Is Free. From the 15th - 19th, you can get my

Book Death Becomes Us

for free on Kindle. Even if you don't own a Kindle, I would appreciate it if you downloaded it. And then tell your friends to download it. Heck, tell the barista at the Starbucks and the lady behind you in line to download it. At this point, it is all about numbers and for once I would like to see the book that I poured my heart and soul into rise to the number one position on Amazon. (In the free section. Although, it would be really cool to see it at number one in at least one of my categories for like thirty seconds.)

So why am I doing this besides shameless self promotion? Well, ladies and gents, I am going to be sitting in a room for a week by myself because it's not safe for me to be around people because--drumroll, please...I am going to be radioactive.

If you've read my book, you know about the lumpy, cancer scare, thyroid situation. Well, that dang nodule has become "hot" or "toxic" depending on your choice of adjectives. I prefer hot. So, it will just be me and my computer for 5 days after a dose of

radioactive iodine

. I will be working on Forever 51 edits and starting on book two, tentatively titled Forever Young.

So, give me something to look forward to. It won't cost you a dime and if you decide to actually read a book about death, it might make you laugh.

So, that's all the news I've got to report. I think I get to carry a card that tells people if I die, they have to handle me in a special way. Maybe place me in a toxic waste facility. Who knows? I'll be fine.

So, have you ever been radioactive? Do tell. Synthroid or Armour?
