Frankenstein Vs. The Titans, a two color, gonzo urban fantasy buddy cop novel, will be released on Kindle and Smashwords JANUARY 17TH, 2014.

Frankenstein Vs. The Titans, a two color, gonzo-urban-fantasy-buddy-cop novel, will be released on Kindle and Smashwords JANUARY 17TH, 2014.

Theo Frankenstein's father refused to give him a name. So Theo made one out of his accidental biographer's most famous work. Audrey Sefton had no clue that his new posting as a detective in special services would mean policing monsters. And he's not sure that he likes keeping it classified. Westhoeven is a small Midwestern city, and a reservation where the U.S. government has secretly located all manner of supernatural entities. Today, something has started killing wizards, threatening to ignite a war between wizards and monsters. Today, Theo must break in his new mortal partner, find out what his monstrous girlfriend is hiding from him, and solve the mystery for his backers in The Agency. Or Westhoeven may get stomped flat.

The nice thing about being a self independent publisher is that you get to set your own schedule. I've got an indy-clean manuscript, and I'm putting it online in January to see if I get a bump from the I, Frankenstein, movie release on January 24th, which I would have been geeked about even if I hadn't decided to finally put The Monster in a buddy cop novel in 2011. Frankenstein's monster in a modern Paradise Lost. Like Pacific Rim, except with the monster subbing in for Johnny Socko's robot and Angels and Demons subbing in for Monster Island.

I know there' some other stuff in there, but Johnny Socko Vs. Monster Island is what plays in my head when I think about Pacific Rim.

SO... Indy publisher. Set your own schedule.

I will release Frankenstein Vs. The Titans on Kindle and Smashwords JANUARY 17TH, 2014, to be followed by releases on other stores, including: Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, PageFoundry, and the Diesel eBook Store.

I still don't like selling books to my friends, so I am going to FREE-LEASE Frankenstein Vs. The Titans FEBRUARY 14TH, 2014. This is a SUPER-SEKRIT free-lease, largely because nobody but you guys even knows who I am. (I know, right?) I am going to make it free for Kindle to all comers, publicize it on Facebook, and if you send me an email address I will send you a coupon code for an EPUB version through Smashwords. I respectfully ask that if you have any feelings about it one way or the other, you review it on Amazon. KTHX.

And then I'm going to do some other stuff to promote it, ALL YEAR, while I am writing Frankenstein Vs. The Dream Eaters. Any body want to write an article about me for MLIVE? Anybody?

Anybody?

Bueller?
