"Leverage" Quick Hits
A B&N pre-order sale and a Goodreads giveaway
I try to accomplish two things with each issue of this newsletter: 1) create something entertaining and/or informative for you people to read and 2) avoid utterly, shamelessly hawking my wares.
Like the Legislative and Judicial branches of the U.S. federal government, I've officially given up.
25% Pre-Order Discount at Barnes & Noble
To troll the House of Bezos, Barnes & Noble is running a 25% pre-order discount on upcoming releases through Friday, July 11.
You need to be a B&N Member (free) and you must use the discount code PREORDER25 at checkout.
If you haven't yet snagged your copy of Leverage this is probably the best pre-launch deal you're gonna find.
Click HERE to order my killer novel from B&N.
Note: If you already pre-ordered from an indie retailer, the smug satisfaction you received is worth much more than the seven extra bucks. If you already pre-ordered from The House of Bezos, you can and should request a price match.
Another Goodreads Giveaway
My kickass publisher Atria Books is giving away another 100 copies of Leverage via Goodreads.
You can enter for free through July 31 by clicking HERE.
While you're visiting, make sure to check out the early reviews. The range of takes is wild and well worth your time. Also, if you've already read Leverage, I'd appreciate a rating and review of any kind!
Kash's Crusade Continues
My old boss Kash "Money" Cash is really making a name for himself on TikTok.
Since my last update, he's viciously attacked New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, bullied Congress into passing the One Big Beautiful Bill, bought the naming rights to Michigan Stadium, outed himself as a client of Jeffrey Epstein, and pitched a new investment fund focused exclusively on the gulag industrial complex.
I mean, just look at this fucking clown:

Coming Attractions
I'm in the teeth of my kids' summer vacation, but I'll be freeing up soon and I've got some great content ideas in the hopper.
Later this month I'll be publishing a fun and funny "interview," and beginning in August I plan to distribute a new weekly comedy piece until the Leverage launch on August 19.
Stay tuned and, as always, stay frosty out there.
