WHEN SMART PEOPLE SAY NICE THINGS!

HI, EVERYBODY! Apologies for missing the last two weeks! Turns out I was kind of fried after marathoning Book One (serializing right here on Substack). So fried, in fact, that I’M ALMOST DONE PLOTTING BOOK TWO!

You should see my hilarious walls, which are crawling with Post-It notes, from my bedroom office all the way down the hall, past the laundry room, before heading down and peppering one wall of the living room, then sprawling out across the dining room table.

One thing is for certain, about this big story: IT REEEEEALLY, REEEEALLY WANTS ME TO TELL IT! Will not leave me alone. Which works for me, cuz I don’t WANT it to! I am having the creative time of my life.

While we’re on the subject, here’s a couple o’ things, real quick:

1) WE’RE LAYING OUT THE BOOK NEXT WEEK! And heading to the printer, the week after that! Which should get our copies here just in time for September, when both the signed paperback and signed/numbered limited edition hardcover officially come out! Soooo…

2) PRE-ORDER NOW, TO GET YOUR NAME IMMORTALIZED IN THE SPECIAL THANKS! Like, right inside the book itself! Not only is that a super-fun thing to do, in its own right – while exciting and provoking your family and friends – but it helps pay for the printing and design, PLUS my rent and piece of mind!

3) THREE AMAZING BLURBS, BY THREE AMAZING WRITERS AND THINKERS! All of whom dearly loved the book, and say these nice things right here!

“The Change is everything we could have hoped for from a new John Skipp novel: creepy, hilarious, smart, beautiful, wild, and weird AF. Just don’t be surprised if it turns your consciousness into a column of blinding light.”

- Lisa Morton, Bram Stoker Award®-winning author

“John Skipp, the OG splatterpunk bestseller, writes heart-racing, blood-gushing, love-inducing, consciousness-raising stories and The Change is the best of them all.”

– Laura Lee Bahr, author of Who Is The Liar and Haunt

“This is, by far, the most wildly entertaining and paradoxically provoking book about personal transformation. It’s a rare gift when an author can illuminate truth and positivity through characters mired in the depravity of life. If the Buddha loved graphic horror, he might have given The Change the ‘You-Gotta-Be-Kidding-Me-This-Is-So-Fucking-Relevant-And-Revelatory’ Award.”

– Lisa Wimberger, founder and author of Neurosculpting

So there ya have it! These brilliant women don’t lie! Come on and GET YOUR COPIES TODAY!!!

Enormous love and thanks,

Skipp
