Ready for some *FOOTBALL* !

Just placed my order. Can't wait to get The Rookie in my sweaty little hands!

Oh, thank you FDO! This has got to be my favorite podcast novel (even over 7th Son... sorry Hutchins).

Now in hardcover... Bring It! BTW, how do you tell what your book number is?

A $100 bucks!

Man, I spent that on just purchasing my copies of the Rookie! I bought 10 copies of Contagious. Not to mention (sort of a oxymoron to use that statement) My copies of Infected, Earthcore & Ancestor! Oh and my infected T-shirt & Krakens jersey. I am scrimping too, but I gotta support my FDO!! [actual items may exceed or be less than stated as my inventory is (not verified)] Heheeeheehehee!

Sorry, I'm such an ass! Glad you were able to purchase some Sigler goodness!

I'm with you!

I have no clue how much we have sent to the FDO! I have lost track of how many copies of his books we have bought. We just keep giving them away to friends. Not to mention the jerseys and such too.

Ah...

I may have made a SNAFU then - Thanks MuchAdo and FDO for putting me straight on that one! It doesn't matter though - I don't speak German but I have been working with a German guy who deserves some goodness in his life. I will give it to him and keep spreading the word!

Buy two, sell one

Some jackass was selling EARTHCORE for $999 US last week, on Amazon.com. What the fak? Shoot, you guys should buy two, one to keep, one to pawn off on future Junkies who haven't received the Blessed Word yet. Yeah, that's the ticket ... not that I want you to buy extra ... no, not at all ...

The don't call me the Future Really Nice Guy Overlord, now do they?

All will mail at the same time

We'll be sending out a butt-load of books all at the same time, in like a 5-8 day span (autographing, packing and shiping 3,000 books is going to take a few man-hours). Hopeully you get them quick!

I think Sigler is pretty smart......

to do the pre-orders right after everyone gets their tax refunds!!!! Now we have the money. I'm not sure what I would have in September!

I have to agree with you

I think releasing The Rookie on draft day and tax refunds being abundant at this time and only for a short time makes a difference. But timing is everything. But the FDO already knew that, he knows everything! :)

Here's hoping for a single-digit copy!

Ordered my copy 15 minutes after it was available...hope it's a low-numbered copy! Just officially became a Junkie too! All hail the FDO!

Now I just hope that The Rookie Tailgate Tour comes somewhere near Utah, where I'll be doing grad school ...

How big of a Junkie am I?

Not only did I order multiple copies to send around to my friends to convert the masses but I used paypal. i HATE PAYPAL! (Pay pal is great, if your banking is done in the US, it sucks for those of us with our funds in Canada. I had to borrow an american card to make this purchase. Also, sadly had to wait three whole days to buy, not because of PayPal but because I was sans internet while dropping my husband off to go over seas (with copies of INFECTED in paperback to share with the other troops :)

Hate you Scott, but it's a good hate.

Now THAT is a thank-you

Nothing says "hey, thanks for defending our country" like a nice copy of INFECTED. Nice work!
