This year we’re fully clued in on what Black Friday is and we’re completely prepared…
No, that’s a lie. We still have no clue what that is. Something about Thanksgiving? We give no thanks around here, so, insert shrug.
But, we know you like deals around this time of year, and who are we to judge?
We’ve discounted titles across the board on all retailers, not just Amazon, so feel free to browse around and see what you like.
Some short stories are free for a limited time (on non-Amazon stores), and the longer works are either 0.99 or 2.99 on all stores. Deals run from Nov 20th to 27th.
You can start the smart home of your dreams, the stepping stone to a horrible existence where you scream at the unresponsive devices that have gotten you locked outside (hopefully) or worse, inside your home with no way out!
You can get a cute little wiretap for your home that speaks! It can also provide evidence to court in case it is needed to prove that you did, in fact, abuse your wife before she murdered you with the steak knife you got as a wedding gift!
You can get a smart babycam with unplugged exploits so that paedophiles can watch your cuddly little baby!
You can get a video doorbell that can definitely get hacked to make you think your grandma is visiting instead of a group of burglars!
You can get a smart TV that watches you back while you sleep on the couch, tracks your viewing habits and reports them all in neat little packages back to ad agencies!
This is one we actually suggest you get, the Audible deal:
Seriously, that’s the only offer that’s actually good enough to get immediately. And perhaps a Kindle so you can read our stories in comfort (We got a Kindle Fire 10):
That’s all. Go buy something. Not the Kindle Unlimited deal, we don’t offer our titles in that (it requires exclusivity.)
It’s time again for the semi-annual Smashwords sale. This month only, they offer thousands of ebook titles at massive discounts of 25%, 50% and even 75%.
We’ve got two upcoming titles. One is the second book in the Nanodaemons series, the insane IoT programs that run our lives in the future. The second is the series starter for Cyberpink, a colourful blood sport.
You can get a video doorbell that can definitely get hacked to make you think your grandma is visiting instead of a group of burglars!
