Author's Tier special: Full First Chapter of The Send-Up
Added 2024-06-14 22:04:40 +0000 UTCIt occurred to me that you, who signed up for all the rigmarole and jay-pegs of my studio, might actually want to see a bit more of my debut novel. I mean, it's right there in the name of the tier.
So, here it is. Enjoy a bit of light weekend reading! The document is attached. Please do not share it around, unless you are on a tickling basis Mr. Simon or Mr. Schuster.
I feel like this full teaser chapter is enough to give a sense of the book, but not enough for a future publisher to say, "We were about to cut you a life-changing check, but then saw that you released too much of it to your Patreon supporters, and that is just not the sort of thing we can countenance around here, within the inscrutable traditions of our industry, Mr. Onstad. Good day, and don't steal anything made of brass on your way out."
In my defense, I'm still editing this thing, and probably will be until the manuscript is shot across the sea to Hong Kong or Canada, or however that goes. (In the case of Canada, I am given to understand it will still be transmitted via the undersea Internet cables, which apparently carry 95% or so of our digital reality.)
