Stuck at home with self isolation? Looking for something to read to help pass the time? Let me send you a free book, no conditions apply.
And there's four to choose from!
FINDING A WAY TO PLAY A PART
Inspired by the incredible Facebook Page The Kindness Pandemic (seriously if you need some morale boosting stories about the kindness of humanity with this Corona thing is happening, go to this page. It's reaffirmed how nice people can be in a very rough time.), I was thinking of ways that I too could help in these tough times.
And while I'd love to organize an air drop of pasta to everyone in my neighborhood, I just don't have the funds, the pasta source or an actual drone to do that. A great idea in theory.
So my next brilliant idea was to offer up a free read instead via email. If one of my books can make you laugh, distract you from self isolation or just provide even a few minutes of relief from what we're facing then so be it. I only wish I had more than four to offer but anyway, we're all in this together.
WHAT'S ON OFFER?
Your choice - pick one and let me know what I can send you. (links go to Amazon)
BOOK ONE (COMEDY) - THE ADVENTURES OF ALMIGO: ONE MAN, NO PLAN AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ALONG THE WAY
A bathtub full of squirming cockroaches, the keys to a monster truck and a limousine that threatened to fall to pieces with every corner. Welcome to another day in radio...
For the last 17 years Almigo has found himself in plenty of head scratching adventures both in and outside the radio studio. In this collection of tales from his lunatic journey find out how he ended up pouring cockroaches all over a woman in a bath tub, got confused for a local hardened criminal and almost managed to impale himself with a broken ice cream scoop on Valentines day.
From crazy radio people to the time he got involved in a wrestling match and got slapped for his efforts, from his trip to a wedding soaked in petrol to attempting to sell sex dice at his garage sale, he also reveals what he’d do if he mistakenly got elevated to management, how he’d fix reality TV and the incredible finds unearthed in his own backyard with the worlds cheapest metal detector.
Strap yourself in - it's a bumpy and random ride but one full of moments of hilarity and endless laughs along the way.
BOOK TWO (COMEDY) - THE ADVENTURES OF ALMIGO: LIVE FROM THE ELDORADO FLATS
'Every stupid adventure has to start somewhere...' and for the radio announcer known as Almigo there have been plenty of strange places that have kicked off some very memorable and occasionally downright crazy moments. After not managing to knock himself unconscious through the first book, join him in his latest installment as he attempts to badly judge a karaoke competition, keep out of trouble with a horde of lunatic and occasionally deranged neighbors, tries not to destroy a half a million dollar sports car, attempts to keep his sanity with his radio callers and battles the elements with just a fridge box and some garbage bags for company..
BOOK THREE (COMEDY) - COURT JESTER OF THE CASTLE
Al bought a house. Al bought a house that started to attract some very weird people like the local sheriff, an ex-criminal, charity collectors and a screaming banshee. Al bought a house that was full of things that didn't make any sense, like the possible swingers party/ opium den back shed and the mystery under house speaker. Al bought a house and with his budget of not much at all, attempted to patch things up with his next to zero skills in DIY often making things hilariously worse. Al bought a house and along the way created an undead mower, fought against diarrhetic sparrows, waged war against mafia roses and glued himself together with liquid nails.
And then Al had to sell the house in a hurry.
The hilariously true story of harrowing home ownership by a guy who came, saw and conquered absolutely nothing at all. Full of handy advice of what not to do when rolling up the sleeves and essential reading if you're in the position to finally stop renting and move into a place you can't wait to call your own.
BOOK FOUR (HORROR) - WAR WAGON
All they want to do is find their way home. And they'll happily tear the world to pieces to get there.
After finding themselves trapped in our world, the demon known as Dar'Kannag and his family are on the warpath to find someone with the knowledge on how to get back to theirs. Piloting their mighty war machine, they carve a bloody path across the land searching for answers until they're finally stopped in a vicious battle and taken prisoner.
Now it's up to Agent Omega and his team to learn as much about his captives as possible - where do they come from, how did they get here and most importantly, are there more on the way?
But when another interested party emerges from the shadows and reveals who really is pulling the strings, the line begins to blur dramatically as to who is the deadliest monster of them all..
SO HOW CAN I CLAIM MY FREE BOOK?
1. Shoot me an email to Alshieldwrites@gmail.com and tell me which book you'd like to read. And I'll email you a copy in .mobi or .epub format (just let me know which you'd prefer. Will look at PDF's too if need be).
Annnnnnd that's it. Done. There's no step 2.
One free book per person of your choice to your email as soon as I reply back.
Nothing to sign up to, no credit card details necessary, I don't need a copy of your birth certificate and I certainly won't be adding you to any spam list (originally I was going to get people to comment below with their email addresses but I don't want some idiot scammer to pop along and think 'Ohh, look at all these email addresses I can exploit!') Hence my email there ready to go when you are Alshieldwrites@gmail.com
THAT CAN'T BE IT, SURELY?
No that's it. I could offer them at a reduced price but if you're like me and you're saving your pennies in this current environment, then every dollar counts and sending an email for a free book is still free. And right now I think we all need as much free entertainment as possible. You can leave a review if you want but I'm not certainly not pushing for one. Know someone who would also love a free read? Feel free to share this page. But otherwise enjoy the read, I hope it helps.
When it all adds up, it's the little things that count and so here's my little thing.
We're all in this together, chat soon
