Massive Kindle sale: AXIOM-MAN Superhero Novels on Sale for Just .99 Cents Each!

From Axiom-man Central:

For a very short time I’m offering my superhero novel series, The Axiom-man Saga, for just .99 cents a book for the Kindle. That’s a crazy discount, but I really want to spread the word about the character so I figure offering it cheap is the best way to do that.

Here’s a list of what’s available is (again, for just .99 cents, listed in reading order). I’ve also put an abridged synopsis beneath each title. Just click on the thumbnail to download your copy.

Axiom-man:

One night Gabriel Garrison was visited by a nameless messenger who bestowed upon him great power, a power intended for good. Once discovering what this power was and what it enabled him to do, Gabriel became Axiom-man, a symbol of hope in a city that had none.

First Night Out:

The messenger has fled, leaving Gabriel alone with mysterious abilities he knows little about. As he embarks on the path of discovery, Gabriel must try to understand why he was chosen to receive the most powerful of all gifts and, with the help from no other, come to a decision as to what to do with them. Even if it takes the death of an innocent to convince him.

Doorway of Darkness:

Gabriel Garrison’s secret identity has been compromised and the timing cannot have been worse. Redsaw has become more powerful than when Axiom-man last fought him, and he has determined to attain unstoppable power through the only means he knows how: murder. Chaos ensues and Axiom-man must find the means to stop Redsaw before the whole world is swallowed in a web of death.

Black Water (short story):

Bodies litter the sand of a friendly beach. Axiom-man flies down to Florida to investigate only to discover this isn’t your average series of murders. Something else caused the deaths of these innocent people, and something else has caused them to rise. Something unnatural, perhaps even supernatural. Something . . . from beneath the ocean’s black water.

Of Magic and Men (comic book):

For a time, people were going missing, without a sign or trace as to their whereabouts. Then, for a time, they resurfaced, mutilated and broken, some with bizarre attachments surgically grafted onto their severed limbs. One name has surfaced as to the architect of these twisted acts of violence: the Magic Man. Axiom-man takes it upon himself to bring the Magic Man to justice, and uses the only bait he has to draw out this deadly maniac: himself. Welcome to the underground.

The Dead Land:

A young boy goes missing. No clues. Nothing except the remnants of a black cloud, like the one coughed up from inside the Doorway of Darkness. A black cloud that takes Axiom-man to a world not his own. A dead world, where a gray and brown sky shrouds an entire city in a miasma of decay. The streets are empty. The young boy is nowhere to be found. Those he does find…are dead. And walking.

A full synopsis of each story is at the links above.

What’s also cool is you don’t need a Kindle Reader to read these books! Amazon has a free Kindle app available for a ton of devices, everything from your PC to your Blackberry to your iPad and more! Here’s the link to whatever you need: http://amzn.to/hJG7t1

Again, the .99 cent deal is only going to be on for a short time so please jump on this as soon as possible. I’ve been known to change prices within days of announcing a sale.

I hope you enjoy The Axiom-man Saga. It’s the most favorite thing I do and it’s my hope my love for superheroes really shines through its pages.

Recommended for fans of Spider-Man, Superman and Batman.

Thanks again.

Just posted the following over at Brian Keene’s blog in response to his post found here.

This the article in question.

Thought it worthwhile to share here as well and to hopefully get some feedback from readers.

I wrote:

eBook technology, when you think about it, is amazing, regardless of what reader you use.

I’ve read both eBooks and paperbacks/hardcovers, and do prefer the physical version. The reason? Spending sometime thinking as to why–and it goes beyond holding something because with eBooks you’re still “holding” your e-reader–is that unless you’re a reader-reader and that’s all, I’ve noticed the big proponents for print books are one of two groups: creators and collectors. I’m not just talking special edition collectors either, but even just book collectors, the guys–like me–who want a library in a room in their house and not just on a virtual shelf.

That is why I like physical books better. If all I cared about was reading and reading only, the eBook concept and its technology is amazing (to carry around 1000+ books as though just one? Wow). But I’m a collector, too, and I really enjoy sitting in front of my bookshelves looking over my paperbacks, hardcovers and graphic novels. To see them displayed that way evokes different emotions and is an experience you can’t duplicated on an eReader. Not really, though it seems the iPad’s virtual shelf is kind of cool-looking.

Most writers would fancy themselves collectors in some way. Usually it’s “fans” who write books to begin with. When they get published, they want to see that book in front of them in the flesh and not on a virtual shelf, mostly for that feeling of accomplishment and “look what I did.”

But we’re going the way of the eBook despite how many hold outs they’ll be. I suspect that one day getting the “paperback treatment” will be like getting the “special, ultra-deluxe gold-plated hardcover treatment” now.

It’s only a matter of time.
