Amazon released Trample the Weak a day early.
Weird.
But okay.
Link is below.
As always, please, please leave a review. I read every single one, because they are usually nice and they fuel my writing ego.
And thank you!
For both visiting this site, reading this email, or hopefully… buying the book for everyone in your extended family and gun club!
This is the most effort I’ve ever put into a book… after writing it. Usually I just hand the manuscript over to the Publisher, they work their magic, and I look at it, then press Approve – and that’s it.
Now I’m actually trying to learn advertising, primary search words, researching which Amazon categories I need to use, heck – even book formatting. (Thank you ATTICUS program!) Oh, and pre-orders.
It’s a lot to take in a short amount of time. Hopefully it will all equate to a higher measure of success and more book sales.
And frankly, the more books I sell – the more I get to write.
So bring on the success!
Anyways, Pre-Orders are still on. Link below:
May 30th is release day.
That’s when the EBooks go out and the Paperbacks can be bought. Audible is on the way. Christopher Alan Lyell just signed the contract this morning.
He’s pretty excited and he’s got a great voice and future.
I gotta use him while he’s cheap and before he gets into big demand….
So, please head over to Amazon, buy an Ebook for yourself, another one for a Marine buddy, and maybe a few more for Father’s Day gifts and Christmas and such. And then when the paperback comes out, buy some more. Leave a copy in every bathroom you visit!
Future Generations will thank you. 🙂
Erik!
These are always fun to write. I typically do it as I’m rounding the final corner of the manuscript so it’s a cool milestone to hit. I’ve still another 12-15,000 words to write and then polishing, but I’ve been hitting about 1.5k words a day. Which is the best writing I’ve ever done in terms of sheer volume, and from what I’ve been churning out, I don’t think much editing will be needed.
I learned today that there are ‘over writers’ and ‘under writers’. Over Writers tend to be extremely verbose and write too much, while Under Writers will lean towards not being wordy enough in terms of description, dialogue, etc.
I’m definitely an Under Writer. If I had to choose, I’d prefer this anyways as it means when I go back to edit instead of cutting big chunks out, I’m adding to the story.
But anyways, I wrote the Back Book Blurb today.
Here it is. (Subject to change.)
***
Corporal Henry didn’t sign up for adventure.
He signed up to kill the enemy.
And as the Marines of the 2nd Division push back the Empire of Japan from their heavily fortified islands in the Pacific Ocean, he is given the chance when they are tasked with taking Yeuhan Island. A small island with an airfield vital for the coming invasion of mainland Japan.
It is there, underneath the sand and bodies, that a secret of the Imperial Japanese Army will be discovered hidden inside the island.
The Emperor’s Unit Thirty-Five.
A sadistic combination of fanatical scientists and soldiers, who search for the mysterious, the wonderous, and the unknown. Anything that will aid their empire in crushing the Americans.
On Yeuhan Island, they found kaiju.
And it is up to Corporal Henry and his small band of degenerate Marines to kill them all.
Or the tide will turn, and the war will be lost.

Coming soon.
Gunpowder and Ink!
