AUDIOBOOK RELEASE: American Rebirth

/ evantpickering / Leave a comment

File this under my life has been far too crazy lately, but I’m proud to (belatedly) let you all know that American Rebirth, Book 3 of the American Rebirth Series was released on Audible last month!

Oh yeah.

Voiced by the incomparable Mike Jameson, I’m really proud to finally have the whole trilogy on audiobook (took me long enough to get around to doing it, lol) and I’m very pleased with his performance. Mike is an awesome guy and a pleasure to work with, it’s been so much fun watching him bring the characters to life.

I have some grand designs to try and voice my own audiobooks for some of my newer works–I’d love to give it a shot, provided I can voice-act well enough to live up to my standards. Anyway, I’ll keep you posted on future audiobook releases. Y’all are the best.

Much love,

Evan

0.99$ BookBub Featured Deal for DEATH IN THE WASTELANDS!

/ evantpickering / 1 Comment

So I haven’t formally announced this yet on here, but I’m proud to tell you all that I’ve booked my 5th BookBub Featured deal for both US & International promotion for Death in the Wastelands. It’s the best late Christmas present I could think of!

Man, am I proud of this one.

In celebration of that, I am putting the book on sale for 0.99$ 5 days early, starting today! So if you want to pick up a copy for less than a buck, this is your chance.

What is a Bookbub Featured deal? Basically, it’s the best book-marketing platform money can buy. On Dec. 30th, my book will be promoted on sale to around 3 Million readers via Bookbub’s email service. It’s a way for readers to get cheap books and writers to get their books out there. It’s really hard to book a deal though, they have around a 5% acceptance rate.

So needless to say I’m pretty fucking psyched!

Also, for those wondering what my next project is… I’ve been working in secret on my next book. I’ll post an update soon to reveal my next upcoming work (I’m having so much fun writing it.)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, all!

-Evan

Free Audiobooks, A Holiday Thank-You!

/ evantpickering / 1 Comment

Happy Holidays everyone!

I hope everyone’s enjoying the merriment this season. If life is shooting you in the face with some bullshit right now, you have my sincerest condolences. I recommend a hot cup of tea and some cookies.

SO, I’m giving away more Audiobooks for Christmas!

That’s right, I figured in the spirit of gift giving I’d bequeath onto the unwashed masses some presents in the form of HOOD and LEGENDS on Audiobook!

How do you do this you ask?

Well it’s simple.

Email me at: EvanPickering@EvanPickeringAuthor.com

And ask me for a Holiday Promo code!

That’s it.

Oh, and if you haven’t already, signing up for my Mailing list would be awesome.

It’s basically just links to some free stuff and news/blog posts about my books!

So there you have it.

Happy holidays Everyone.

With love, Evan Pickering

LEGENDS Audiobook Giveaway!

/ evantpickering / Leave a comment

I’ve got a recipe, here. It’s very simple.

Take one new audiobook (LEGENDS, American Rebirth Book 2)

Plus free promo codes

Plus Audiobook listeners (that’s you)

Equals Audiobook reviews.

Got it?

I’ve got these promo codes burning a hole in my pocket for a free copy of my new Audiobook. And I want to give them to you, my dear readers. So if you’re interested in listening to the Audiobook for LEGENDS in exchange for an audiobook review, reach out to me at EvanPickering@EvanPickeringAuthor.com

I only have so many codes, so I can’t guarantee everyone will get one. But if I do I’ll give you instructions how to get my book for free with them, and then the rest is up to you. An honest review is all I ask for!

QUICK BOOK 3 UPDATE:

I’m still working on the manuscript, but it’s coming along now. My end of Summer deadline has come and passed, but I knew that would be a pretty aggressive goal anyway. I’m shooting to have it done by wintertime, now.

I’m really excited about how it’s coming out. It’s been really fun to write, and it’s pretty interesting writing sequels in general. There’s so much more to build off of an so much to consider as you craft the story when the background isn’t just background–it’s the beloved books you’ve laid down to get to where you are. More than anything, I just want this book to be fun as hell to read and a big payoff for readers of my series. I think I’m well on the way to that.

That’s that. Have a good day y’all, and try not to kill anyone in the wastelands!

Free Audiobook Read 4 Review

/ evantpickering / Leave a comment

I still have some of those delicious Audible promo codes…

So it’s time I put them to good use. I have a limited amount left, but if you’d like a copy in exchange for a review, I’d be quite happy with that.

