IN THIS EPISODE:
Perry Dawsey begins to feel the effects of the infection, although it's still too early to tell if he will wind up like Martin Brewbaker. Margaret Montoya contines to examine Brewbaker's rapidly decomposing corpse, and finds key clues that could finally shed some light on a disease that drives people to murder.

BOOK SALES:
We got some preliminary numbers in, they are strong, but not as strong as they should be considering the size of Siglerism -- if you like these free podcasts, grab yourself a copy or buy one as a gift. The more books I sell, the more I can lock in doing this full-time, and the more stories you're going to get. You do the math -- buy one book per year, get over 70 free fiction episodes each year. Seems like a good deal to me, so get going!

Chapter thirteen

So, How different are the book and the podcast? I don't recall the podcast chapter 13 in the book...is it because it's an evil number?... All you out there! go buy the book and find out for your selfs!!! 

 

Ready to help you take over the world


Buy this book

If you're still looking for a reason to by this book, you're an id. There, I said it. This is, without exaggeration, the finest novel ever produced. Besides, think of the last thing you spent $20 on. I gotta go. You're upsetting me.

THE KATG?

"The finest novel ever produced." Truly, better words have never been spoken ...

Sorry about that

Must have fallen off the earth or something. Bought Ancestor on release day, but didn't get the word on the meatspace release of Infected until today. Ordered. p.s. I listened to the original podcast of this. How (much) has this version changed? I'm as much of a junkie as the next guy, but time is limited.

Can I send a book

to you to get signed? Bought three copies, gave two out as gifts this week via a small randon raffle. Kept one for me. Let me know...... Aldo

Bought a bunch

DeVoiD's picture

 I bought several of the dead tree and the CD, and I tell yah, the drive to work is SOOO much more bearable listning to the story while on the drive...........Crack-heads.... buy more than one book, more than 2.... buy the CD too (or again, more then a couple of copies), I for one want Scott to continue to do his dream, and if he can do that, while we get to escape in his fiction, then more power to all of us....so, lets get the number up, its only fair, especially when the number of copies sold doesnt match the amount of junkies downloading and listening,  that just aint cool, not cool at all...

BUY BUY BUY... buh-bye

It is not a crime. How could it be a crime to correct the injustice of someone possibly missing out on such an amazing bit of literature.

Lazy Bastards

Ozzy's picture

Damn these lazy bastards! I got 2 copies for my house, and I still consider it a steal.

But, I'm still pushing friends, and soon-to-be-not-friends, to buy the book. ANYONE THAT HAS LISTENED TO ALL THE PODCASTS HAVE GOTTEN ENOUGH LISTENING TO JUSTIFY $20.

Whew, I feel better. Of course, posting this here is like preaching to the choir, right?

Am I being a knob or is this god damn book not on sale in the UK? All I get is several used copies, not even a pre-order button .... Damn those corporate fools. ... or maybe I'm being a knob :-)

I think it comes out in June here in the UK. You can, as I have order from Amazon.com rather than .co.uk though.

(me cognitating about the Tip jar / no tip jar thing)In that case, Scott, what you ought to do is get your code guru(s) to put a button on the side of the page that lets people order from Amazon.com.  Or, if it's possible to do so without offending the stores in question, you could have one button for Amazon, and another button for Barnes and Noble or something.I know it must be possible to set up stuff like that 'cause they used to have something like it on Wingin' It.And that way, weirdos that want to support you through a virtual "tip jar" can just electronically buy a copy of your book at Amazon (I know, I know you're pushing brick-and-mortar, and I understand that, but a sale of *some* kind is better than no sale at all) and they can just think of paper book that shows up in the mail a few weeks later as a little extra "thank you" for their generous contribution to the cause of Siglerism.er... does that sound ok?

Furry cows moo and decompress.


I've got it .....

Shredder's picture

No, not any little triangles.

Have a tip jar, but what you do is, when you get enough to buy a book you ... buy a book (and hence increasing sales), but as it was just a tip, YOU own the book and use it to prop up your old desk under the stairs. You could even flog them on eBay and make even more money.

Just a thought :-) 


Granted, it says "PRE" order, but...

w_nightshade's picture
...have you seen the enormous triangular eye on the right fo the page? takes you to just such links. Scott, perhaps a re-wording of that link is in order? (And of course, direct links in the side navigation would be schweet... I can help design the buttons if you like) [I think, therefore I'm right. -Hugo Rune]

I must admit I was surprised

I must admit I was surprised to find Infected at Costco last weekend. Thrilled but surprised. So much for the underground cult status. We've gone mainstream baby.

at COSTCO??

