I do my e-books through this company called Smashwords, which is having a “July Summer/Winter Sale.” Don’t ask me why it’s a winter sale, but the point is I’m offering my novel Niketown for 50% off on there all through July. It’s ordinarily a mere five bucks and now it is a pathetic $2.50. I just checked, and that’s less than it would cost you to buy a thing of Mentos at Target. I cannot guarantee fresh breath, but I can guarantee that it will be more mentally stimulating than your Mentos. I mean, you could easily get both the Mentos and Niketown, it would still be very cheap. I’m not trying to talk you out of the Mentos.
Anyway, I’m very proud of the book and the elite individuals who read it tend to tell me they liked it. Maybe it’s time you joined them.
GET IT RIGHT HERE, and for some reason they make you use the coupon code SSW50, but if I can pour my heart and soul into a book for years then you can type in three letters and two numbers to save $2.50 on it, in my opinion.
Seriously though, I hope some of you check it out and enjoy it. Thank you!

Reading Niketown when it first came out is an experience I remember fondly. The part of me that likes a good, well-told story was very satisfied; the part of me that considers Vern an indelible voice of modern film criticism (and also a major influence on my own writing) was also very satisfied. It’s an enjoyably unconventional mystery, more hard-bitten than hard-boiled, that is peppered enjoyably with the idiosyncratic observational truths and insights that are a big part of what makes Vern’s work so essential. Buy it and regret nothing.
