Luc Reid's new flash e-book




Hello,



I wonder if you'd be interested in a free review copy of my new eBook, Bam! 172 Hellaciously Quick Stories, a vast collection of flash fiction. It's something to read one story at a time at bus stops and in line at the grocery store, or else to read a dozen stories at a sitting. Bam! follows normal characters in strange and impossible situations: parallel universes, robot insurrections, inexplicable light bulb thefts ... it tells of Cinderella's divorce, inventions gone horribly wrong, heartbreaking successes, children with the power of gods, a self-aware teddy bear forgotten for decades in a toy box, and much more that is unlikely and yet (one hopes) familiar and meaningful.



I'm a Writers of the Future winner, the author of a popular blog about the psychology of habits (www.willpowerengine.com), the founder of the Codex writers' group, a former radio commentator for Jacksonville, Florida NPR affiliate WJCT, a founding member of the flash fiction group The Daily Cabal (www.dailycabal.com), and a columnist for Futurismic (www.futurismic.com). My fiction and non-fiction have appeared in Strange Horizons, Clarkesworld, Abyss & Apex, Brain Harvest, and elsewhere.



If you're interested in reading and possibly posting your candid opinions about the book on a blog, Amazon, or elsewhere, I'd be happy to provide you with a free review copy. I expect to have a print edition out next year, but currently only electronic formats are available:



* .mobi (Amazon Kindle and some other eReaders)
* .EPUB (most other eReaders)
* HTML
* Microsoft Word
* Adobe Acrobat (.PDF)



If your computer, smart phone, iTouch, or eReader needs a different format, just let me know.



Best wishes,

Luc Reid
