ORIGIN, the technothriller novel I dropped the price on a weeks ago, is currently at #103 in the Kindle store.Naturally, I'd like to crack the Top 100.
There's a charity called First Book, which buys books for children who don't have any.
If ORIGIN does indeed make it into the Top 100, I'll donate $500 to First Book.
So I'm asking you to help me out. Please spread the word, link to this blog post, buy ORIGIN, gift copies for friends, etc.
I'm curious if a concentrated push at this late stage in the game will work to get it on the list.
The novel is a cross between Jurassic Park and The Exorcist. Here's the pitch:
Thriller writer J.A. Konrath, author of the Lt. Jack Daniels series, digs into the vaults and unearths a technohorror tale from the depths of hell...
1906 - Something is discovered by workers digging the Panama Canal. Something dormant. Sinister. Very much alive.
2009 - Project Samhain. A secret underground government installation begun 103 years ago in New Mexico. The best minds in the world have been recruited to study the most amazing discovery in the history of mankind. But the century of peaceful research is about to end.
BECAUSE IT JUST WOKE UP.
Book Description:
When linguist Andrew Dennison is yanked from his bed by the Secret Service and taken to a top secret facility in the desert , he has no idea he's been brought there to translate the words of an ancient demon.
He joins pretty but cold veterinarian Sun Jones, eccentric molecular biologist Dr. Frank Belgium, and a hodge-podge of religious, military, and science personnel to try and figure out if the creature is, indeed, Satan.
But things quickly go bad, and very soon Andy isn't just fighting for his life, but the lives of everyone on earth...
ORIGIN by J.A. Konrath
All hell is about the break loose. For real.
So if you visit this blog and are helped by it, I ask you to spread the word.
