I swear that I will return to talking about robots and post humanism shortly. Forgive my temporary lapse in preoccupation, dear sentients.

Let me address this 'murderous' urge that the header implies. I don't, in actuality, want to kill anyone, but I would like to murder the likeness of one of my readers within the pages of my next book.

'A God in the Shed' is a horror/fantasy story and this means I'm going to be murdering some characters. I decided it would be fun to have one of these victims be one of my supporters. The idea is that everyone who pre-orders my book, 'A God in the Shed' gets a chance to win. Every pre-order that is from a reference wins the referrer an extra chance. The more you promote the book, the better your chances of dying by my pen.

Essentially, the winner, drawn at random, will get to collaborate with me (we'll Skype or something) and we'll come up with a suitable way to include your likeness into the book, as a minor character, which will be gruesomely dispatched.

So please go pre-order 'A God in the Shed' and help me spread the word far and wide so that you can win the chance to 'die'. It's worth noting that you'll also get the opportunity to beta-read the manuscript so you can witness your demise ahead of everyone else.
