So I was at my favorite coffee shop with a writing buddy, Sierra, and she mentioned she’d been planning to read one of my books. I’d just made The Chaos Job free at all the retailers, and I sent her a quick email.
It should be free everywhere… https://books2read.com/JackpotDrift1
And then I went home to move more wood chips and forgot about it. The next time I checked my email, I had five replies to the original email (very lightly edited to keep things family friendly). WARNING! THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD!
5:04 PM
I’ve read the first six chapters so far and I love Sil and absolutely loathe Glass!
5:16 PM
The AI chats are great! The gerbils sound ominous.
5:53 PM
Zombie sheep! Of course Mud made a sheep with the synthskin.
Crumble is accidentally moving in, isn’t he?
5:59 PM
Theresa did you put an enemies to partners-in-crime to fake-dating to lovers subplot in this sci-fi fantasy ram [stuff] heist?
6:13 PM
The descriptions of the pseudosheep are making me laugh so hard!
And it just kept going from there
7:13 PM
Your descriptions of Crumble’s Mud-assisted cooking is making me so hungry! Another mark for this being a partly fantasy book, all good fantasy has food descriptions that make you hungry.
8:03PM
Of course Pyr knows something’s up! The barman always knows.
And at least he’s using Crumble’s name easily now.I love the progress of the construct horse and all the animal husbandry tidbits!
8:11 PM
“I’d rather be gerbil bombed” is a great line.
8:18 PM
Two squadmates and a weird zombie thing! The best covert mission team a lady could ask for.
Four squadmates if you count the two godlets, I suppose.
8:21 PM (I should probably mention here that Sierra also went to vet school.)
Does Glass’s one surviving horse have pinworms? It seems to be scratching its rear on the fence quite firmly.
My reply @8:22 PM
It does, but that is never said in the book.
8:24 PM
Secret vet plot point
8:34 PM
Why did he kidnap a sheep????
8:35 PM
BAAING HER SCORN FOR ALL THE WORLD TO HEAR
Aggressive sheep are delightful for me, who does not have to work with them.
8:48 PM
Wow, this section really is chaos, isn’t it!
8:51 PM
I am GREATLY enjoying Glass getting more and more aggravated as the car ride goes on.
9:02 PM
She told him to run and he stayed for her and now they’ve both been arrested and there’s a pregnant ewe strapped into the car! And what on or off earth is Mud trying to do? Does this have to do with the oddness of the equipment Glass has made a high priority for Sil to fix and the damage said equipment has sustained? Oh boy oh boy I can’t wait to find out.
9:22 PM
Yes! Yes!! Glass has been tranq’d and put in a stasis box! He deserves it.
9:41 PM
Yay! I like the ending. Good wrap-up of all the main plot threads, and I look forward to reading the sequels.
So there you have it! Thank you to Sierra for kindly allowing me to share her hilarious email chain!
