SHOT OF TEQUILA by JA Konrath
A gutsy robbery
Several million bucks, stolen from the mob...
A perfect frame
All caught on video, with no chance of redemption...
A red hot recipe for roaring revenge
Now one man must single-handedly face the entire Chicago Outfit, a group of hardened Mafia enforcers, a psychotic bookie, the most dangerous hitman on earth, and Detective Jacqueline Daniels.
His name is Tequila. And he likes those odds.
Shot of Tequila takes place in the early 1990s, and is both an homage to and a re-envisioning of classic action novels by authors like Mickey Spillane, Ross Macdonald, Donald Westlake, and Elmore Leonard, but with a more modern twist. The breakneck action is intercut with scenes featuring Konrath's series hero Jack Daniels, here as a supporting character chasing the main protagonist. Edge-of-your-seat suspense, non-stop action, and dark humor punctuate this heist novel/fugitive-on-the-run thriller. Fans of Konrath's police procedurals will enjoy the slight departure from his normal writing style, while still finding familiarity with the setting and characters.
Shot of Tequila is approximately 75,000 words.

ORIGIN by JA Konrath
1906 - Something is discovered by workers digging the Panama Canal. Something dormant. Sinister. Very much alive.
2006 - Project Samhain. A secret underground government installation begun 100 years ago in New Mexico. The best minds in the world have been recruited to study the most amazing discovery in the history of mankind. But the century of peaceful research is about to end.
BECAUSE IT JUST WOKE UP.
ORIGIN by JA Konrath
Hell is about to break loose... for real.
In reality, Satan is not a handsome gentleman as portrayed by a Hollywood leading man. Viewing him through the Plexiglas, he's a frightening beast, massively muscled, with hoofs the size of washtubs and the serrated teeth of a carnivore. The demon can be pleasant, even chatty, and delights in showing off his power of resurrecting the dead sheep he dines upon. To some of the staff studying him at the secret government compound, he's even likable.
That is, until he breaks out...
Origin is a mainstream thriller combining the techno-science of Jurassic Park with the theological horror of The Exorcist.
Billions around the world fear the concept of the devil.
Now they'll have a chance to fear him in person.

THE LIST by JA Konrath
A billionaire Senator with money to burn...
A thirty year old science experiment, about to be revealed...
Seven people, marked for death, not for what they know, but for what they are...
THE LIST by JA Konrath
History is about to repeat itself
The List is a bit of a departure for Konrath. It's a technothriller about a group of ten people who each have tattoos of numbers on the bottoms their feet, and don't know why. One of them, a Chicago Homicide cop named Tom Mankowski, has had one of these strange tattoos since birth. When he investigates a violent murder and discovers the victim also has a tattooed number, it sets the ball rolling for an adventure of historic proportions. To say more would give away too much. Like the Jack Daniels series, it combines laugh out loud humor with serious suspense and thrills.
The List is approximately 82,000 words long.

TRAPPED by Jack Kilborn
TERRIFIED...
It was supposed to be a harmless camping trip. Six wayward teenagers who'd run into trouble with the law, and their court-appointed guardians, Sara and Martin Randhurst. Three nights on a small, deserted island off of Michigan's upper peninsula. A time to bond, to learn, to heal. Then Martin told a campfire story about the island's history. Of the old civil war prison hidden in there, and the starving confederate soldiers who resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. Everyone thought it was funny. They even laughed when Martin pretended to be dragged off into the woods. But Martin didn't come back. And neither did Sara when she went in search of him. Then the laughter stopped.
...TO DEATH
The group soon began to realize that this deserted island wasn't so deserted after all. And perhaps Martin's ridiculous story had more truth to it than anyone thought. What's the most horrifying thing you can imagine? This is a hundred times worse...

ENDURANCE by Jack Kilborn
WELCOME TO THE RUSHMORE INN
The bed and breakfast was hidden in the hills of West Virginia. Wary guests wondered how it could stay in business at such a creepy, remote location. Especially with its bizarre, presidential decor and eccentric proprietor.
ONCE YOU CHECK IN...
When the event hotel for the national Iron Woman triathlon accidentally overbooked, competitor Maria was forced to stay at the Rushmore. But after checking into her room, she quickly realized she wasn't alone. First her suitcase wasn't where she put it. Then her cell phone was moved. Finally, she heard an odd creaking under the bed.

A DYING MAN'S GREATEST TREASURE...
Mortimer Moorecook, retired Wall Street raider, avid collector, is losing his fight against cancer. With weeks to live, a package arrives at the door of his hillside mansion-an artifact he paid millions for...a hominoid skull with elongated teeth, discovered in a farmer's field in the Romanian countryside. With Shanna, his beautiful research assistant looking on, he sinks the skull's razor sharp fangs into his neck, and immediately goes into convulsions.
OPENS THE DOOR TO AN ANCIENT EVIL...
A rural hospital. A slow night in the ER. Until Moorecook arrives strapped to a gurney, where he promptly codes and dies.

