Attn: Paperback Lovers

March 15, 2012

In my survey* of readers, I’ve learned that there are a lot of you who prefer reading dead tree books. So for all of you, there’s a cool offer on Amazon right now.

Apparently, if you buy three things, you can get the fourth thing free. Not everything on Amazon is a qualifying thing, but my books are. So, if you want to pick up some things at Amazon, you can get one or more of my books included in the deal.

And coincidentally, I have four books available on Amazon. So, for $30, you could get the whole bibliography in snazzy paperback goodness. If you’re shipping to the US, my books all qualify for free shipping for orders over $25.

Just thought you might want to know.

 

* You can still fill out the survey and let me know about how you read. It really helps me make it easier for readers to find and get my work.

Celebrate Future Day with The Beauty of Our Weapons

February 12, 2012

I’ve just learned that there’s a movement afoot to create a new holiday – Future Day – and the first one will be March 1, 2012.

How fitting, since that’s the day that The Beauty of Our Weapons, a glimpse into one possible future, will be publicly released.

So why not celebrate the future with a paperback, ebook or starting an audio podcast? Doubtlessly, people will still read (or at least consume stories somehow) in the future.

IndieGoGo Campaign Update

December 5, 2011

Almost halfway there!

The fundraising campaign for the release of The Beauty of Our Weapons is almost halfway funded. I’m busy working on layout, editing and getting everything ready for the print versions and I’m hoping to have a preliminary cover design to show you all soon.

One of the limited rewards just got snapped up, so if you had your eye on one, you’d better get on it.

Thanks everyone for contributing and sharing this campaign. I appreciate all the support thrown my way.

If you haven’t taken a look at the fundraising campaign yet, check it out at IndieGoGo for pre-orders, limited edition hardcovers and other goodies.

Book cover for “Hamlet, Prince of Robots” by M. Darusha Wehm. A blue-green robot skull with a golden crown in the style of a neon sign, over a dark glitchy background. In the top left is a quote reading “Enormous fun and a real gift to lovers of Shakespeare or science fiction or both. Familiar and surprising, clever and moving.” From Kate Heartfield, author of Sunday Times bestseller The Embroidered Book.

Hamlet, Prince of Robots

Like Succession meets Blade Runner … an extremely compelling and satisfying read that allowed me to investigate my own place in our time of communion and interdependence with machines.

—Pip Adam, author of Acorn Prize winner The New Animals

Something is rotten in the state of cybernetics.

Elsinore Robotics is on the cusp of a breakthrough—the company is poised to create the first humanoid androids powered by true artificial intelligence. Their only rival, Norwegian Technologies, lost a publicly streamed contest between their flagship model, Fortinbras, and Elsinore’s HAM(let) v.1.

But when the first Hamlet model is found irreparably deactivated, the apparent victim of wild malware, the field of consumer cybernetics is thrown wide open.
