My friend wrote a book. I'm proud of him. I don't know if it's good or bad, but if you promise to read it I will buy you a copy.
Post Body

After two years my friend finished his first book. I laughed at the characters he drew in his notebooks as a kid. I watched as they influenced his world. I saw the book change from a small forty page draft into a full novel. I helped him design the cover. But now when it's finally came out, I've found myself without the time to read it (at least for now). I recently got a new job out in the bay area, and while it pays very nicely, my relocation from Honolulu has left me with little time on my hands for the next few months. I don't know how popular it will be, nor how good the book in itself is. But I want people to read it since I can't.

Because of this, I'll buy you a copy. Any format. You want it in paper back delivered to your house? Leave a comment and I'll PM you so I can get your details. Got a nook or a kindle? Leave a comment with your email and I'll send it to you as a gift. Want it in some other format? I'll make it happen. Just promise me you'll read it.


Rhyme & Reason: The Fallacies and Foibles of Our Fairytale Friends

Synopsis:

Good and evil have bickered and bruised each other since the dawn of it all...but what of madness? In the land of Fabul familiar characters are nothing like the nursery rhymes and storybooks told us they were. Masked prisoners, picaroon captains, devious witches, and gallant wolfmen are just some of the citizens of Apologue fighting against the cruel King Coal. Yet there is something else stirring amidst the shadows of the nothingness. A group of madmen who owe their allegiances only to unbridled chaos and aberration. Under the banner of Folly they've come to spread about a philosophy that will bring all sanity to its knees. Yet perhaps there is some semblance to their charge. From the flying picaroon ship of The Conviviala, to the Glazed Citadel in the Frosted Mountains, to the fractured world of Dementia; Dauger and the other members of Propriety must fight to uphold righteousness and reason.

At work, will keep ordering when I get home (yes reqs are still open, and kindle requests make my life easy so they're preferred if you have one!)
~30 sent so far, keep the reqs coming!


edit - 6pm PST
Hey all, passed my planned budget of $500 (so far I've sent out 28 paper books and 19 ebooks). As such, I'm going to no longer take paper book requests, I'm sorry... they're just so much more expensive than their digital clones and I want to get the book out to as many people as possible :(
That said, for everyone who requested a paper book already, I will ship the book to you. It may take a few weeks, maybe even a month or two. I'm going to focus on the ebooks first, but once I get my next paycheck or two I'll send out the paper editions again.

TL;DR - Ebook requests are still open - paper reqs are closed
