlimited.

Likewise, if you opt to order a physical copy from your local bookstore, the free signed bookplate offer extends to this, as well!

But wait, there’s EVEN MORE!

Earlier this month in a vain attempt to get people’s minds off of the mindnumbing slog that is social distancing and isolation, the Sci-Fi Fantasy Fools Guild put out ILL HUMORS a FREE Anthology of Humorous Sci-Fi/Fantasy Short Fiction. I was lucky enough to be included and produced a Duckett & Dyer short story that takes place after The One-Hundred Percent Solution. It’s called ‘The Strange Little Life of Adrian Pancake’, and it’ll be the first story in the collection of shorts that will make up Duckett & Dyer 3: The [REDACTED] of [REDACTED] [REDACTED]*.

So if you’re down for some free funny short stories and want to take a look at what the future of Duckett & Dyer hold, download the free ebook here on SmashWords!*The Legend of Curly’s Gold.

But wait, there’s - nothing? No. There’s nothing more.

I just gave you a bunch of content, guys. I’m tired. Go enjoy The One-Hundred Percent Solution. If you like it, tell your friends. If you hate it, tell your enemies. In either case, I’d really love to hear what you think! Feel free to send me your love and hate mail. I love reading it.

Hope you all have a good week, and stay safe!

NO!
