Thank You, Charlie Sheen

So, there goes Charlie Sheen shooting off his mouth on the Alex Jones show, and what does he call himself? Some kind of "Vatican Assassin warlock..."

No kidding!

If you're here, you may know I've got a book, a trilogy and 3 comic books with the name Vatican Assassin (If not, welcome and explore...). Well, Charlie's talking has ended up making my books show up in strange places - like the Entertainment Weekly pop culture blog! Check out the image link after the witty paragraph - an image dominated by my book covers!

Win A Signed Print Copy of "Alibi Jones: Vacation"

Win A Signed Copy of Alibi Jones: Vacation by Mike Luoma - Available now for the Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Alibi-Jones-Vacation-Adventures-ebook/dp/B004NNV00E/

In a blatant attempt to get people to buy and review my new .99 cent short Alibi Jones: Vacation for the Kindle, I'm offering you a chance to win a signed PRINT copy if you're one of the the first five reviewers on Amazon.com! That's a whopping $5.99 value - never mind the expense of shipping it to you, that almost DOUBLES the value, woo-hoo!

How do you win? Simple. Be one of the first five reviewers on Amazon.com, and you'll be in the running. Pretty good odds - one in five, right? Your opinion is up to you, but I'm hoping you'll enjoy the story. After you read it, write up a paragraph or two and post your review. Then, when it shows up on the Alibi Jones: Vacation Kindle page on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Alibi-Jones-Vacation-Adventures-ebook/dp/B004NNV00E/ ), send me an email at glowinthedarkradio@gmail.com. Once five reviews appear and emails arrive one of the five will be drawn at random (http://www.random.org/). I'll email back, get your address and how you want it signed (or NOT signed - "don't scribble on my book, Mike!") and send the book off to you.

Alibi Jones: Vacation is a stand-alone short story featuring characters from the novel Alibi Jones - Hoping for some rest and relaxation, Alibi Jones and his girlfriend Katie decide to visit their Dakhur friend Kit in his new assignment on the planet Paradise. But Paradise doesn't really live up to its name... Instead of downtime, they find a coup going down around them, as Christopher Blakely attempts to overthrow the planetary government - led by his mother!

The printed version is about the size of your average comic book - 25 pages - and features cover art by Federico Guillen: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/alibi-jones-vacation/14874811. An earlier version of Alibi Jones: Vacation appeared in the audiobook-only anthology Podioracket Presents: Visionaries alongside shorts by J.C. Hutchins, Philippa Ballantine, Seth Harwood, Basil Sands, Brian Rathbone and others. Many thanks again to Podioracket's H.E. Roulo, Rhonda Carpenter and Brian Holtz for including me in the compilation.

If you enjoy reading Alibi Jones: Vacation and want to read more of the adventures of Alibi Jones, you'll be glad to know the price on ALL of my ebook novels including Alibi Jones is now just $2.99. For your Kindle or your Nook, on your iPad or however you read your ebook, just $2.99!

You could even go back before the beginning and start with Vatican Assassin. It's all in the family, as the assassin in question is Alibi's sire BC - Bernard Campion - who kills for the Pope of the New catholic Church. BC's trilogy starts with him on assignment on the Moon - sent there apparently as a papal PR man but actually as a killer, targeting Governor Meredith McEntyre of Lunar Prime!
