Thank You Brave Readers!
April has seen our best sales week of 2017 thus far, and all we can say is THANK YOU!
You are all giants of literature, and lookers too!
"You Can Run," Rob's newest thriller is earning sales right out of the gate. "26 High Street," a Jack The Ripper Mystery, and "Outsupered II: Arrival of the Omniterrestrials" put numbers on the board this week too.
Nothing on the NYT Bestseller List, mind you, but we'll accept them with gratitude.
Have you read 'em? If not, there's likely a few (ahem) left that you can snap up! Rob's books are priced to move, easy to browse, buy and/or gift, and fun to read. Tale a look by clicking 'View All Titles' above. Order via AmazonSmile and a portion of your shopping total can be donated to a favorite charity!

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.

“You Can Run” – A Horror Novella
Here's the backcover blurb:
“Who are they? What are they? The world of
supernatural lore knows them only as “marchers.”
Ancient ethereal predators from beyond the veil.

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? Before you answer, please ask yourself if you know perfect love when you see it. The truth is, most people never do, while they just assume it's out there! 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.
Available in paperback or e-reader. Order via AmazonSmile, and you can make part of your purchase total a donation to a beloved charity.
Happy Valentine's Day, from all of us here at Fosterical Laboratories!

Every Choice A Gem.
We could make a rationalized appeal that Rob's books are a "girl's best friend," but the truth is the truth.
Rob's books are everyone's friend. There's not a bum in the bunch.
You like Classic Comedy, or Science Fiction, or yes, Superheroes performing epic do-goodery against seemingly impossible odds. You like excitement. And to laugh. You might like a tart I know in Silverlake, but I KNOW you'll love When Silence Was Golden, Outsupered, or No Exit.
Click the link above, "View All Titles" just under the main heading!
They're easy to buy, fun to read, and even great to gift. Buy through AmazonSmile and make a portion of your purchase total a donation to a favorite charity!
You'll also be helping Rob with a few medical bills. Browse in good health!