Anyone else notice audio flub?

Astral Guardian's picture

Caught small audio omitted after the first transition from Perry to Margret; jumped right into the middle of a sentence. At first I thought it was my media player but listened twice and same result. Am I hearing things?

Time?

Give me the time of the flub, I'll try to get in there and look at it.

I have got three copies now

qforlong's picture

Two signed and one that Amazon STILL hasn't coughed up from a pre-order. I'm halfway through the written book and I have to say I amazed that I can be freshly and even more deeply horrified by the book in its written form. I'll grab another one for an evil, early Christmas present for some poor soul now.

 

Get out and buy the book ya damn, dirty junkies!!!

 

Me Sigler and Peach


Okay, no Budwesier this week!

Okay, I had to do it. Before the sales week was thru, I had to go any spend fifty bucks on Infected. My local bookstore had ordered three copies, I bought two! Now, looking at the comments, taht's not a huge amount, but to me fifty bucks is a lot more than beer money. Usually, even for my favorite authors I only buy the paperbacks. But for Scott, who has inspired so many us and given us so much great entertainment, I think it's the least I could do. He's even inspired me to launch my own novel podcast (keithlatch.podomatic.com). Now, can't wait for Earthcore in hardcover, that's what I'm fiening for! Go Sigler!

get it now its so worth it

dethhed's picture

i got my copy 2 days ago i had the pdf version but still i had to get my greasy litttle junkie hands on that sweet cover

so i could read it on the bus on my way to work. finished it today and loved every word of it.

it took me four hours of searching since in victoria bc only chapters had it it wasnt even on the shelves yet. they couldnt find it in their new shipments i finally went back another hour later found a clerk who searched for half an hour and found it for me. if i can go through all that. so can you so buy the bloody book.

 

ps its literally bloody too 2 thumbs up scottCool


Buy the Damn Book Already!

I'll be getting another copy or two down in H-Town...  Pretty soon I'll have a shelf of these things!  And I can think of no better cause than the Sigler Ascension!

Lazy Bastards

Okay, I've got six books so far. I keep buying them for lazy bastards that I know won't go to the bookstore anytime soon. I will be passing those out over the next few weeks. Anything I can do to do my part!

TIP JAR

darn's picture

SCOTT. MAGNUS.

I'd be more than happy to shell out $20 a year for your show. You need a virtual tip jar. I think I learned in Siglernomics 102 that if even half of your 30K+ listeners fork over $20 per year you could probably quit your day job and supply your junkies with audio-crack full time.

_ No bout a doubt it


This is WHY I don't have a tip jar ...

scottsigler's picture
Book sales are more than money. They are the industry's scorecard for ideas and the people who generate those ideas. Book sales reflect on my ability to entertain an audience, which can translate to movies, video games, blogging and other ways to spread Siglerism. That's why I do NOT have a tip jar -- if you want to really support the show, April 1 of every year gives you that opportunity.

For some reason it took this to convince me

bought the book today. FYI Books A Million (Chatt. TN) did not have you on the front table with the new releases but on the regular "fiction/literature" shelves. Only five copies remaining at the Hixson Pike store.

Mom is lagging

w_nightshade's picture
This is what happens when I rely on Mom for my Sigler-need. Sure, 33 years of loyal service so far, but the minute I ask her to pick up a copy of Infected it's "Oh, honey, I'll do it next week." She doesn't understand! Arrgh! [I think, therefore I'm right. -Hugo Rune]

I second wired pig. I have

cactusnic's picture

I second wired pig. I have never bought as many books as recently and it is a joy to do so. For the price of our support we get all the goodies that fantastic Authors such as Scott, Mike Bennett, PG Holyfield et al can serve up. In addition we get a much closer relationship with these guys. It is such a joy to get some abuse aimed at me personally by the FDO. Always makes my day!

Now I suppose I had better order ANOTHER copy of infected.

Amen to that!

wiredpig's picture

Scott,

I fully agree with you on the "buy the book" philosphy. I even blogged about it here. I cant think of a better way to support a podcaster than to buy their stuff. I get free content for a year, or more, in exchange for about $20.00 (or less) a copy. Heck, I even get it personalized for free.The same goes for, dare I say it, J.C. Hutchins' work or Mur or Tee... the list goes on. Its far cheaper than paying for XM radio for a year or the same volume in On-Demand movies.
