Hey, ok, I know this is a bit fast and I didn't ask anybody before, but I had to do it....
So for the month of February, we all have to purchase and read a book that will probably be amazing!!

Here's the book:

Who Will Save Your World?

The world is being controlled by a shadowy group of individuals. The Earth is threatened, and it falls upon the shoulders of two people to give the planet a fighting chance for survival.

Professor Saber has developed a technology that gives the user superhuman abilities and powerful AIs that will guide the heroes. Seven enhancement suits are sent out. We follow the seventh to its recipient in Canada.

This is the story of two intelligences, one carbon, and the other silicon, who must learn to live together, work together and eventually love each other to save the planet from destruction by greed and deception.

What makes intelligence human? How do we define it? Is it the capacity to reason, to think, to imagine, create, or is it the capacity to learn and love?

Sometimes love can save the world.

About the author:

Griff Howe was born in the 60s, travelled in the 70s, served with the Canadian Army in the 80s, and held many careers in the 90s including film, television, theatre, comedy and tech. Griff has settled down to pursue writing and art. He currently lives alone with his two cats. Griff is also our friend and I'm sure this book will be great!


I know on facebook Griff told us the book was supposed to be released on Feb.15, but you can order it right now on amazon or probably from many other places too, so you should order it ASAP and then we'll decide when we start reading and discussing it... I just ordered it and according to amazon I should get it on feb 4 in the worst case so order your copy and let me know!!

Congratulation to Griffin for his first published book btw!

I think Griff will send it to you.  WE will work out a way for you to get it for sure.  He said he would sign copies for the Culties.

Hey wasn't he supposed to be posting the link to his direct site, so we could order from him so he could sign them? Or am I mistaken.. Or maybe I missed it... I have been flakey lately...

Yay for Griff!

And hello all!
It's been a while- have I missed much? Should I dedicate my day off tomorrow to reading back the past 4 weeks?

I'm down for a signed copy....that would rock.

You folks are all wonderful... I will order and send you signed copies but we have to get on this now before February sneaks up on us... I haven't got the order page built for my website yet but I figure we have time to do this even by international mail. So, The retail price of my book in the U.S. is 34.99... I will charge Can$40.00 for the signed, handled by me, covered with my DNA copies (not that way...dirty minds) plus shipping to be determined... Mailing address is 3-265 Strathmore Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M4J 1P7, to Griff Howe. Checks will have to clear before I can get the books out, money orders are good. Include your name, what you would like inscribed in the book, full shipping address and check or money order.. work it to about $45.00 Canadian to be on the safe side of shipping... I'll get them out as quickly as possible and you can all spread the gospel. I love all my Culty Friends!
Griff Howe....Stay Tuned!

Yes, I can do PayPal at my griff.howe@gmail.com account... so that's all good too. If you PayPal, make sure to send an email with shipping info and etc, ok?
Griff... when it absolutely positively has to get there overnight.

 That's the fun part of me getting anything from American continent - payPal and creditcards are things I'm never gonna have. OK, not never, but I'll have to wait five years :)
