Spilling my guts on Surreal Sermons

Just laying low today? Relaxing? Searing the flesh of tasty dead animals?

Why not kick back and listen to the latest episode of THE bizarro fiction podcast, Surreal Sermons?

Host Jeremy Maddux invited me back to chat about the struggle to sell books but the conversation took a turn when I talked about almost dying and my recent experience with a rift in the time-space continuum. TRUE STORY.

Titanic May Spectacular! Freebies! Swag! Cool Shit Awaits!

Slide1

Hi Folks,

So here’s the deal…

I need to sell about 100 copies of Pax Titanus. It’s a serious issue. It means the difference between earning a book contract or well, NOT.

So, I have put together a special THANK YOU/ MEGA ULTIMATE FAN PACK for ANYONE who PURCHASES or REVIEWS my latest book, Pax Titanus during the month of May.

What’s in the PACK?

AND…

If you PURCHASE AND REVIEW, I will throw in a glossy 8 1/2″ x 11″ Glossy print of the Pax Titanus cover art, ready for framing.

Pretty cool, right?

The conditions are simple:

  • Buy a print or ebook copy of Pax Titanus on Amazon in the month of May 2015.
  • Review Pax Titanus on Amazon, Goodreads, or Barnes and Noble. (Amazon is preferred).
  • Send an email confirmation of either to Room1331 at gmail dot com.
  • I will ask you for a mailing address and what you’d like your autograph plate to read.
  • I will send you the awesomeness. Anywhere in the world. I ain’t kidding.

BUT KIND SIR, I’ve already done both things. I think you are a kick-ass dude. Surely, there’s some love for me?

I hear you. I love you. Really. But I’m in a tough spot right now. This might be time to buy a copy for a friend. Time to conspire. You can split the booty.

Please share, retweet, send smoke signals, etc. This is a big, desperate times push kind of thing. Let’s throw down.

Free Pax Titanus Stuff.

March Interviews

FaradayPress

For those of you who stop by my blog because you support my writing, books, and other writerly enterprises…today’s post should be a double-down of tastiness.

I recently had the chance to be the subject of two in-depth interviews and they both published within 24 hours of each other. Sweet serendipity, that’s a lot of me.

Stop by the Surreal Sermons podcast for roughly an hour of me babbling away as noteworthy podcaster Jeremy Maddux hits me with some tough questions. Click Here for Awesome.

If you are more in the mood to read instead of listen, check out this long-ish interview with me over at Paper Tape Magazine. I was asked some incredibly thoughtful questions. Click Here for Some Fun.

So yeah…I have been doing my fair share of lip-flapping. You gotta when you have books to sell. Check out these interviews and let me know how I did in the comments below.

Rock and Roll.

Lucas out.

Are you on Goodreads?

If you are, next month (NEXT WEEK) Pax Titanus and the other fine NBAS books will be the featured read in the Bizarro Fiction group.

There are separate threads for each book, an AMA and I’m pretty sure some free stuff will be going down.

You’ll have to join to group, but trust me — these are some good folks. You want to join, you just don’t know it yet.

Hope to see you there.

Hello, my pretties!

I know, two hours. But it’s two hours of ME!

We talked about Pax Titanus, the New Bizarro Author Series, self-publishing, BizarroCon, facing rejection, and the dangers of having an online presence.

If you have the time, please check it out. And please — share with your friends!

Read About Me on Suicide Girls. WTF?

woundedI have recovered well enough from a three day sugar bender and have enough energy to share this recent bit of press with you.

I was just interviewed by the infamous Tiffany Scandal. She’s a bit of a wonder — author, photographer, and model. I was honored to have a chance to stop by her blog.

Check it out here: http://tiffanyscandalsucks.com/blog/2014/12/28/meet-tom-lucas

It’s also up on Suicide Girls, if you aren’t at work or in polite company: https://suicidegirls.com/members/silencia/blog/2798799/meet-tom-lucas-author-of-pax-titanus/

Hi all,

LitReactor. Do you know this site? I’ve been reading craft articles on this site for a few years now. One of my favorite authors, Chuck Palahniuk has written many of them.

Now there’s another great article, just posted there today.

Why so great? Why, it’s about me, Pax Titanus, and how the hell it happened.

Uh, fuck yeah.

If you have a chance, check it out!
