Some quick news bits:
First, Zer0es on Amazon Kindle is $1.99 for the week — ending Cyber Monday, I believe! Feel free to go check it out, and if you care to spread the word, then I will Cyber Hug you. I mean, only if you want. ONLY CONSENSUAL CYBER-HUGS. Otherwise, it’ll be a long-distance cyber-high-five. Anyway! If you want a book about five very different hackers going up against a sinister self-aware NSA surveillance program, please to enjoy for under two bucks, limited time only, free Cinnabon with purchase wait not so much that last part.
Second, the Goodreads Choice Awards is still open for voting until the end of today. And AFTERMATH was written in during the last round (yay). So, go vote for it or any other book that you love. Lots of great books demanding your attention there.
Third, I’ll be at Main Point Books in Bryn Mawr this coming Saturday at 10AM for Small Business Saturday — lots of bookstores are having authors hang out that day, so check with your local indies. Love your local bookstore, folks.
Finally, had a great event in Charlotte this past week courtesy of Queens University, where I actually attended school when I was a WEE, BARELY-BEARDED COLLEGIATE. Thanks to Mike Kobre and Melissa Bashor for having me, and to the great engaged audience (including members of the 501st!). Thanks to Park Road Books for selling books, too. Plus got to see some old friends (who I got to spend far too little time with thanks to a very limited schedule).

Hey Chuck, you are one funny dude! Okay, that’s a compliment, not a zing; just clarifying.
Anyway, thanks for a fun, insightful and very engaging hour and a half at Queens. I took copious notes. Of all your one liners, that is. Ha! Kidding. Thanks again.

Going to Grandmas house for Thanksgiving? Traveling over the holidays? Download Zeroes and be thoroughly entertained while traveling. Unless your driving, of course. It will grab you by the throat and yank you into a world of cyber criminals with quirky personalities only Wendig could dream up. You’ll root for all of them. The breakneck pace to its satisfying conclusion will leave you exhausted and begging for a second helping. “Please sir. May we have more?”

Any confirmation that the price is already currently $1.99? I ask because sometimes Amazon decided not to extend these phenomenal deals to Canadians even when we try and order though .com which seems to currently be the case. Basterds.

It is current, so if it’s not in Canada… then it’s not in Canada? *hesitant sheepish shrug*

Perfect timing! I had it on hold at the library, but it wasn’t going to be there in time for Thanksgiving break. At that price, I can get it for both me and my husband without breaking a sweat.

Aaaannd, now I have the same-titled song by They Might Be Giants stuck in my head.

Robert Sadler says:
The Kindle deal couldn’t have been more perfect.
I bought a signed hardcover of Zeroes, then realized my OCD-when-it-comes-to-signed-stuff tendencies would never let me read it without constantly worrying about dirtying or damaging it.
So, yeah – I needed a cheap way to get readable copy.

Nick says:
That’s great! I’ve been waiting for the price to drop a bit, but I wasn’t expecting it this much! You got my two dollars.

Currently reading the hardback version! Happy Thanksgiving, Chuck!

Just purchased Zeroes for $1.99 and I’m a better person because of it

David says:
I enjoyed Zeroes immensely. Even at full price it was a delight, so anyone who doesn’t buy it at cheaper-than-Trader-Joe’s-wine prices is just a wasting our oxygen.

Purchased! We always love your books, Chuck.
