UPDATE (8/22):

Ian Olson - congratulations. You have an NES Classic Edition coming your way..just as soon as the buy links go live and I can order one - it's out November. But, you'll have it before Christmas!

W. C.

INDOMITABLE storms shelves in under a week. To mark the occasion, I'm launching the
#iAmIndomitable book campaign. Swag and prizes, the chance to appear as a character in my next Promise Paen novel, and honorary membership in Victor Company. Oh, and an opportunity to win a NES Classic Edition. Interested?

INDOMITABLE is out!. To mark the occasion, I'm launching the
#iAmIndomitable book campaign. Swag and prizes, the chance to appear as a character in my next Promise Paen novel, and honorary membership in Victor Company. Oh, and an opportunity to win a NES Classic Edition. Interested?

Details: campaign runs from July 21st to August 20th (BTW, I happen to turn 40 on 8/20)

Buy a copy of INDOMITABLE, and if you missed UNBREAKABLE, snag a copy of it, too. Print, audio, or ebook - I love them all. Your choice.
Email me to let me know you bought the book. Type #iAmIndomitable in the subject line. Scout's honor, okay? Trust me. I don't want to see your redacted receipt. We're all honorable nerdists anyway.
In the body of your email include your name as you wish it to appear on my website (see below for more detail).
If you bought a physical copy, say so. I'll send you an INDOMITABLE bookmark and a signed book plate that welcomes you to the Republic of Aligned Worlds Marine Corps (RAW-MC) and Victor Company.
Using my super-secret RAW-MC, real-but-fake military rank generator (probably dice), I'll assign you an honorary position in Victor Company, and post your name (as you want it to appear) and rank on my website, here. You could end up a lowly private or an officer of Marines. Do you want to know?
I'll enter you into a drawing to win a NES Classic Edition. AND, one lucky winner's name will appear as a character in my next book. Villain or hero. Do you want to know?
Use hashtag #iAmIndomitable and share this blog post to spread the word!
Winners will be announced during 8/21.

Thanks for reading and supporting the books!

Note: as of today, the NES isn't available for order. I've signed up for the alert. Once the pre-order button goes live I'll place my order. We should all expect backorders. Really. Blame supply and demand for that. If you win you'll get the retro unit of your dreams around the middle of November. Good luck!

YOU WANT THE TRUTH? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

How 'bout a #giveaway?

I have three, signed, advanced reading copies (ARCs) of INDOMITABLE to give away.

Interested?

In the first few chapters of INDOMITABLE, Promise Paen and Victor Company are on the march, keeping time with Saw An Old Lady, a real military cadence that I've modified for the twenty-eighth century.

Cadences are traditional call-and-response songs sung by military personnel while marching or running. In the United States military, cadences are sometimes referred to as Jody Calls, after Jody (Jodie), a recurring character in some traditional cadences.

To win yourself an ARC, all you need to do is sound off! Share your favorite military cadence here, on my blog. Better yet, write your own. Better still, record yourself singing a cadence, and post the vid for all to share. Do that and you're entered to win. I'll draw names from a combat helmet. (I happen to have one handy)

Rules:

Three winners will be announced 6/7/2016
Keep it clean (at least PG-13)
You may also (also as in "that's an order") pre-order the book, here, here, and here, and wherever books are sold
Share this post with your friends for another chance to win, and then send me an email to let me know you did (write(dot)wcbauers@gmail(dot)com

Don't just stand there. Get singing. Move, Move, MOVE!
