Toby Streams the Universe is going free at midnight tonight (or thereabouts), and will stay free until midnight on Wednesday…so help me celebrate turning 41 and Sophie turning 8 by downloading a copy!  And jeezus, I can’t believe Sophie is already freaking EIGHT.  And look at me, 41, I’m like, drying up as we speak.  Wrinkles.  Sagging.  But wait, no, there will be none of that!  Through sheer force of will, plus yoga and green smoothies, I will resist the downward tide of gravity and aging!  Or at least, you know, slow it down.  A little.

Note: For those who don’t know (a few folk have asked), you don’t have to have a Kindle to read Kindle books.  You probably already have a device that can read Kindle-things.  You just download the free Kindle app to whatever assorted phones, tablets, computers, etc you have and get to reading.  For example, I love reading kindle books on my ipod.  Lightweight, has it’s own light, you can turn pages with a flick of the thumb….

So! Go forth and download!  Watch Toby solve the mystery of his missing father, try to date the beautiful painter next door, and juggle a cast of crazy friends and family, all while hearing strange voices and seeing confusing visions…is he going crazy or just drinking too much?  Find out for free for the next 48 hours.  Toby will be so pleased.

And please, if you read and like, consider posting a quick review on amazon.  I’d be thrilled to hear from you!

  1. Happy Happy Birthday Maya and Sophie. Eight Sophie, EIGHT, time to get a job and support your Mum. Already downloaded Toby but STILL haven’t read it (hangs head in shame) haven’t got used to reading novels in ebook yet, I’m a bath reader what can I say, though it seems there are bath covers for kindle’s and iPads now. Will start reading it again promise, enjoyed the first couple of chapters.

    I would love to download, but my reader is a Nook. I really enjoyed Conjuring Raine. You did a wonderful job on the podcast. Do you think in your spare time you might do the same with Toby? :P

  3. Shannon says:

    PS A very Happy Birthday to you both. May it be a extra wonderful day in all the wonderful days you have already. :)

    Thanks so much Grimmly, Shannon, and Michele!
    Grim, No Shame! read if you like it, move on otherwise. (I put my kindle in a ziplock back, works great.)
    Shannon, sorry Toby’s not on Nook at the moment. Probably no podcast anytime soon, so many projects, so little time.
    Thanks, Michele! Unless you don’t like it then, you know, maybe don’t review, haha.

  6. Ziplock sandwich bag an inspired idea, posted a pic on FB.

    Grimmly! You’re hilarious, that facebook picture is awesome, Toby’s cover looks terrific on the ipad, doesn’t it? :) :) :) Ida did some great art for me. Glad the to have improved your bathtime reading experience…

    Doesn’t it though, think I need a colour cover for my book. Am in bath reading now, Toby is at his Mom’s house, I like Maddie :) just wanted to say I’m really enjoying it. OK, back to the search for those histories….

  9. maya says:

    Haha, glad you’re enjoying it. I adore reading in the tub, do so every night, I’ve got one of those old cast iron claw foot tubs, perfect for a good soak. You should totally do color for your cover! High res, too, the ipad shows it off.

  10. Really enjoying it now may, love the Characters, care about what happens to them (love Nan), worried about Toby though, spreading himself a bit thin…..and you’ve snuck an ashtangi in, loving it : )

  11. maya says:

    I’m delighted, Grim! Yeah, I sneaked Andy the Ashtangi in, hee. I hope it keeps your interest to the end…
