With the release of Joe Micik’s new novel, 0.00: Tales of the Sober Kid at College, just weeks away, a new subdomain of joemicik.com specially designed for this book has been launched.

You may visit at 000.joemicik.com (note: there is no decimal point amongst the zeros as in the book’s title). On that page, you’ll find a more detailed synopsis, major character sketches, and an excerpt (coming soon). After the June 6 release, purchasing links and more will be available.

Stop by today!

Joe Micik is announcing a new contest for his June 6 novel release, 0.00: Tales of the Sober Kid at College!

The contest: Guess the exact word count of the novel. The person who comes the closest will get a free copy after it has been released, in whatever format you choose (physical or digital). If the winning guess is within 50 words of the actual in either direction, they will also get two free Joe Micik short stories of their choice from Smashwords.

Additional info: Final copy will be between 102,000 and 105,000 words, to help you narrow your responses. This final count does NOT include front matter or anything outside of actual book text; it will also not include phrases like “Chapter 1,” “Chapter 2,” etc.

Rules: One guess per e-mail address. Contest ends on June 6, 2012 at 12:00am Eastern. You will only be asked for additional contact information if you win AND want a physical copy of the book.

To enter: Send an e-mail by clicking the green e-mail box at the top of the page, next to the search bar, and include the word “contest” somewhere in your subject line. Knowing just your first name (and your guess, of course) would be sufficient!

Good luck!

Joe is pleased to announce the launch of a page dedicated to the launch of his new novel, 0.00: Tales of the Sober Kid at College. Feel free to browse and learn more about this young adult book, which is tentatively scheduled for a June 6, 2012 release.
