The Adventures of Alibi Jones continue on today's Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Podcast - with the start of the FREE audiobook of ALIBI JONES - The Novel.

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!

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.

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!

My Four New Books

Come back in time to the dark alleys of Boston in 1965 – into the future and across the stars – into orbit and to the Moon – or back down to Earth and the grim reality of the battle-riddled Afghanistan of today. I'm writer Mike Luoma – join me for four new books: two new issues from my Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Comics and two new shorts in anthologies from Earthbound Comics!

Vatican Assassin #3 is brand-new – Artist Cristian Navarro has been helping me turn my science fiction adventure Vatican Assassin into a graphic novel. In our third installment BC, our assassin for the Pope of the NcC – the New catholic Church – has a dangerous new assignment: neutralize the leader of a religious cult currently holed up with his people on an old, abandoned orbital space station. What could go wrong? Read more at http://vaticanassassin.com

Earthbound Comics has just released Lady Fight #4 which features "Souverain: Liberty and Justice For All" – the final third of my Souverain Afghanistan Trilogy written for Ben Ferrari's vigilante character. Souverain is captured – her followers killed – her sanctuary destroyed... how the hell is she going to get out of this one? Ben's on art duty, Matt Grant handles the letters. The book also features Shots Fired by Buck Weiss and Ruth Garcia and Cat. 5 from Sebastian Piccione and Mike Dreher. On sale now at Indy Planet: http://indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=825&products_id=4581

Good Samaritan: Unto Dust #1 features beautiful art by Federico Guillen. Fred told another artist collaborator of mine, Juan Carlos Quattordio, that he wanted to work on a book with an American writer, so Juan Carlos introduced us. Fred has done a fantastic job his first time out, really bringing Father Bill Sullivan – the Good Samaritan – to life! Fall comes to Boston in 1965 as Good Samaritan tries to bring a vampire molester/killer to justice. He's also trying to keep his day job – the new Cardinal seems to have it in for Father Bill! Read more at http://goodsamaritanuntodust.com

The artist Meisha is another great find – wait until you see his work on "Alibi Jones: Blind Eye" in the new anthology Spacebound #1 from Earthbound Comics! Alibi is another character leaping from my science fiction novels into visual life on the page. This stand-alone adventure begins when Alibi encounters an old flame at a diplomatic dinner on the human colony of Cat's Eye. Alibi's curiosity gets going when he finds them talking about a new settlement – Poyas – that he's never heard of... just what are Andrea and her partner up to? Spacebound #1 also features Writer and Artist Matt Grant's Mastorism. On sale now at Indy Planet: http://indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=825&products_id=4223

Another fresh bit of news – Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Comics has partnered with DriveThruComics.com to offer our comics as digital downloads through their store – all books just 99 cents, except for Vatican Assassin #1 – which is FREE for a limited time! You can find both Good Samaritan and Vatican Assassin comics at Drive Thru: http://comics.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?cPath=5922.
