The New Year is just days away. Why not resolve to read more?

Your Lofty Reading Tastes...

While you climb the social ladder, sometimes you need a break. Not a leg, but a rest.

This really contrived message is to grab your... attention – Christmas is coming, fer cornsakes! I'm selling really neat stuff, and they make great gifts – for your favorite bookworm, or to keep for yourself!

Comedy, Sci-fi'ery, Horrory, Daring Adventury and Shenanigans of every stripe.

Superheroes are the in-thing, and I have a completely (kind'a) original batch, that satirize the genre while not skimping on the thrills, or a stunning underpinning of societal/political commentary! Plus, a good story, as they say. I dare you to read Outsupered, and its every-bit-as-good sequel Outsupered II, among great choices in the Fosterical Library O' Modern Classics!

Paperback and E-reader formats are available, and priced to move. Fun to browse, buy, gift, and even more fun to read!

Use AmazonSmile® to shop, and make a small portion of your purchase a gift to your favorite charity.

If it's a charity I disagree with, then stick it to me! I dare ya!

Want to read FREE? Use your KindleUnlimited membership – but I hope you'll like the book enough to get a permanent copy on your device.

My medical bills thank you. My New Year thanks you. And I thank you!

Put Aside Your Assumptions.

We can't tell you what to read or how to read it, but we can make suggestions as to what you might consider, being the genius that you are.

Trigonometry, high philosophy, advanced computer code... superheroes, horror, classic comedy...

There are no knuckle-draggers among the browsers in the Fosterical Library; everyone is an erudite. There's something for everyone, and if not, there will be something coming along shortly. New titles are on the way!

All good. All one.

Relax And Look Fab! A Great Book Helps.

It's a given that people attract attention in public – sometimes even in private – with one of Foster's unique tomes in hand.

Being an iconic pop culture pin-up model, is not bad. What completes the ensemble is what seals the question of your intellect. No, you are to be appreciated and respected for more than your body. We agree!

You can even be a cheap date, and still carry yourself with prestige; a bona fide member of the Literati! Purchase any of Rob's books for your E-Reader device – Kindle®, Nook®, or E-Book App on your android or computer – you'll never pay more than a few dollars; most are just 99¢!

If you're a KindleUnlimited member, some titles are even available to read free!

They're available in paperback too, if you swing that way!

You don't even have to use Amazon, if you prefer a different online marketplace. But Amazon is working wonders at Whole Foods... Rob's books are refreshing, at amenable prices too.

Where does your meager cost go? It provides Rob a modest royalty with which to address his mounting medical bills, pays Amazon back its costs to publish the book... and if you use AmazonSmile to shop and order, it can even send a little to your favorite charity.

Disaster relief, anyone?

You can afford one of Rob's books, help someone in need, and be someone's poster-crush too!

It’s Good Anywhere!

Rob’s books enhance any activity. All you have to do is crack one open and partake of the adventure, the enlightenment, the shenanigans.

They are not expensive – available in both paperback and e-reader format – easy to browse, buy, gift and enjoy.

KindleUnlimited® members can get some titles free. AmazonSmile® shoppers can make part of their purchase total a gift to a favorite charity, which qualifies as “doing something” rather than just flapping your hypothetical gums on social media.

Jump in and cool off. Rob’s hospital bills appreciate your trouble.

Read in resplendent health!

Keep More Of Your Paycheck!

We here at the Fosterical Library have noticed a disturbing trend in online book marketing. More and more new authors, especially in the E-Reader editions, are getting pretty bold about giving you less and asking more.

Books with less than fifty pages, and double-digit asking prices? Are they serious? About subjects that other – more prolific – writers have covered better, and cheaper?

You won't find such shenanigans here.

Rob pours his writer's heart out, between the covers of every title, and empties his passion out onto the page, down to the dregs. What does he ask in return?

If you purchase any of Rob's books for your E-Reader device – Kindle®, Nook®, or E-Book App on your android or computer – you'll never pay more than a few dollars each; most are just 99¢!

If you're a KindleUnlimited member, some titles are even available to read free!

They're not that pricey in paperback either, if you prefer tangible book products.

You don't even have to use Amazon, if you prefer a different online marketplace. Rob's books are refreshing, at amenable prices too.

Where does your meager cost go? It provides Rob a modest royalty with which to address his mounting medical bills, pays Amazon back its costs to publish the book... and if you use AmazonSmile to shop and order, it can even send a little to your favorite charity.

Wildfire relief, anyone?

You can afford one of Rob's books, help someone in need, and buy groceries too!

Is Nothing Sacred?

No commodity in this life is more precious than your time. You can spend it wandering in search of something you are not sure you will even recognize was worth the journey, or you can ask someone who's been down the road, what's at the other end.

It's a good thing that somebody wrote it all down. Just like the fantastic one-of-a-kind journeys into laughter, awe and adventure waiting for you in the Fosterical Library!

Gut-punching comedy. Jaw-dropping adventure! Heart-pounding super-heroics! Eyebrow curling horror. And a ton of fun along the way with each and every ride!

John Rankin

"So I received my copy of When Silence Was Golden yesterday and of course I immediately went to the randomly inserted, obligatory, controversial centerfold everyone has been talking about. I was speechless! Shocked!

"Expecting a tasteful spread featuring the likes of Clara Bow or Mary Pickford, or Betty Boop or Betty Page... Heck, even Minnie Pearl would have been preferable... Imagine my shock opening the centerfold to find, well...

"I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone, so I'll just say 'When' I saw it, the 'Silence' of my reaction 'Was Golden.' Needless to say, I needed to take a long hot shower after this one..."

A Note From the Lad Himself:

Some years ago, I got tired of browsing books that only skimmed the surface of my interests. I began writing the kind of books I wanted to read!

