My new novel is up for grabs!

[animalracer]

My new novel is up for grabs! RESERVE YOUR COPY NOW!!

The waiting list for the first printing is nearly sold out....let me know if you're interested in getting/staying on the list!!


:Excited:I`ve been working on this book for five years, and am just tickled pink that it`s done! My first novel is headed to the publisher soon, and will be available in the first quarter of 2012. I`m pre-selling copies of the limited-edition first printing, signed and numbered, for $15 to offset
publishing costs.

No trikes, but the basic premise is a biker takes on his club for their behavior, then gets caught up in a war with them, the cops, the feds, and various low-lifes. He recruits some friends to help, and there are gunfights, explosions, car-chases, and some surprises.

I hope everyone has a a terrific New Year. Animal

Check it out at Larry "Animal" Garner - Author of D-E-D, DEAD

 

[Blondie Gal]

Congratulations!!! It's an enormous achievement and we're proud of you!! Looking forward to reading it - what's the title? (What? NO TRIKES?????? LOL!)

 

[Bikerbozo]

I love riding. I love reading. And I have lots of time in airports. Please PM me where and to who to mail a check for pre-order.

 

[Papa Zook]

How do I order one?

 

[animalracer]

Wow..............thanks for the interest! ThumbUp The title of the book is "D-E-D, Dead", kind of an inside joke about one of the characters who's been known to say things like "That SOB is dead, D-E-D, Dead.":laugh:

Before editing, I'm over 130K words, over 400 pages. It will be professionally set up and printed, with a professionally done cover. I'm self-publishing. It started out as a deal for family and friends to read once I got done, but I've been talked into doing more than that. I plan to sell it in person at bike rallies, trike events, car shows, stuff like that. At least I'll have a good excuse to hit all those events. "Honey, I need to go sell my book.":Shrug:

If you'd like to get on the list, let me know your real name, etc. and I plan to have a website up shortly with a PayPal button, or you can send a check or money order.

Thanks again for your interest! I'm really tickled to have people interested in my work.

If it has nudeity in it-i might be interested!

 

[animalracer]

Not much nudity, other than a little time in a topless bar....This guy's too busy tryin' to save his butt to have time for naked shenanigans. Sorry :Shrug: As an aside, I used to live in Vernal....not a lot of nudity there, either.

This rocks Animal!

Aminial let us know when the web site is setup and the address to it. CONGRATS on the accomplishment.

 

[animalracer]

Thanks, I appreciate it. If anyone has a favorite number they'd like to request, I'll put your name on the list & you can pay when I get the website set up.

 

[Papa Zook]

Thanks, I appreciate it. If anyone has a favorite number they'd like to request, I'll put your name on the list & you can pay when I get the website set up.

If you mean as in order number or book number, put me down for #1 !

 

[animalracer]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm pre-selling the limited edition first printing of 200 numbered/signed copies. As for #1, my wife claimed that a while ago. Actually, numbers 1-11 are spoken for since I posted this earlier today, and there are a bunch who want books but haven't expressed a preference for a certain number.

I hope that helps....I get kinda scattered every now and then.

 

[animalracer]

Things are going crazy......if you'd like to reserve a copy, let me know. I'm amazed at the number pf people who are interested in this book!

 

[Greydog]

Good luck with your book!! Be sure to call or visit your local newspaper and let them know about it. Also your local library might let you set up a "Book Signing". I wrote a "How To" book on scroll sawing, called Animal Portraits In Wood, which was published by Fox Chapel back in 2006 and did a lot of my own promotion in local surrounding towns. That can be pretty successful if you approach it agressively and treat it like a job. Again, good luck and I hope it becomes a very successful effort!!

 

[oldladytriker]

Congratulations. That is wonderful. I would like a copy too.

 

[animalracer]

Thanks for the advice! I have already spoken to a friend at the local publishing company that puts out the various papers in this area. I also know most of the radio station managers from my charity fund-raing days. I plan to hit all of the papers, radio and local tv stations I can, then hit all the rallies and car shows I can, working around my job. We're having a party to pre-sell copies of the first printing, and I've been spreading the word ot everyone I know (and don't know lol) Thanks again, and I really appreciate the interest!ThumbUp

Wow...thanks a lot! I appreciate the support. I've got a copy reserved for you, will put your name and address on it when I get it.

I'll be doing all the stuff I've been avoiding (getting a small business started, opening a bank account in that name, building a website) this week. At first, this was going to be a lark, for friends and family, but it's taken on a life of its own. I've got the local newspapers wanting to do a story, as well as the local Tv station. I guess I'll ride it as long and far as it goes. Maybe not far, but who knows?

[animalracer]

I just wanted to remind those people who want a copy of the first 200 limited-edition signed and numbered books to get your reservation and payment in as soon as possible. There are still some available , but they're going fairly quickly. Don't miss your chance to get one of the first printing!
