free ebook take 2

That ebook edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas that I pointed out was free on iTunes the other day? Well, it’s free for your Kindle at the moment as well. And speaking of free ebooks…

A while back, I offered AAUGH Blog readers a free ebook copy of my new humorous prose novella, Stand-in Superstar. I was reticent to repeat the offer, because you folks are reading this blog for Peanuts stuff, and it seems like infringing on your attention a bit to even mention my non-Peanuts projects once, much less repeat it. But one AAUGH Blog reader who took me up on the offer read the book and urged me to reoffer it, because he was quite taken with it and thought others would be too. To quote the review he posted on the book’s Amazon page, “This hilarious story was filled with scenes that consistently made me chuckle, guffaw and laugh out loud at its outrageousness and cleverness. The sardonic narrator also becomes a character in its own right, humorously describing its settings, making witty references and commenting on the zaniness of events as they transpire.” He does caution folks that this is not “G-rated” in the manner of my Peanuts work.

So if you’d like a copy, email me at questions@AAUGH.com letting me know which format (Kindle format, or epub format for other devices) you want the file in, and I’ll send you a copy. Just promise me that if you like it, you’ll tell someone, okay?

(I’ll probably offer this one more time just after Christmas, so that folks who found a new tablet or ebook reader under the tree can score one.)

Candidate Snoopy

The promotion of “Snoopy for President” dates back to at least 1961 (possibly earlier, I don’t have great reference on it.) The idea is not limited to US presidential election years, but it does tend to swell then. There was not only merch but newspaper articles on it in 1968. …
