Have a prezzie! (And come to Southcart)

Whatever your beliefs, religions or lack thereof, it is traditional in many places to give gifts at this time of year.  I'd like to share in the general gift giving bonhomie this year by giving you ALL - yes, you, you AND you - the opportunity to download one of my short stories, in the format of your choice, absolutely free.  That's no pence.  Gratis.

Storm Watch first appeared in 'Tales from the Asylum: A Steampunk Compilation', published by The Last Line in 2010. 'Tales from the Asylum' is the first volume of 'The Asylum Chronicles'.

The Asylum - it was built like a fortress; yet no-one questioned why.
It had hundreds of uniformed wardens; almost no-one noticed.
It held strange and dangerous inmates; no-one knew.
Built in the 1870s, yet seeming to endure forever, the Asylum has seen governments rise and fall, has witnessed wars and riots. It has stories to tell, strange twisting stories of past and future


Tales from the Asylum follows in the footsteps of the Asylum warden, Arkwright, as he makes his rounds.  In the final cell, a cell strangely dripping with brine, is James Fairweather - another of the unfortunate inmates who can never be released.

Storm Watch is James' story.

Get it free from Smashwords here.
And my compliments of the season to you all!

Of course, if you like what you read, you may well want to hear more...
There are several ways you can go about this:
  • The Automata Wars Volumes 1, The Home Front, and 2, The Front Line are both available for download via Amazon for kindle (not free, sorry!)  (or you can find them via my Amazon page at www.amazon.com/author/lmcooke if you're not in the UK)
  • You could come to Southcart Books next Saturday, 13th December, for Southcart's Festive Fantasies event, and pick up paperback copies of the Automata Wars series while you're there

At Southcart, I'll be doing a reading from The Home Front, and also, I MAY have written a short, wintery story to read, especially for this event (called The Wolves of Winter).  There'll be lots of other writers reading too, and lovely Scott and Amy, Southcart's proprieters,  will also provide free nibbles.  It's free entry too, and a fantastic opportunity to get some rare and unusual Xmas presents, so we hope to see you there...
(Full author programme will be announced very soooon...)

NOTE OF WARNING!

If you would like to acquire a paperback copy of The Home Front, then there are only ten(10), yes ten (10) copies left of the first print run.  That's ten (10).

The Last Line publishing house currently has one (1).
I have the remaining nine (9) (mwah ha ha ha)
If you'd definitely like one (1)(or maybe more), drop me a line so that I can reserve one (1)(or maybe more) for you...

    I'm a writer of steampunk/ fantasy fiction, singer/musician and writer at LM Cooke Music, singer in the parody band Mediaeval Biaetches, occasional historian,  and co-presenter of the Gothic Alternative Steampunk and Progressive web radio show.  Here I will ramble vaguely about stuff.  Friends, countrymen, and people who aren't countrymen, lend me your ears...
