The Point Blankers can make pretty sharp writers too. Post here and tell the Blanksters about the books you wrote.

Hi y'all (hope you're well).

So, I'm closing in on publishing my first book. It's called Burning Crowe and I've been working on it for over two years (admittedly inefficiently).

Anyway, it's about ready for release (I think) and I'd like to get some advanced reader copies out there.

Basically what I'd like is a bunch of readers who'll take the book for free and let me know about any final typos, and/or inconsistencies that I have missed.

In a perfect world you'll like the book enough to buy it for the intro price when it's released, and it would be amazing if you felt like leaving a review on Amazon, but it's totally cool if you don't feel like doing that.

One caveat is that I do need people who can read this fairly fast. So if you've got a big stack of to-reads, you might not have time for Burning Crowe and this might not be for you.

I just want to get some more hard-boiled eyes on my book before I release it into the wild - to fall or fly...

So, if you're up for it, the link is here. It expires next Wednesday, and there's a limited number of copies.

If you can help me out that would be just smashing! ;-)

I hope it works. I paid for BookFunnel which is supposed to work well.
And thanks Kurt, that would be amazing.

Hi all. My book is actually, finally out.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

If anyone felt like buying it, that would be awesome. It's real cheap (at least for a bit).

Kurt (aquaranger) | 44 comments Congratulations on getting the book out Geoff! I’ve read it and I would recommend it. Point Blank listeners, give it a read and support a fan of the show.

Samuel Clark | 2 comments Hey there. had a noir short story publsihed online last year that may be of interest.

and have had a couple of novels published by small press, but they're more in the gothic horror vain.

Hope you're all doing well.

Manny Torres (mannytorres) | 2 comments "A fast-paced hangout novel!" McNally Jackson Books, Manhattan

For fans of Breaking Bad and the TV show Atlanta, here is Dead Dogs. In the style of Elmore Leonard and Gabino Iglesias, two Atlanta misfits in debt to notorious dog fighter and drug dealer Boots Tumbler are coerced into working for him. Desperate to pay him back, these two misfits go elbow deep in blood, dirt, and gristle, cleaning up dog fights, delivering drugs, and disposing of dead bodies. Whatever the haul, they shovel it, bag it up, stuff it in the trunk of their 1982 Cadillac Deville and drive it off for disposal. The misfit pair fumble their way through various criminal adventures, across lost highways, encountering a circus of outlaws and revolutionaries living on the margins of society.

Available now in paperback and Kindle. From Amazon and Barnes & Nobles.

Daniel James | 2 comments "Grab onto your seat and get ready for a ride!" Amazon ARC review

Hi everyone. If anybody has any room on their ever-growing piles of books to read, my pulpy revenge novel PIGS is out on Kindle for $2.97
I know money can be an issue these days, and I can't do a FREE Kindle Unlimited deal because my former agent published the book, and therefore I'm not sure if I can still hit him up for deals. But if you have any spare change, and if it piques your interest, I would appreciate your perusal.
