Behold the Power of the BOOK BOMB! (a behind the scenes look at what a BB does for an author)
I thought this was pretty nifty. Brian wrote this blog post up based upon his experiences from last week’s Monster Hunter Nation BOOK BOMB.

He sent me the actual numbers. Not too shabby. Basically a BB moves about as many books as twenty good book signings (or about a hundred average ones, sadly, not an exaggeration).
For all the authors who ask me about doing BBs for them, believe me, I’d love to. However, I can’t for a few reasons.
I’m limited in time. One reason these work is that I don’t over do it. I try and limit the BBs to no more than one a month, tops. Anything more and they cease to be special.
Also, I have to try and pick books that I think are a good fit for the fans. I’ve picked a pretty wide variety of books on here, but I still have to read them first and go with things that I think they’ll like. One reason the BBs keep working is that I haven’t really led the buyers astray.
Normally the authors I pick are people who I am acquainted with somehow, and I know that they are in a position where the BB could help boost their career. So you can ask, but I’ll probably have to say no, just because at any given time I’ve got a gigantic stack of books people want me to read, and I can’t promise anything.
Sarah’s new book is out! Through Fire (Darkship book 4)
This snuck up on me. The regular book isn’t out yet, but the ebook is. I’ve not got to read this one yet, but Sarah is a fantastic author, and this series is awesome.
Seriously, if you’ve not read Sarah’s stuff, you should. The narrator in the first book of this series is what convinced me that she should write Julie Shackleford.

This should totally be a TV show.
Tom Stranger audiobook, narrated by Adam Baldwin, available NOW for FREE
That’s right, Junior Insurance Professionals, today is TOM STRANGER DAY.
The audiobook of Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent, narrated by Adam Baldwin, is available NOW for FREE.
Have you ever seen a planet invaded by rampaging space mutants from another dimension or Nazi dinosaurs from the future?
Don’t let this happen to you!
Rifts happen, so you should be ready when universes collide. A policy with Stranger & Stranger can cover all of your interdimensional insurance needs. Rated “Number One in Customer Satisfaction” for three years running, no claim is too big or too weird for Tom Stranger to handle.
But now Tom faces his greatest challenge yet. Despite being assigned the wrong – and woefully inadequate – intern, Tom must still provide quality customer service to multiple alternate Earths, all while battling tentacle monsters, legions of the damned, an evil call center in Nebraska, and his archnemesis, Jeff Conundrum. Armed with his Combat Wombat and a sense of fair play, can Tom survive? And will Jimmy the Intern ever discover his inner insurance agent?
It’s time to kick ass and adjust claims.
Adam Baldwin (Firefly, Chuck) performs Larry Correia’s madcap interdimensional tale of underwriting and space travel, where the only thing scarier than tentacle monsters is a high deductible.
The Adventures of Tom Stranger is free until June 21, 2016.
