Outside the box

 

I am so proud of me.

Wait, that’s not where I was going … hold on …

Thank you to everyone who has thus far bought a copy of Fightball: Dying of Suck!

Yes, that’s the ticket.

And a HUGE thank you to those of you who have already read the book and left reviews!  THE REVIEWS ARE AMAZING AND I KEEP GOING BACK TO READ THEM BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME SMILE. So awesome.  Read them here.

Thank you to my early reviewers:  Melissa and Stephanie and Christina and Jan and Sebastian and Renee and Tammy and Sarah and Cathy and Bill and Rod and Amy and Robin and the other Stephanie and one lone anonymous poster who goes by “Amazon reviewer.”

I love you all.

If you haven’t yet purchased your copy of Fightball, do that!

And if you have, read FIGHTBALL!

And when you’re done reading, review FIGHTBALL!

So you know … most of the reviews so far are from advance readers, so you mustn’t feel rushed.

Just make a note.

I know … I’m a pain in the ass, but honestly, the only way this whole self-publishing thing works is if my early readers (THAT WOULD BE YOU) take the time to post reviews.

Thank you, people.

Kris

Oh, also … to test my ability to properly make use of Smashwords and its coupon generator, the first ten commenters on this post will get a code to download a free e-copy of Fightball.  Yes, I know my first ten commenters are likely to be people who have already purchased the book.  Think friends and family, people.

OUTSIDE THE BOX WE GO!

Yes that is too a thing people say.

    I haven’t had time to read/comment much – so here I am!

      Hee hee. I buried the lead intentionally … I wondered how many people would continue to the bottom of the post.

      You are #1.

      I’ll get things organized once I have all ten.

      Thank you!

    I love your writing and this blog so much. I very rarely comment anywhere, so you should feel special. Also, I’m buying Fightball even if you give me a free copy, because laughter is the best medicine, and lots of people in my world should be medicated!

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 11:42 am

      You are #2!

      How about you buy a copy and pass this one along to a friend? Hee hee. Your call, silly one. Thank you for commenting!

      I’ll be in touch once I have 10 commenters.

      Yay!

    Commenting!! Do I get a copy?!!!!!

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 12:12 pm

      You are indeed lucky #3!

      I will be in touch once I collect all ten!

      Yay!

    Am I #4? Haha, I know the perfect person who would love this! I’m half way through fightball! So much funny!!!

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 12:35 pm

      You are #4!

      Yay!

    I’ve only ever commented once, but I love your writing. Will be purchasing both this weekend, when I finally get to sit down at home :-)

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 12:35 pm

      And you are #5, your planned purchases aside.

      Yay!

      And thank you.

    I’m pushing the hell out of this book. Seriously, I have read it once all the way through and when I need to clear my head from my work or coursework — I’m reading it again.

    It should be required reading.

    I adore you.

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 12:36 pm

      You are so lovely … and also, you are #6!

  7. Christine says:
    November 5, 2015 at 12:49 pm

    I have read your blog for years and never commented. I think you are hilarious and brilliant!

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 12:49 pm

      Thank you! I am pleased to inform you that you are #7!

  8. Jan Goldfield says:
    November 5, 2015 at 1:09 pm

    Just so you can reach 10 and I can be on a list somewhere.

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 1:11 pm

      Oh, I’ll reach ten. I won’t count you for now (unless you want me to).

      I’ll reach ten.

    Can’t wait to read it, I love your posts!

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 1:45 pm

      And you are #8!

      Congratulations!

        Thank you so much Kris!

        1. Kris says:
          November 6, 2015 at 11:41 pm

          Awww. You are very welcome.

    November 5, 2015 at 2:06 pm

    Love the book.

    Don’t need the coupon. I HAVE ALREADY BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Suggest you send the coupon to the Pope.

    He needs to laugh a little.

    He would, too.

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 2:07 pm

      You have an email address for the Pope?

      1. Kris says:
        November 5, 2015 at 2:09 pm

        Which, to anyone counting along, means there are still two spots left.

  11. Heather Burstein says:
    November 5, 2015 at 2:09 pm

    Would love to read this book! I’ve been following your blog for a good while now, your stories make me smile and those girls are just crazy sometimes =)

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 2:11 pm

      Yes! You are #9.

      Thank you, Heather!

      1. Heather Burstein says:
        November 5, 2015 at 5:42 pm

        Thank you as well, I CANT wait to read it!

        1. Kris says:
          November 5, 2015 at 8:07 pm

          In the process of organizing.

          Hold on …

  12. BethRD says:
    November 5, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    Waited to comment because of course I already have it. I also posted about it to a big Facebook group I’m on, hopefully I got you a sale or two. It’s awesome!

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 8:07 pm

      YAY! Thank you so much! You are awesome to pass word and love along.

      Thank you, Beth!

    November 5, 2015 at 8:03 pm

    Your stories about Maj and Kallan are my absolute favourite, and keep me coming back again and again to see if there have been any new escapades!! I would love to read your new book :-)

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 8:06 pm

      YES! A bona fide #10!

      YAY! Thank you, Marsha!

      I will be in touch shortly … let me just get a few ducks lined up.

      1. Marsha Richards says:
        November 5, 2015 at 8:25 pm

        Yayy! Thank you so much, you’ve made my otherwise kind of shitty day. And I will absolutely leave an Amazon review.

        1. Kris says:
          November 5, 2015 at 8:30 pm

          Yes! Ahem … I mean thank you.

          Enjoy! Also check your email.

  14. Sebastian says:

    I was just waiting until I wouldn’t be in the top ten anymore, since I’ve already got mine.

    I’m a sneak.

    1. Kris says:
      November 5, 2015 at 8:31 pm

      Sneaky is a good thing sometimes.

      Wait, what?

  15. Robin Gillespie says:
    November 5, 2015 at 11:32 pm

    My copy came today. Now I am torn. Do I binge read it? Do I read it a chapter at a time, to stretch it out? Do I take it on the plane to Portugal with me tonight, or leave it here to console me when I have to come back? I did do a brief taste test, and it seems ideally sweet and sour.

    1. Kris says:
      November 6, 2015 at 8:33 am

      Ideally sweet and sour?

      That’s perfect.

      PORTUGAL?

      1. Robin Gillespie says:
        November 10, 2015 at 5:13 pm

        Looking at menhirs, marionettes and tiles. Eating all kinds of black boar. Listening to fado. Even swimming in the ocean north of Lisbon. Because my husband really needed a vacation.

        1. Kris says:
          November 11, 2015 at 11:19 am

          You are LIVING A LIFE OVER THERE.

          Jealous.

          What’s a menhir?