My plan is quite simple:

If you are interested in an Audiobook of HOOD then simply email me with the subject line: HOOD AUDIOBOOK FOR REVIEW. If selected, you’ll receive the audiobook with directions on how to get it on your audible.

Again, there are limited supply, so not everyone can win. If you’re interested, email me with your regular email/audible email at:

EvanPickering@EvanPickeringAuthor.com

subject line: HOOD AUDIOBOOK FOR REVIEW.

If you already read it, then tell your friends maybe 😀

Ride on, wastelanders.

Free Audiobook for review trade!

/ evantpickering / 8 Comments

Alright people, so here’s the deal:

I’ve got these promotional codes for a free copy of the HOOD Audiobook–Amazon/ACX gives them to producers of new books in order to generate buzz/reviews for your book.

And so, with that in mind, I’ve decided to do a giveaway!

I’m going to give away 5 codes to five random people that comment on this post in exchange for an honest review of the audiobook on Audible! Just write your name and make it known you want in in the comments section, and you’ll be eligible 🙂 I’ll make a seperate post announcing the winners when it’s done! Also, if you want to include your email for me to contact you directly, that’s fine too.

I’m literally going to use a random number generator to decide who wins.

But wait, there’s more. If selected, I’m going to put you on my audiobook review list. Every time I publish an audiobook, you’ll get a free copy of it in exchange for a review!

However, if I give you an audiobook and you don’t review it within two months, I’ll have to take you off the list (if something is slowing down your reading in your life, this isn’t a hard and fast rule but ya gotta let me know!)

So it’s real simple. If you’re selected, I give you a free audiobook in exchange for the listen and honest review. Do so, and you’ll get the audiobook for my next book for free next time around 🙂 It keeps on rolling!

For the winners, if y’all could give an amazon review and an audible audiobook review… that’d be amazing!

Good luck y’all,

Evan

Audiobook Has Arrived!

/ evantpickering / 2 Comments

I’m proud to say the Audiobook for HOOD is finally live! It’s available on Amazon, Itunes, and Audible. I’m psyched to finally see it up for sale! Booya!! MORE MEDIUMS!

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON

AVAILABLE ON AUDIBLE

…It might not yet be up on iTunes…cough… maybe I’m just a spazz and can’t find it.

So: something awesome. For all those who want to make ACX give me free money, if you buy the HOOD audiobook as your first purchase on Audible, then I get a free $50 bounty for bringing someone into audible!

Granted, you don’t have to do that, proceed however you like, I’m just happy to have the thing up for sale, but if you feel interested in audible or just want to make audible give me free money, do that and I will be a happy meatsack.

One way or the other, I really love how this audiobook turned out, and I’m excited to see it getting into the hands (headphones?) of listeners. For all those peeps who wanted it audio, thank you for waiting patiently! The day has finally arrived!

Whew.

*BEEP* Audiobook Launch Detected.

/ evantpickering / Leave a comment

Can you hear it?

It’s the glorious sound of HOOD as an Audiobook featuring narrator Michael Jameson. The entire book has been recorded and revised, and is in the final stages of publication. Once final production stuffs are done and it gets approved by Amazon/ACX, it should be up for sale. I don’t know exactly how long that will take but it shouldn’t be more than a few days!

I love the way it has come out. Mike did a fantastic job, he really captured the spirit of what I wanted with the book and I can’t wait to get some reviews and hear what people think of it. With all the internal dialogue and wide range of characters/voices it wasn’t a simple book to narrate, and it came out better than I could have expected.

Not going to lie, it was pretty fun. Stressful at times, because your letting someone put your baby into the spoken word, but all in all it was an awesome experience, and I’d recommend Mike to just about anyone.

Soooo… I’ll make a post when it is live, but hear ye gentle folk, the narrated tale is nearly upon us!

BOOK 2 UPDATE: I’ve gotten back large-scale revisions from my editor, I’m going to do some changes to the draft–but it looks like there won’t be any HUGE changes necessary, so hopefully it won’t take too long to get this baby pubbed! Man, I want to see it done today. I keep reminding myself I’m in the home stretch and it won’t be long now.

Once you start publishing, you just can’t stop. MOAR BOOKS!
