CAKE… or death?

It’s the 2nd exciting week of Party Like It’s 1889 and we’ve a new author hosting the show: introducing Greg X. Graves, better known as G eXploding G!

Last week MCM kicked off the party with his science fiction thriller Typhoon, but now Greg is determined to outshine him… with HUMOUR.

So prepare yourselves for robotic bears, talking tattoos, and irremovable rings — this week’s going to be a party like none other!

To kick things off, you’re invited to the première of Greg’s trailer, starring yours truly. Feast your eyes on this:

After that video how can you NOT want more?

Want to know how to tell if your suitor is a vampire? Or how to handle job interviews conducted by lizards? Or why you shouldn’t throw a monster’s egg in the sewer?

Of course you do!

All this essential advice can be yours for only $0.99!

You heard it. That’s the price of Bears, Recycling and Confusing Time Paradoxes so what are you waiting for?!

Click on the book cover and pick from your choice of retailers.

    Bears and cheese, both are delicious and high in calcium.

    Excellent reading! This is on my short list of books to read.

    You know what bears and cheese have in common? Under the right circumstances, both have the power to clear a room.

      I’d try to time the rate of room evacuation, but have you seen the cover of the book? That’s how all my stopwatches look.

    Both bears and cheese have nothing to do with writing desks.

      Speak for your own writing desk.

    I am pretty generous. Here’s another bit of generosity to save the biographers out there some legwork: I’m awesome. There, now you don’t have to go digging around and asking all the skeletons in my closet what they think of me.

    I love this book! I already own an ebook but I’ve ordered a print copy, too. Can’t wait to get it :)

    • http://www.gregxgraves.com Greg X. Graves

      The print book is very slick, and the illustrations somehow look even better!

    Both bears and cheese have the ability to be furry..although I’d rather see a bear that’s furry rather then some furry cheese…hehe

  • James R

    Both bears and cheese can lead to sticky situations…

  • Piers Hollott

    American bears and American Cheese both come wrapped in plastic and melt when you add hamburgers.

    Both bears and cheese can be particularly stinky, plus they are both frequently found in refrigerators.
