Last day to grab the paperback at 30% off. Here’s the first page, maybe you want to keep reading, maybe not. I haven’t run out of things to say about this novel, but not feeling very shouty today about it. As always, if you’ve picked this story up already, thank you. 🙏🖤🙏 a.co/d/0eXovoMW

Enjoy the tour, brother! In the year that WTDCD has been out, the paperback has never been discounted. THAT CHANGES on 10/06 and 10/07!!. 30% OFF for the first time ever. Or so they tell me. More than a few people have added it to their spooky season TBR this year too. Check it out! a.co/d/09yMWuZC

If you've been waiting for a deal to read WTDCD, I can tell you it'll be $1.99 next Thursday on Kindle, and likely on Nook too (sometimes that happens). Anyway, MARK YOUR CALENDARS. Lol. You won't. But you might. Have a great weekend, everyone! Thanks @gabino.bsky.social 🖤

Call WHAT THE DEAD CAN DO a thriller, a psychological thriller, a supernatural thriller, or even a family-centered thriller, but AT ITS CORE, it's HORROR. A year in, I'm learning many people still don't realize that. Trust me, it's horror from all angles. a.co/d/0f0YyneS thnx @gabino.bsky.social 🙌🖤🙌

I wrote a book about a devout anorexic who sees the future by binge-eating that came out in 2022. It's called Future Skinny. It's having a bit of a resurgence due to WTDCD, and it's on Kindle Unlimited for a couple of months if you want to check it out. Thanks @gabino.bsky.social - a.co/d/0ipETtc0 🙌

Going on sub after Labor Day with this menace of a novel. Artwork by human John Hobbs. Super stoked for the powers-that-be to start seeing it. SPILT, a road-trip horror love story from hell. Can a story about a blood-made demon with FOMO be one's magnum opus? maybe. Lol. THNKS @gabino.bsky.social 🙌

255 ratings on GR. 90 on Amazon. What the Dead Can Do remains a book most people who find it enjoy, but many still don't know about it. And so, we do what we can to help it live its best life, a couple of weeks out from going on sub with something fun af. Thanks @gabino.bsky.social 🙌

A full-cast supernatural horror performance. When Spotify picked WTDCD up for production, I had no idea what they'd put behind it. 7 actors for 7 characters!?!! Each actor is just friggin incredible. If you are into audiobooks I don't mind telling you this isn't one you want to miss. a.co/d/07bkSSsl

Of course, I want my books to blow the fuck up. That said… Sometimes you just push where you can, raise the floor a bit, and put it into a better position should lightning ever decide to strike. I don’t know. I do know I look at these charts an amount that's unhealthy at best. Working on that.

80 reviews on Amazon today! and while I can't say for sure anymore, I think 100 unlocks something in the algo and people's minds... who knows? But if you've read it and haven't thought to review there, go fuck around and find out on my behalf, won't you? a.co/d/0jepSjkZ Thanks @gabino.bsky.social 🖤

Older book, but one sale can move it more than four million places on Amazon. Publishing is weird. Gives you a pretty good idea why we genuinely mean it every time we say that one person buying one of our books means a ton to us. #booksky

Roughly 1/4th of these GR ratings came from a wonderful anthology I was lucky enough to be part of. The other 750-ish got me to 1,000 today. Try as I might, numbers still mean something to me, even if I don't measure success by them completely. TY so very fucking much, mostly strangers! 🖤

“…the idea of killing your child so they can be with you in death is, quite honestly, unhinged. I couldn't bring myself to finish it.” recent two star review. fair point, though.

With my novella, Future Skinny, it took 3 years to hit 200 ratings. What The Dead Can Do is 1 away, less than 7 months in. Everything is relative (I had a high bar for this book) but you can be damn sure I'll still be hooting and hollering when it hits 200, if I didn't curse myself with this post.

not all books soar immediately, or so I say to myself. here is proof of my persistence. granted many spikes here sometimes represent only one sale, but the point remains the same: believe in your book, talk and promote your book well after it comes out if you can, while, of course, writing the next.
