Jason Pargin's Blog: Jason Pargin's updates, page 2

You've ordered almost 2,000 signed hardcovers of the upcoming book 'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom', we're cutting off orders for those after SEPTEMBER 17, so that I can go in and sign all of them (it will take all day!) and they can get them shipped out to people in a timely manner.

These are sold at no extra cost, they will ship anywhere, but you can ONLY get them here:

That's an indie bookstore in Nashville that is handling all the orders and shipping for me, I will go in and sign all of these with my own two hands and my signature will be utterly illegible after the first hundred or so. Thanks!

If you've been holding off on preordering the new book because the price is frankly outrageous, they're doing 25% off pre-orders at Barnes and Noble through TOMORROW (Friday Sept 6). Not just on my book, but ANY book preorder.

Now it does require you to sign up for a (free) membership, so you have to click on "membership" and pick one of the options THEN order the book, THEN enter PREORDER25 in the coupon code box:

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/im-s...

It should be worth it though, that's saving seven or eight bucks. Now, if you want a SIGNED hardcover, you only have like 12 days left to order one, those are pre-order only and you can ONLY get them here:

The ones you get from B&N or Amazon will of course NOT be signed. That link should take you to an indie bookstore in Nashville, they will ship anywhere, these are sold at the normal retail price, my signature is free.

Thanks!

We have news!

A TV series based on the Zoey Ashe novels is now in development for Sony Pictures Television by Third Rail Productions, including writer-producers Denise The (Westworld), Melissa Scrivner-Love (Fear the Walking Dead) and Amanda Segel (Person of Interest, upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff 10,000 Ships)

No, I don't have any additional information about when a potential show would actually appear on your screens, but this is by far the closest we've gotten and I am very excited! We'll see!

Barnes and Noble is doing their 25% off preorder promotion, so you can get a discount on my upcoming book but also on basically any book, I think? There are some hoops you have to jump through:

It's free, but they do require a "rewards membership" so even if you have an account with them, you need to go to the navigation at the top and click on "membership" and then scroll down and click the free option on the left (or the paying one if you want that). Then when you preorder the book, in the cart enter PREORDER25 in the "Apply Coupon Code" box:

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/im-s...

These of course are not the signed editions, these are just the normal hardcovers but at $30 retail a 25% discount is a big deal! And preordering helps authors way more than you'd think. Thanks!

Reviewers:

My upcoming standalone novel 'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom' is up on Netgalley, printed ARCs should be available in the next week or so, I'm told:

https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/boo...

If you missed the last post, my next novel, the standalone thriller 'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom' is up for pre-order everywhere. If you want a SIGNED hardcover you can only get them here:

bit.ly/signmybox

That will take you to the indie bookstore Parnassus, they will ship anywhere, we're not charging extra for my signature. But this is PRE-ORDER ONLY! If for some reason the bitly link doesn't work here's the full URL:

Pre-orders mean everything to authors like me so if you're so confident in my work that you're sure you want it, don't wait! Unless you can't afford to spend this much on books right now in which case you'll probably be able to get it at the library or something. Thanks either way!

Of course, if you want to pre-order an audio/ebook/unsigned copy, just search the title wherever you shop for books: 'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom.'

THE NEW BOOK IS UP FOR PRE-ORDER NOW IN ALL FORMATS! It is an all-new standalone novel, not part of any series!

'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom', search the title wherever you buy books, or just go here:

Audiobook is on Audible/Amazon

WHY DO THEY KEEP LETTING ME DO THIS

I signed another 200 copies of the 'Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia' hardcover in what had been a "pre-order only" promotion, so if you want one as a Christmas gift for a fan or as a gift to yourself, they're here:

https://www.parnassusbooks.net/thisdy...

They'll ship anywhere! Thanks! Also thanks to everyone who continues to leave reviews and ratings, at this point that's what we're relying on to keep this book visible after release...

My books live or die entirely on word-of-mouth so thanks to everyone who took time to rate it in that first week it was out - this is close to a perfect score on the goodreads rating scale:

If you enjoy this series and want to see more, you've already done your part just by reading it, but if you want to do more than your part, post about it somewhere! And feel free to tag me. Or don't do any of that, again only you have control of your own actions and we are likely strangers to each other. Thank you either way. -Jason

If you want a signed hardcover of the new book at no extra cost, you have until MONDAY 10/30 to order one! They'll ship anywhere, and you'll be supporting a cool indie bookstore in the process:
