Idgie Says:
And how fun does THIS look!?!?! I love to keep little short stories on my phone for those rare times I don't have a book in hand and have 5 extra minutes. The stories also come with bonus animated graphics - what's not to like? It's a very pulp fiction type writing style (no, not the graphically violent movie!) Not classic literature, but when you're settling down for the night and want 5 minutes of reading, or are stuck waiting in the coffee line, airport, doctor's office... anywhere - this is perfect light reading to pass the time and keep you entertained.
I have Pirate Lair on my phone and read one chapter over morning coffee today... perfect!

GETFISK:
MOBILE APPS MEETS THE NOVELLA
IN NEW ELECTRONIC ADVENTURE SERIES
Some of the world's greatest adventure stories,
from the likes of Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Herman Melville, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, Stephen King and Michael Chabon have
been written as serials. Now the genre gets even more exciting with
adrenaline-pumping serials created for the digital age.
Combining the adrenaline rush of the thriller, the visual punch of the
graphic novel and the portable technology of the smart phone or tablet,
GETFISK is the cutting-edge, fast-paced entertainment for the
millennium, designed to be read on-the-go. Created by Potboiler LLC,
these mobile device suspense serials take readers where no eBook has
gone before—to the edge of their seats through combining
a traditional book format with elements from graphic novels, pulp
fiction, and anime (the great art form and storytelling of Japanese
animation).
No publisher has turned up the volume in the way Potboiler has by
delivering espionage thrills in bite-sized chunks—20,000-word novellas
with topics as current as the daily news. These novellas, released in
daily chapters and monthly episodes, center on a mysterious
figure known only as “Fisk” and his colleagues—special operative Carlos
Madrid, actress Tarita Lee and United Nations Deputy Secretary General,
Dr. Mai Lindstrom. Stories include:
·
PIRATE LAIR: An adventure on the high-seas when one of
Fisk's oil tankers is hijacked in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia. To find
the pirates and the missing tanker, he sends Tarita and Carlos into
pirate-infested waters as bait in a dangerous game.
·
MIDNIGHT IN JUAREZ: Fisk
gets caught in a hair-raising thriller when his operations in Mexico
are being threatened by drug cartel warfare. He sends Carlos and Tarita
to find the mysterious cartel boss named Paco Fuentes, who may or may
not be Carlos'
half-brother.
· JAVA JACKAL (Coming this summer): A mysterious and
legendary revolutionary is operating in Indonesia as a Muslim holy man.
Fisk sends Tarita to Bali under the guise of shooting a new blockbuster
film, but in reality to take on the insurgent
Imam, if they can find him.
The creative minds behind this publishing
game-changer are former Google manager Jeff Gillis and publishing
strategist Lynden Gillis, who bring together highly accomplished
artists, writers, editors and designers to create this bold,
new digital publishing vision.
Published in partnership with the digital publishing and distribution platform Vook, Potboiler accesses industry-leading
technology to design and quickly produce
their original ebooks and distribute them through Amazon, iBooks,
Barnes & Noble, and anywhere e-books are sold. Single chapters of
each novella can be viewed daily on
www.GetFisk.com during the first month of that novella’s release.
