Free Fantasy books right here!

I had an email planned for today that was written for my Misfits of Carnt 4 release, but a lot of stuff has been going on so I’m going to do an update. The most exciting news is that I’m partnering with an appliance company to do a little cross promotion. They plug my book. I plug their gadget.

It came about because I was listening to Freakanomics Radio and a gentleman named Travis mentioned he was doing a Kickstarter for what would be the Keurig of ramen. It was something I had to invest in because I have a soft spot for ramen, as evidence by my ramen noodle cooking series of videos I did a while back. Sadly, the Kickstarter didn’t fund, and I forgot about the thing.

However, Travis didn’t give up and went ahead anyway to bring such a genius machine into existence and started accepting preorders, so I bought one. But then, at the end of one of his emails. He said ask him anything and I thought to myself, I just happen to be writing a book series about appliances turning into creatures and here is this new appliance that most people just need to know about, and fits completely within my quirky nature.

Thus a partnership was born, and in book 3 of Office Maxi, the Ramen Now will be a creature in the book. Now, I don’t want to spoil anything because you all are still waiting on book 2, but if you order the Ramen Now (or preorder at this stage), you’ll see a little sticker on the book with this creature I’m planning for book 3. Yes, I think this will be the first ever kitchen appliance/book crossover.

Oh, in case you’re wondering about book 2. It’s so close to being done. It’s on the final editing stages. After that’s over, I’m going to pop it up on my website for anyone who wants it early, and then New Years Day 2026, it will go live everywhere else. So, stay tuned for that.

Finally, I want to tell you about another project I’m cooking up. My wife has been sending me Louvre heist Instagram videos as we seemed to be just as entertained as the rest of the world by the internet’s reaction to the whole thing. Well, there is this one photo I couldn’t get out of my head. It was a dapper man next to some cops that while wasn’t the detective, everyone on the internet really wanted him to be.

So, I figured, why not? I gathered up my writer friends and they are all writing a short story inspired by this photo. So yes, I guarantee that this man, or at least one author’s interpretation of him will crack the case of the Louvre heist. The deadline for stories is this Sunday, and if you got one send it (no guarantees you’ll get in but if you send it before Sunday, I’ll at least read it). I’ll be publishing shortly after that.

That’s all for now or as the French say, au revoir.
