Beyond the Beyond Sale

Stand_beyond As I mentioned here before, I've got hundreds of copies of my book BEYOND THE BEYOND that I need to unload to create room in my garage for my Mom's stuff. In the last few days, I've donated books to the New Orleans Public Library as well as Better World Books, among others. But I still have plenty left.

I'll be glad to send you a signed copy for $9.99, which includes media mail postage to anywhere in the United States. 

BEYOND THE BEYOND is about ex-cop Charlie Willis, who handles “special security” for Pinnacle Pictures. His job: to protect the studio and its stars, to stop scandals before they explode, to the keep the peace in the land of make-believe. How he does it is up to him. In this book, a sequel to “My Gun Has Bullets,” he has to protect the president of a fledgling TV network from an assassin, an A-list screenwriter from his homicidal agent, and the cast of a cult TV series from its legion of rabid, homicidal fans.

Here's a sampling of the critical praise for the book:

“Goldberg uses just about everything he can think of to send up the studio system, fandom, Star Trek, Trekkies, agents, actors… you name it, he’ll make you laugh about it.” Analog

"An outrageously entertaining take on the loathsome folkways of contemporary showbiz,"Kirkus Reviews

“Mr. Goldberg has an observant eye and a wicked pen!” Washington  Times

Beyond the Beyond reads like a modern-day Alice in Wonderland set against the venal world of the TV industry. It’s wonderfully revealing and uncannily accurate,” Vancouver Sun

"Stingingly funny! B+" Entertainment Weekly

"Some of the easily recognizable actors, agents and producers who are mercilessly ribbed may find it hard to crack a smile at the author's gag-strewn prose. Likewise those seekers after politically correct entertainment. But the rest of us should have no trouble….the novel's satiric slant is strong enough to have an effigy of Goldberg beamed into outer space at the next Star Trek convention," Los Angeles Times

And yet, there were still 600 copies that didn't sell. Even with a giant penis on the cover. Can you imagine that? If you'd like to buy one of them for $9.99,  just click on the button below:

Makes me wish I hadn't paid for price for it about a year back. :)

Snagged one. What a deal!

Folks, it's good, it's funny, and, curiously for Lee, it's got some scathingly negative things to say about fanfic.

Scathingly negative?

And Mr. Goldberg has been such a supporter of fanfic, how odd.

You should have seen his reaction to my Godzilla Power Hour-Kolchak the Night Stalker-Dirty Harry crossover fanfic!

Are you kidding? I Loved it, Chad. I've ripped it off for my next MONK.

that's interesting :)..
