Why You Should Buy Rabbit in the Road: AKA Kayhynn's Plea/Rant

This article is separate from the review for a number of reasons, but mainly because it has nothing to do with the review, but more a rant/plea to encourage you to buy the book.

For most of you, $2.99 isn't much.  You can sacrifice a Starbucks Coffee or cheap sandwich at a fast food restaurant.  Could probably even scrape it together from your change collector (if not more than that).  Every sale helps Oliver get a much needed procedure done.

See, American Healthcare simply put, sucks.  If you are uninsured or under insured, no matter the reason, the quality of health care you receive is poor.  If you have bad insurance, you make monthly payments for ever.  If you have no insurance, you either have to have the money up front to pay for it, or agree to monthly payments.

Now, I know how much healthcare sucks, but for Oliver, it's worse, mainly because he has no insurance and because he's an African American male.  For some reason, healthcare is not helping him out at all.  See, he went to the dentist this week and an xray showed he had a tumor in his face. The location of the tumor is such, it could grow into his brain and kill him.  Problem is, he can't afford the procedures needed to help find out what is wrong and how to fix it.

He's not looking for a handout, he's looking for folks to buy his book to help him out.

Read his blog and the video about it here: http://betweenhimandher.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/memento-mori-im-terrified-because-i-might-have-a-tumor-in-my-head/

Give up your latte, your expensive coffee, whatever and buy the ebook to help him out.  Who knows, you could help save his life.

The Rabbit Has Fled

Earlier this month I talked about Rabbit in the Road and how it was on sale.  Sadly, Amazon decided that they didn't care that the book was on sale for a short period of time only.  No.  They decide (and apparently the fine print says this too) that they can charge whatever they think the customer will pay for your e-book if you publish it through them in their system.

You read that right.

Check out the article about them pulling their book from Amazon here:  http://betweenhimandher.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/and-then-the-rabbit-fled/

I'll be honest, hearing this, reading the fine print is what pushed me from the Kindle Fire I was considering to the Nook.  I'm not gonna financially support a company that doesn't support it's customers and vendors.

Rabbit in the Road: On Sale Now

My buddy Oliver, who co-wrote Rabbit in the Road with his wife to be Danika, is turning 30.  In celebration of this momentous event, he's knocked down the price of his e-book.  He had the following to say on their blog regarding the sale:

Therefore due to the nature of the shopping season and because every single penny counts, for the next 30 days, Rabbit in the Road on BOTH Barnes & Noble  and Amazon is dropping down to a smooth 99 cents. The discounts are live as of RIGHT NOW!


Cheaper than a double cheeseburger at McDonald’s. Cheaper than a cup of coffee. I think the value is there.  Why are we dropping the price that low? Because the money isn’t important. READING is important. I’d rather have you read cheaply as opposed to having to ponder on a  cash spending decision. And I can tell you, without ego, that this 99 cents worth of pocket change is worth your time. If you’ve been on the fence about trying us, this would be an excellent opportunity to take advantage.

So, to help make his birthday better, I'm spreading the word.  The book can be purchased via links below at Amazon and at Barnes and Noble.