Four well-known horror authors pool their penchants for scares and thrills, and tackle one of the greatest of all legends, with each writer creating a unique character and following them through a vampire outbreak in a secluded hospital.

One tranquil May evening in North Carolina, semi-famous horror novelist Andrew Thomas strolls down his long gravel drive to check his mailbox. Inside is a note:
"Greetings. There is a body buried on your property, covered in your blood. The unfortunate young lady's name is Rita Jones. In her jeans pocket, you'll find a slip of paper with a phone number on it. You have one day to call that number. If I have not heard from you by 8 P.M. tomorrow, the police department will receive an anonymous phone call. I'll tell them where Rita Jones is buried, how you killed her, and where the murder weapon can be found. (I do believe a paring knife is missing from your kitchen.)"
Andrew Thomas thinks this message is just a mischievous prank. He's wrong-very, very wrong. And soon he's going to be very, very scared.
Desert Places is an adrenaline-fuled nightmare, guaranteed to make you lose sleep.

SUCKERS by JA Konrath and Jeff Strand
Masters of the comedy thriller genre, J.A. Konrath and Jeff Strand, team up for the humorous horror novella Suckers.
Jeff Strand's perpetually unlucky character Andrew Mayhem, star of the novels Graverobbers Wanted (No Experience Necessary), Single White Psychopath Seeks Same, and Casket For Sale (Only Used Once), sets off on a simple mission at the request of his wife: Get some spaghetti sauce.
On his way to the store he meets Konrath's obnoxious private eye Harry McGlade, co-star of the Lt. Jack Daniels thrillers Whiskey Sour, Bloody Mary, Rusty Nail, Dirty Martini, Fuzzy Navel, and Cherry Bomb.
Horrific violence, bad jokes, and lots of name calling soon ensues. Some sex, too, but not between the main characters.
Originally, published as a very expensive limited-edition hardcover, Suckers is now available as a super cheap ebook.

SERIAL by Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn
Thriller writers Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn turn their attention to the twin golden rules of hitchhiking:
# 1: Don’t go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy.
# 2: Don’t pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be a certifiably crazy.
So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2?
When two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction face off, the result is Serial, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an “After School Special,” Serial is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides.
Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, Serial is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other’s opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psycho win.
Serial contains the 9000 word novella, Serial, a Q&A with Kilborn and Crouch, author bibliographies, and excerpts from their most recent and forthcoming works: Kilborn’s Afraid and Crouch’s Abandon.
And finally, a warning about Serial from the authors…
Serial is a horror novella written by masters of the genre Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn.
But just because it is 100% free doesn’t mean you should automatically download it.
This is disturbing stuff. Perhaps too disturbing.
If you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk.
But if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead.
The authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read Serial. They will not pay for any therapy you may require as a result of reading Serial. They will not cradle you in their arms, rock you back and forth, and speak in soothing tones while you unsuccessfully try to forget Serial.
You have been warned.

SERIAL UNCUT by Blake Crouch, Jack Kilborn and JA Konrath
Did you think Serial and Truck Stop were too intense? Here's the real stuff...
When Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn released the ebook Serial in 2009, it was downloaded more than 300,000 times.
Kilborn went on to use his Serial antagonist in the novella Truck Stop, and Crouch used his in the novella Bad Girl.
Serial Uncut combines Serial, Truck Stop, and Bad Girl into a seemless thrill ride straight into hell. It also incorporates brand new material, and scenes cut from the original version of Serial that were considered too intense.
This 35,000 word novella intertwines the work of Crouch, Konrath, and Kilborn, featuring characters from the Jack Daniels series, Kilborn's Afraid and Trapped, and Crouch's Desert Places and Locked Doors. The events in Serial Uncut serve as a prequel to Shaken, the seventh Jack Daniels novel.
A Word of Warning: Serial Uncut is about serial killers interacting with serial killers. It isn't for the faint of heart.

