THE REGULAR DIRT

The Pun for the Mug contest continues! Last issue, I was in a bit of a bum mood so I asked you fine people to try and make me laugh by submitting your very best pun. Remember, Ron like pun. Pun is life. And I gotta say, I think you did pretty flaring good! Below you’ll find three of my favorites:

The Batpun, from Liam:

Batman and Robin are in the batcave. They're about to head out for a night of fighting crime when disaster strikes. "Batman! The batmobile won't start!" "Check the battery" ... "What's a tery?"

The Squirrely One, from Tommy:

Know how to catch a squirrel?

Run up a tree and act like a nut.

And The Really Flaring Flared Up One, courtesy of Tim:

They were going to make a TV series about John Denver, but the pilot crashed and burned.

***

I know which one had me in stitches, but my opinion doesn’t flaring matter. Yours does! So vote for the one you liked most here! Remember, the person who submitted the pun with the most votes wins a super cool Solar Craterball League licensed Venus Flytrap mug! I’ll announce the winner in the September 10 issue of The Dirt, so stay tuned.

This carnivorous mug and other craterball gear can be found on my website. Use promo code STEELEHEAD for 15% off or whatever.

THE EXTRA DIRTY DIRT

Speaking of the September 10 issue of The Dirt, I have a pretty stellar giveaway planned for next month! Something in the neighborhood of an entire 9-book series for Kindle. I’ll have more details in my next newsletter, including how you can increase your chances to win the big prize. Check my SpaceBook page if you want to get a jump on the competition. Contest details will probably show up there first. Or maybe on Instagram. I haven’t decided yet. You better keep an eye on both for safety.

FREEBIE OF THE FORTNIGHT: First Contact by Moud Adel

To be a savior, one must first train.

It’s my sixteenth birthday and everyone is asking what I want for my future. I can’t answer this question, not when I’m the guardian of Earth.

I have been training for ten years with my shape shifting mentor in secret, learning how to defend my planet against alien attacks, but I never met one before. Tonight, however, everything is about to change.

My mentor detected an alien intruder and it’s up to me to interfere before the invader brings his entire species to my home, but I am not sure I can do it. Even though I was born with a special gene that enhances my power, I don’t know if my heart is ready for me to take a life.

First Contact is a prequel to Moud’s six book Earth Guardians series. Get your free copy today and see if it’s something that tickles your fancy. All six books are available on Kindle Unlimited.

Until next time.
