Cranefly Fiction -- 2016 onward

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Thank you, Cranefly. I'm pleased that it was a book and not a bomb.

[cranefly]

Damn!

Got the packages mixed up.

Sorry, That Guy.

Am I getting a bomb?

Let me put it this way,

I'm terrible with fuses.  So you're probably safe.

I am happy not to have received the bomb. Very happy to have received the latest from Cranefly Press.

Mine was hand delivered so I wasn't too worried about a bomb.

A dagger maybe, but no bomb. The rest of D00M doesn't know this, but one of cf's Kung Fu specialties was double dagger.

[Greg]

Is that a sex move?

[Drunk Monk]

Not yet

Whenever I see "Double Nantucket" in the Pepperidge Farm display, that's the same question that comes to my mind...

"Double Nantucket"

I was keeping an eye out for a bomb, ready to cut the blue wire, but instead, I received a tome. Thanks CF!

I also did not receive a bomb. Instead it was a very fine looking book. I'm only a bit into it and enjoying it. Many thanks to CF.

And he did the artwork as well! I feel like it's making us all look bad.

Okay, so when I first started self-publishing, I heard a youtube woman caution against letting a company handle your email list. You should be doing that. Well, I let Draft2Digital (D2D) handle mine, and true to what that woman advised,  I’ve lived to regret it. D2D markets everywhere, which is nice. But one of those places is Amazon. And the two of them have not been getting along. Don’t know who’s being the spoil-sport there, bu the workaround, for me, is to also separately publish the paperback through Kindle on Amazon.
 
The problem is, D2D only notifies my readers of my D2D new releases, and they are clueless about Amazon paperbacks. That, by the way, is my most lucrative market.
 
So I’ve decided to take ownership back of my email list. What a shit-show. Normally you do that by hosting a home page. Been there, done that. Who am I kidding? I don’t have the time or interest in maintaining that.
 
But emailoctopus offers a way to host a landing page free (for small operations like mine), which is all you need, except for a whole lot of learning.
 
The thing is, emailoctopus doesn’t want people who buy email lists, or other spammer types. They want you to ask people to willingly give you their email, and the way you typically do that is by offering them something free.
 
So I’m asking you to click the link below. It will offer something free if you provide your email.
 
That free “something” should arrive in your email account in a minute or two.
 
I don’t care if you click the link to get the “something” or any of the other links. But I would ask you to rescue the email if it goes to the SPAM folder. Just click NOT SPAM. It will likely then move to your regular folder. If images are suppressed, I would ask you to click SHOW IMAGES. This activates the links. You needn’t click the links if you don’t want to. In talking with emailoctopus, I’’ve learned that this is how you teach the networks that you are not spam, that you are a trustworthy soul. Which I am. Sort of.
 
There might be more hurdles you encounter. Just fight yourself past all the warnings. Again, you don’t have to click any of the links in my email if you don’t want to. But they’re harmless. Just marketing links. And you might find the free “something” amusing.
 
Anyway, enjoy.