BANANA HAMMOCK - A Harry McGlade Adventure by JA Konrath
Remember Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novels? They're back...
Private Detective Harry McGlade is hired by an Amish woman who suspects her husband is cheating on her. Going undercover into their community, Harry must untangle a web of lies and deception to find the truth. This will be his biggest challenge yet. Because Harry McGlade is an idiot.
Lead Harry through a series of comic misadventures and bad puns as he traverses the J.A. Konrath universe, popping into many familiar books and stories. Prepare to be shocked and amazed by scenes that are just plain wrong. It's over 60,000 words of Harry McGlade, which is probably way too much.
This Is A "Write Your Own Damn Story" Adventure
Banana Hammock is not a single, linear book, and should not be read sequentially, page by page. Instead, it is an interactive text adventure.
This ebook is meant to be read out of order, depending on the path you, the reader, choose.
Harry McGlade is a continuing character in the Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels series. At the end of each section, you decide where Harry goes, and what he does. By following different paths, you can arrive at many different endings. There are literally hundreds of variations.
You control the character! You control the fun!
Join Harry and a cast pulled from JA Konrath and Jack Kilborn stories, and push ebook technology to the boundaries of reading enjoyment, or something like that.
Warning: This ebook is filled with raunchy humor, and has something to offend everyone. If you believe there are taboo things that shouldn’t be laughed at or made fun of, don't buy it. Instead, pick up one of my other, less-offensive books. But if you like roasting sacred cows, read on. You’ll laugh.

DUMB JOKES & VULGAR POEMS - J. Andrew Haknort Uncut and Uncensored
This collection of over 1000 bad jokes and poems is 100% guranteed to make you wet your pants laughing. If you don't wet your pants, we'll send someone over to wet them for you.
WARNING. THIS IS VULGAR AND OFFENSIVE AND SHOULDN'T BE READ BY ANYBODY.
Hey! Jerkface! Get your neck out of that noose!
The underground Internet sensation, J. Andrew Haknort, is finally available for your Kindle reader thingy, so you don't have to kill yourself!
What? Haven't heard of the Woobie Award winning poetry of Haknort?
He was voted the worst poet in history, by people who vote for things like that, probably when they should be working instead of screwing around with Internet polls. Your boss knows you slack off. He's got a little tracker bot on your computer, so he sees how often you check your Facebook page. He's also got a spy cam in the washroom.
Where were we? Oh yeah. The ebook.
This ebook collection of over one thousand short, terrible, offensive, vulgar, dirty, politically incorrect bad poems and awful jokes is just the thing to brighten up your miserable life.
Unless you're easily offended. Then you shouldn't buy this. Spend your money on something better for your soul. Like meth. Or bullets.
But... if you can handle extreme bad taste, and you're the type of person who has a bunch of goofy friends who like to get drunk and play "handtool dodgeball," then this may be the book you've been searching for your whole miserable life.
This ebook contains hundreds and hundreds of hilariously awful jokes and gut busting poems. Plus it's fat free. And it makes you more attractive. And it cures cancer.
It's funny. Not funny like your Aunt Zelda, who your parents put in a home because she thought the squirrels were plotting against her. This ebook is haha funny.
The fact is, there isn't a single thing you can do that will give you more enjoyment than this crappy little ebook poetry collection. Except maybe buy feeder mice. They get so freaked-out when you drop them in the aquarium with your pet snake, and they run around all scared, but where are you going to run, little Mr. Mouse? You're stuck in an aquarium! You can see through the walls of your glass prison but you can't escape!
Snakes are cool.
If you took all the snakes in the world, and laid them all end to end, it would probably take a lot of time.
Anyway, here are some examples of the over one thousand (did we mention there are over 1000?) gems included in this ebook:
WHY THE FLOOR IS WET
I pissed,
And I missed.
JEFF
No one likes,
My cousin Jeff,
He’s a nice guy,
But has bad breff.
GRANDMA
My Grandma wear a diaper,
I really hate to wipe her.
I LOST MY SQUIRREL
I lost my squirrel!
I lost my squirrel!
It just fell off now I’m a girl!
FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS
Why is it raining?
I don’t Noah.
GIANT HOG
There is a giant hog,
Who lives in my garage,
But I never see him,
Because he uses hamoflage.
DOING TIME
Prison gave me acne,
So I broke out.
HUNGRY GUY
I ate the parrot,
And didn’t share it.
THE PILL
Mary is on the pill,
But it plagues her with doubt,
Whenever she has sex,
The pill just falls right out.
Plus hundreds more bad poems, most of them too filthy to be printed here.
Besides the lousy poetry, this book contains hundreds of Haknort's thoughts and observations, some of them as seen on Twitter, including:
I wrote a book about menopause, but it is hard to understand because it doesn't have any periods.
When the old gypsy cursed me, I laughed in her face. I'm not laughing now, because when she saw me laugh she beat the crap out of me.
I was addicted to nicotine gum, chewing three packs a day. So in order to ween myself off, I started smoking.
Whenever I go fishing, I'm reminded of an old girlfriend. Her name was Annette. She also had a sister, named Smallmouth Bass.
I’ll never forget what my grandfather used to say. I would sit on his lap and he would yell, “Fatty buttocks! Fatty Buttocks!” at the top of his lungs. I guess I never really understood my grandfather. My parents didn’t, either. That’s probably why they put him away.