I populated them with characters that I found inspiring, some based on people I wanted to "give back" to, or both! I brought forth ideas that intrigued me, and still do – for plots that stick in your think-tank after the final page is turned, and perhaps challenge you to read again and again!

Fun, escapism, envelope-pushing stories that do not obey the laws of reading physics – they carry out their mission to entertain, between the covers of every title!

I priced them as affordably as Amazon's authoring system would allow, because foremost, I wanted readers who'd spread the word about the value I strove (and still strive) to create.

The adventure awaits and I am thrilled to invite you along. The purchase of a book, or several, provides me with a small royalty that helps with my medical bills. I have a few physical issues from which writing fantastic tales of derring-do or testing your funny-bone, give me moments of disconnectedness.

Providing a unique, memorable reading experience is a whole other level of elation. I hope you'll indulge me.

New Title Alert! It's Officially Scary!

The Fosterical Library O' Modern Classics announces the arrival of our newest, and quite possibly scariest, book to date!

Your skin will crawl, your arm fuzz will vibrate, and your brain will flip like a burnt pancake. Maybe it would have been easier, and more apropos, to release this title around Halloween – but we couldn't wait.

If they drop the big one tomorrow, you won't sweat it, having survived the terrifying tale contained in…

YOU CAN RUN
A Horror Novella

What is a "novella" exactly? It's that gray middle ground between a short story and a novel. Generally speaking, it's a novel that is readable in a single sitting. But… you may want to absorb it in rationed chunks… like a really spicy chili recipe… the bathroom trips may be about as numerous, anyway!

What's it about? Here again is the back cover blurb:

“Who are they? What are they? The world of supernatural lore knows them only as “marchers.” Ancient ethereal predators from beyond the veil. For centuries they have hunted humans, silently, relentlessly. With no concept of mercy, they cannot be pleaded with, and pursue their victims to the death – those whom by unholy mischief or betrayal, become marked. Once a marcher has latched on, the hunted have only one option – to run, for as long as possible, with a desperation to pass the mark onto some other unwitting soul, and hope the new victim can as well, lest the mark fall back to them after that person is caught and devoured.

Troy Terrill, a young upstart in the game of paranormal investigation, finds himself the only hope of not one, but two cursed people with marchers on their trail. Can he rid them of their pursuing abominations? Can anyone? Don’t dwell upon the answer too deeply; the act of pondering a marcher gives it your scent...”

It's NOW AVAILABLE in paperback, or e-reader version. Buy your copy via AmazonSmile, and make a portion of your purchase a donation to your favorite charity.

Are you a KindleUnlimited member? If so, you can read YOU CAN RUN for free!

Turn the lights down, get into your scaredy-cat jammers, a favorite chair, or in bed with the crickets outside the window, and prepare for the most fun you'll ever have being creeped out!

Welcome. Happy booking!

Have You Heard The Latest?

It's not just a rumor.

If you've been told there will be a new title arriving soon to the Fosterical Library O' Classics, you heard correctly.

The newest book in Foster's series of novels is nearing completion as you read this. To quell all the misinformation, here's the scoop:

“You Can Run” – A Horror Novella

Here's the backcover blurb:

“Who are they? What are they? The world of

IT'S ALL SO EASY, IT'S SCARY!!

Instead of tossing cash at the next Politician-Wiffa-Vision's fundraiser, how about...

Give it up; the people playing you based upon your fears – all they really want is your savings. They want you to make their next bank deposit possible, their lifestyle financially secure, their retirement plan solidified. At the cost of your own.

People are already gearing up their Presidential Campaigns for 2020, and what does it boil down to? Fundraising. Does it strike you as funny, that they're already millionaires... asking YOU for money?

You know what they're going to do with your money? Spend it on themselves. With no expenditure report back to you, what they spent it on. It went "to the campaign."

Instead of that, how about we pitch a different campaign at you – one with no hidden agenda, and not nearly as expensive. With a viable reward. You get something tangible in return for your money!

A fun book. And the money? It goes toward the author's medical bills, so's he can stay alive and stay writing. And... part of the money, if you want, goes to a charity that YOU choose – not some tight-lipped millionaire wanting you to buy his future for him or her. That happens when you order through AmazonSmile.

But shop via any online bookseller – it's all good.

Click the link above, 'View All Titles!' More are on the way, in the coming year.

Thanks for hearing the pitch. Happy browsing, buying, reading, and enjoying the great payback for your simple contribution!

An Intimate Message Just Between Us...

Now that we have you alone here ON THE INTERNET...

Your private thoughts are your business, but we know what you're thinking:

"Oh swell, another book pitch, to convince me to browse through Foster's work one more time, hoping I'll buy one... or two... or more..."

Or one of each, they're not that pricey.

We want you to know, it's serious between us. There are new titles on the way, and just in case Mr. or Ms. Right doesn't show up by the fireplace with a bottle of cheap wine, you can always curl up in the boodwah with something fun between the covers (to read, that is.)

We even have an apropos selection for Get A Heart On Day...

Eight Short Plays That Scientifically Disprove The Existence of Love

Remember the last time you saw two people lost in the throes of love and wondered just what was the hidden backstory behind that outer layer of blithe perfection?

This saucy collection of rowdy sketch comedy explores that mysterious valley between love, like... and mutual tolerance. Don't let the book's title rile you too much – a treasure trove of lovely laughter awaits, whether you are a theatrical producer, actor, or just want to read and enjoy the ride. Decide for yourself herein what is proven or debunked about everyone's favorite subject, nude skydiving. Er, uh... no. We meant love.

Happy Valentine's Day, from all of us here at Fosterical Laboratories!
