Be a mensch: Hook your pals up with a free steampunk sexbot ebook!

Gentle Readers,

Sorry to go off message for a moment, but I have a less DIY, more scifi announcement:

The Kindle ebook giveaway for my steampunk novella "Tucker Teaches the Clockies to Copulate" is *this Wednesday through Friday* (February 22-24)!

Wanna help spread the love and catapult the propaganda? Rad! Please feel free to share this link as far and wide as you deem fit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006RTWZF6 (The book will be ABSOLUTELY FREE starting on Wednesday).

Wanna share a few images from the book? Here are links to a couple of nice examples of the new, original art from Chad Sell:

    Wanna blurb? Howsabout:

    This Nebula-nominated novella was first published in Paradox magazine in 2008 and answers the pressing historical question: What would have happened if a crippled, alcoholic, Confederate veteran living in Utah Territory taught clockwork robots to have sex?

    Thanks again for your help!

    One last bit: Amazon reviews are a *huge* boost to lil guys like us; if you read the ebook and like it, why not take a second to post a review? If you read the ebook and don't like it . . . um . . . well, then, please feel free to grouse vociferously and at length in your home or place of business, among your closest confidents and immediate family--even send me a personal letter, or pick a fight with me on the streets of Ann Arbor, MI. Let me directly address your concerns about the literary merits of clockwork sexbots and foul drunkards without the cold intermediary of Amazon's star-based review system coming between us.

    One way or the other, *Thanks!*

    With Love, I Remain,
    Yr dave-o . . .
