Well, isn’t that special? What’s the deal today, 50¢ off on a new Lexus?
No, we’re doing a little better than that. We’re running a four-day special with substantial price cuts for eight books—two each in English, German, Italian and Spanish.
That’s the ebooks, right?
Ebooks and paperbacks. Reductions on ebooks are around 50%. A bit less on paperbacks, because our margins are narrower, but it’s still—what’s the word I’m looking for?
Beats me. The word you used a minute ago was “substantial.”
Fair enough. We can stay with that. Substantial. And I’ll get right down to specifics, because you don’t want to dawdle. Prices are guaranteed through Christmas, but on 12/26 they start to pumpkin.
So here we go:
Random Walk is a novel that defies description, so why should I knock myself out trying? Some readers wish I would write another book like it; others wonder why I wrote it in the first place. For $2.99 ebook or $11.99 paperback, you can find out where you stand. You can get the ebook at Amazon or these platforms; the paperback’s at Amazon, and you may be able to find it elsewhere as well.
Defender of the Innocent is the complete collection of stories about Martin Ehrengraf, the little lawyer who never loses as case because all his clients are innocent. $2.99 ebook at Amazon and elsewhere; $10.99 paperback at Amazon for sure.
Und jetzt aufgepasst, bitte…
I’ve been self-publishing my work in several languages, and the German translations by Stefan Mommertz and Sepp Leeb have been going nicely. The full Scudder series is now available in both pixel and paper, Keller is moving along, and Bernie Rhodenbarr is next on the horizon. Here are the first books in each series, and I can but hope they’ll prove süchtig und unwiderstehlich.
Die Sünden der Väter—$2.99 ebook, $9.99 paperback, at Amazon and other platforms. Kellers Metier—$2.99 ebook, $10.99 paperback, Amazon and elsewhere.
Um, attenzione, per favore!
Luigi Garlaschelli has been turning out superb Italian translations of my books, ranging across several series, and if you type my name and his into the Amazon search engine, you’ll see what’s available. But here are his renditions of The Burglar in the Library and Hit Man to acquaint you with his fine work.
Il Ladro nella Biblioteca—$2.99 ebook, $10.99 paperback, at Amazon and elsewhere. Same prices for Il Sicario—at Amazon and other platforms.
Y finalmente, dos gangas para los lectores de español …
Well, I’ll be. That’s Keller again, isn’t it? Or at least his shadow on the ominous brick wall.
That’s the man himself. You know how some works of fiction are said to be untranslatable? Not so with Keller. He seems to win hearts and minds no matter what language he’s translated into.
So here we have Bernie’s debut, Los ladrones no pueden escoger, $2.99 in ebook, $9.99 in paperback, from Amazon and other sellers as well. And, casting a large shadow, El sicario—$2.99 ebook, $10.99 paperback, available at Amazon or elsewhere.
And that, meine Freunde, miei amici, and mis amigos, is it for today—and, I suspect, for 2019. Pick up some bargains, and if you’re moved to buy something else while you’re at it, well, who am I to talk you out of it? I’m looking forward to 2020, and wish you all the joy and success of the Year of the Metal Rat. (Make mine silver, will you? And ruby eyes would be nice.)
Cheers,
