I’m celebrating the release of “Mantula: Have some discord” today! This weird little book started as a handful of blog posts and quickly turned into a full-blown multimedia project. I was having too much fun to stop writing the story of Doug and his curse. When I finally did come to the end, I decided to collect the comics, the chapters, and the fake news stories into this single volume.
I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I did making it.
Check out the book on Amazon (PRINT COPY)
Check it out here for e-book (KINDLE)
Read the blurb:
Curses, addiction, despair. Add in a couple of Catholic saints and a meth addict-turned quail and you’ve got the makings of Doug’s new life. It isn’t one he wanted. He never asked to wake up in the body of a tarantula, but that’s what happened. And it’s up to him to break the curse. Or die trying. Told in written form, comic form, through emails and news stories; Mantula is part super hero and part monster, and a unique multimedia experience.

Yay! Well done. Just got my e-copy. :_
Sweet! PS – learned of a formatting issue on the Kindle version, though (graphics conversion issue). It should be fixed tomorrow with luck! And hopefully it works on yours!
No matter. It’ll all read the same, yes?
It should, but some of the comics were not loading correctly. Amazon and graphics do not jive well in the Kindle department. A new version should be live in a few hours!
My iPad has been acting up the last 2 days. I’ll check it out when I can get back one. Congrats again!
I hope you get that tech living again! And you’ve pretty much read all of Mantula anyway!
Thanks. I just need to give it a little TLC, but haven’t had the chance. I know, right? I already have had a great intro to the story, and it’s fabulous!
The Fabulous Mantula! That could be the comic book name…
Totally! My iPad is working again and it’s great to catch up to where I originally started reading on your blog. Most of the images work, but some do not. No matter to me, I’m really enjoying the story.
The update, when it eventually kicks in, should patch the images. Fingers crossed! Technology is never kind.
No worries on my end, mate. It doesn’t hinder the absolute enjoyment I have reading your book.
Absolute Mantula all the way!
Right on! MantulaRockstheHouseDown!

I liked it even better the second time around!
Yay! That means MantulaisKingoftheWorld!
Yay! That means MantulaisKingoftheUniverse!
Not just the known universe, but the whole universe, which means he’s better than that guy in “Dune.”
Hell, he’s better than all the Dr. Who’s. Whose? Whos?
Hey
I found it intriguing going through.
You are invited to my blog too.
Thank you! Glad you visited!
