A crazed sasquatch.

And a burial mound with deep secrets.

Brian, an avid hiker, goes far off the trail and stumbles on sasquatch footprints in the mud. It’s the discovery of a lifetime—but it’s only the beginning. The footprints lead him to a massive Native earthwork that isn’t on any map. As a grad student in archaeology, Brian can’t keep this discovery to himself. He tells his professor, Dr. Jarlathus—and that’s when things get weird. Dr. Jarlathus tells him not to go back to the site but rather focus on his thesis.

Utter nonsense, of course. What could be more important to archaeology than the discovery of an unknown Native mound? Brian goes back—and nearly gets killed by a huge, sasquatch-like creature that looks uncannily like Dr. Jarlathus. Brian will have to decide just how much this investigation matters to him—and how much he’s willing to put himself and his wife Jenny at risk. But nothing can prepare him for the truth about the creature and the burial mound.

The Grassman Terror - paperback book on a standWhy is it free?

Great question.

For my next book, I’m honored to be represented by one of the best literary agents in fantasy. She represents New York Times bestsellers, and she’s working with major publishers right now to secure a great book deal. Which means my next book is coming soon to a bookstore near you.

That’s why I’m giving this book away for free. It’s my way of inviting you to explore my work.

What’s the catch?

In lieu of paying for this, you’ll be subscribed to my email newsletter by filling out the form.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll get some onboarding emails from me. You’ll learn a little more about me, my cat, and my writing. If you stick around, you’ll get my email newsletter, which comes out every two weeks.

Down the road, you’ll get updates about new novels—like the book that’s on editors’ desks right now at major fantasy publishers.

Can anyone get a free copy?

This offer is available to new email subscribers.

Unfortunately, my audience is growing so much that I can’t afford to give away copies to existing subscribers.

BUT! Anyone can purchase a signed, discounted copy directly from me.

The book is also available for purchase on Amazon (not signed, of course):

Are you really signing every book?

The Grassman Terror by Leo Vaughn - signed copyYou bet!

This is my way of saying Thank You.

I’ll personally sign and inscribe the book on the title page. It’ll look like the book in the picture, but with a personalized message added as well.

I really love offering this. We’re all inundated with too much digital noise. Offering a print book is one way I can fight the erosion of value in a media culture that’s increasingly saturated with AI slop.

Oh, by the way, this book is 100% AI-free. I did it all myself, including the artwork and design.

So yes, I’m signing each and every book.

It’s my way of saying, Hey, physical objects and real connections still matter.

Can I request a free book and leave a tip?

Absolutely!

After you fill out the form, you’ll see a link to my Buy Me a Coffee page. You can leave a tip there if you want.

It’s absolutely not required, though. It’s my pleasure to mail out your signed, personally inscribed copy for free.
