This was originally posted at the Amontillado Novel blog, but I’m adding it here for safekeeping.

Let me just say it: I love the Amontillado book cover. For a long while, I didn’t think those words would escape my fingertips. Not for lack of effort. Not for lack of good ideas. I had simply ventured down too many dead ends to think I’d ever arrive at anything I could love. I was wrong.

R.E.M. might not have thought to include Amontillado in their world ending song, but we'll forgive them. After all, it hadn't been written yet.

Nevertheless, it's written now, and as the world is about to end this Friday, I thought, "Why not go out with a bang?" To that end (Ha! Pun intended), I've made Amontillado free at the Amazon Kindle Store for the three days leading up to the complete demise and destruction of mankind and planet earth.

So the day of reckoning is upon us. Or upon me, I suppose. For everyone who has, over the years, watched me bail on plans or heard me refuse to schedule plans in the first place because I needed to work on my novel, next week marks the first chance you’ll get to be astonished at what I achieved or to decide my time would have been better spent getting drunk with you.
