Today is the first day of my three day book giveaway. This is the day to get Wild Concept free for 24 hours only.
Lisa Burton is a concept robot. Atlantic Robotics borrowed a page from Detroit and decided to make a showpiece robot. Lisa was designed to be as human as possible. She still has tons of whiz bang technology included though. This book explores prejudices from the point of view of the outsider. It still winds up being a science fiction adventure.
Here’s what people are saying:
“Boyack has a character that has no backstory. There is no history to Lisa Burton, but Boyack takes this thing and breathes a fascinating life into it.”
“Enjoy and see how Lisa develops, roar with laughter, cry, shake your head, whenever it suits you. Lisa Burton is my favourite (book) character of the year 2014.”
“Boyack used great imagination with Lisa’s development and her personality leaped out of the book to me.”
“This was a fun read and exciting adventure. It also offers some room for deep reflection on prejudice and what it means to be different. If you are looking for an entertaining read that will make you think about mankind’s journey beyond the natural, make you smile and make you cry, this is a neat little story to pick up.”
Give Wild Concept a chance today. It’s free for one day only, then it’s back to full price.

I’m glad the first comment ended with praise, but I was put off by anyone who thought a robot should have a backstory.

I think Sue was commenting on the difficulty of creating a character with no past. I never knew she picked up the book and was surprised to see the great review.

It would be difficult, absolutely. Shared this on Twitter, and now follow you. Good luck today!

Well I just HATE it that I finally take a moment to browse & comment, only to find a post announcing a freebie (I don’t want you to think that’s the reason).
I’m almost always scrambling for time and made up my mind that TODAY I’d visit my blogging friends regardless — to say Happy Belated Thanksgiving and Merry Whatever-Holiday(s)-You-Celebrate!
Congrats on all the great reviews — and for getting your book OUT THERE.
xx,

Question: Do you know if my Kindle has to be on and available to download or whether the download will it wait patiently until the Kindle is available? (Since my move, earlier this year, I haven’t been able to locate the darned thing, and I’m SURE it baldly needs a charge by now.) xx, mgh

I think it will wait patiently, but I’m not certain. You can get a free Kindle app for almost everything using the link on my sidebar.
No pressure though.

Cool, downloaded it from amazon.co.uk – it might take me a while to get to it as I have a few books lined up on my kindle from other bloggers, but I will get to it! Thanks 🙂
