Look! Real books.
Made of paper!
For those
analog-souls out there, I have paperback editions of both volumes of The Tragic
Death of Corporate Man (a hero for capitalism; champion of the working class)
and a brand new short story collection called These Odd Morsels. If you’d like to read one (or all) of these
wonderful books I would be happy to act as your supplier. Of course, if you don’t live in the vicinity
of ME and find yourself shy of vacation hours with which to visit ME, you can always order copies from these links:
Corporate Man 1 https://www.createspace.com/3903289
Corporate Man 2 https://www.createspace.com/4148636
These Odd Morsels https://www.createspace.com/4184051
There is an added benefit when you
buy directly from me, though. I know the
author personally and I’ve convinced myself to sign copies and provide
bookmarks to those who put cash (checks if I know you well enough) in my
hand. Just $5.00 for either Corporate
Man book and only $7.50 for These Odd Morsels.
Quite a bargain. For those of you
looking for unique Christmas presents (no, it’s not took early to mention Christmas. I think winter holiday displays are edging
out the Halloween merchandise already) I have a deal for you. Buy five copies of any one book and get a
fifth copy (presumably for yourself) at no additional charge.
For those of you who believe that
books are what happen to other people, I have another freebie just for you: an
all encompassing guilt trip. Five bucks
($17.50 for the set!) is not that much when you think of all the good it will
do. Not only will your money support
independent artists, but it will join in the battle against illiteracy and
combat the stranglehold that large corporate conglomerates have over the
publishing industry. And if you know me
personally, or even if you are just a casual acquaintance, then you should buy
multiple copies simply because I asked and you love me.
If that doesn’t convince you,
then you should buy my books to make this little girl happy.
If you have a hard time doing
anything for other people, then think of yourself. If you take a picture of yourself with either
(or both) of my Corporate Man books and send it to me, I will post it on the Corporate Man blog where
you will be immortalized on the internet forever. Just ask these satisfied customers.
LOOK! IT'S CORPORATE MAN!
And remember, the person who
submits the best picture will win a copy of These Odd Morsels; the very first edition, provable by the print
date in the back.
Lastly, for those of you who like
to stir up trouble I have a job for you.
Contact your local booksellers and demand that they stock their shelves
with fine Tom Landaluce written goodies.
Make a nuisance of yourself, you know you want to. Boise
area troublemakers, I provide you with this list to get started. Feel free to add other locations. For those of you outside of Boise but still up for a bit of mischief, check the listings for your area (though you can call Boise stores as well if you want to).

And let's not forget about the Library! Tell them that you heard about this book (or books) by a local author and you were wondering if they had it (or them) and if not, would they please, please purchase it (or them). Be sure to provide the title (or titles) and my name. If you are one of those really helpful sorts, you could even pass along ISBN numbers (9781477626023, 9781482087291, and 9781482619539). Just remember, be nice to these people, they work hard and they let me borrow audio books all the time.
