Fraggin' Update #768

SOLD OUT
The Boy with the Pale Skin will go live soon. As in, whenever I sober up and get it on the server. Maybe by Friday, if I don't drink too much. It will cost $4.99 Happy Holidays. HAR!
Next item of business, I strictly limited the Dunkin hardcover to 100 copies. The cover is retired and will not be used again. But, I shot myself in the ass because I've received numerous emails asking to buy one. You can't. Nor are any copies of the GCC Supercraptacular DVD available. There are fourteen audionovels unavailable anywhere else. You get them here and the cost to purchase them all is over $70.00 That's at the current cost of 4.99 to six-bucks each. As I have stated before, ANYONE who has ever purchased ANYTHING from this site will get ALL new books for six-bucks. ALL of them until my liver realizes imminent corpus delicti and files a charge with the final prosecutor who weilds a scythe. HAR!
So, after I wracked my brain for a new special, I came up with this for you new listeners. A dual paperback release. Dunkin one and two in the their own dead tree book, and Devlin one and Dunkin 3 in thir own paperback book. Each with new covers done by anyone but me. (Yes, and Dunkin will appear on the cover) Both will be signed. Both will have a DVD pocket inside the back cover. One DVD will contain ALL the audiobooks listed below, including The Boy With the Pale Skin, the other DVD will contain all the literary lugwrench episodes which can't be bought anywhere for any price. PLUS, you get immediate access to ALL the instant downloads listed below, including:
Devlin Abnormal Investigations: Case File Cleft Behind
Zane Sickle Comic/Adventurer For Hire
No, You Can't Have It
Bluetooth Bayou
Dunkin the Vampire Slayer 3: It Ain't Over Til the Fat Man Stings
Global Swarming
Devlin Abnormal Investigations: Case File The Gourd of Destiny
Devlin Abnormal Investigations: Case File The Hell Hermit—re-record
The Boy With the Pale Skin
Hard Boiled Headline
The Literary Lugwrench episodes (not available elsewhere)
The cost for US domestic buyers is $33.00 International buyers, and again, the damn post office charges 13 bucks to ship the package. I've researched. Looked into every available postal method and that's the rock bottom cost. It sucks, and I can't help it, so International buyers will pay $46 bucks. This two-paperback volume, two-DVD edition will be numbered and limited to 999. It will be signed. Pre-orders begin now. This is for the new listeners. I keep the costs inexpensive because I control everything. In continuing that prctice I offer this as the new special to replace the GCC Supercraptacular DVD.
As for the Literary Lugwrench, yes, they are fun to do, but they never generated any revenue. So they've been removed from iTunes and any future ones will be streamed from this site only. I got enough problems trying to figure out which book to work on everyday when I fall outta bed with a blistering hangover. I Tell ya, I got too many books underway at once. I don't know how it happened, but I'm finishing these and working on ONE AT A TIME from now on. Crimany! What a friggin' mess. I got half-finished manuscripts cluttering the desktop. All of them screaming "Me! Me! Me!" Then I have to reread the bastard to remember what the hell I had in mind. Sheesh!


Comments
Har! I ain't going to refuse it. I just wanted to make it clear this was not a veiled attempt to extort money from established listeners. You are all, each and every one, important to my rum stores. Heh! ALso, this thing is not shipping yet. I haven't even received the artwork for the cover. I want Dunkin on this one. Well, a bunch of you want Dunkin on this one and I will make it so. But, I am neither efficient or speedy.
I clicked on the PayPal button to order the $33 special plate - Dunkin with DVDs. PayPal came up but didn't ask for my password, etc., as is the usual. What's up, doc?

Yes, it takes you to a staging area where you then hit the Paypal button. I had to sub out the file delivery. If more than five people bought at once from the old system, the site crashed. Dang audiobooks are too large. 500 megs is the kind of thing no-one wants to deal with. Especially when I release a new book and fifty people are all trying to download at once. The bandwidth police hate me. I'll probably be run out of business someday. Have to mail CD's or something. But, yeah, it's safe. Click the paypal button and you go directly there. Make the purchase, an email is sent from paypal which triggers an email with links sent to you.
