There's something about that damned Wikipedia that gets my blood boiling at times... The original stated purpose of Wikipedia was this: Our goal with Wikipedia is to create a free encyclopedia; indeed, the largest encyclopedia in history, both in terms of breadth and in terms of depth. We also want Wikipedia to be a reliable … Continue reading Wahhrrgarrbel!

Off Target and Tangent
So I was wildly offbase with my Pottermore guess. It's looking to be some sort of real-life treasure hunt mixed with an MMORPG or... something. So basically, Sony, Warner Bros and JK Rowling are trying to get LARPers and WoW gamers to get outside and... game? Odd. But, in a strangely unrelated coincidence, Rowling's camp … Continue reading Off Target and Tangent
Book Signage Party Time
So the big book signing at Barnes&Noble went well, despite it getting off to an inauspicious start. Apparently, I wasn't added to their events calendar, so not many people outside of those I've informed (which is quite a few people, but still) got the word in time. Still, sold four times the amount of books … Continue reading Book Signage Party Time
Pottermore?
Someone asked me yesterday "What is Pottermore"? To which I replied "Potter-what?" It's amazing that, as people are predicting the death of print books and such, one person can come along and change the entire game once more. J.K. Rowling didn't announce anything, just simply created a website called "Pottermore" with the words "Coming Soon" … Continue reading Pottermore?
Write What You Know? I SCOFF At Thee!
I wonder if my dad got his birthday card yet? I'm horrible at remembering date. I have this massive calendar up on the wall which shows every single appointment and schedule I have for the next few months, and yet I didn't mail off my dad's birthday card until the day of (partially because I'm … Continue reading Write What You Know? I SCOFF At Thee!
Distracting Gator Ruined the Link
I guess I should have put up a link yesterday for the Lawyers in Hell pre-order. My bad, that damned gator was distracting. Amazon Pre-Order Link
Yippee!
Busy weekend, and this week isn't getting any easier. The brother of one of the guys at work was in a car crash and the coworker had to take off, which means a lot of shifts had to be covered. Enter SuperJason, with his amazing ability to fill in the gaps. I picked up about … Continue reading Yippee!
Book Signing Next Weekend
So that author signing at Barnes & Noble, the one I had to cancel due to a conflict? Well, it's back on. Yay! People will come and buy my book! June 18th, 3-7pm at the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, VA. Egads! People are going to ask hard questions. The odd thing about signings is … Continue reading Book Signing Next Weekend
On Sale, Cheap!
Right now, this very instance, for the next week or so, if you click this link you will discover that Amazon is currently offering my debut novel for a mere $2.99 as an ebook. This is the perfect time to buy it before it goes back up to $6.50.
In Control
There's control, and then there's control. Sarah Hoyt talks about being a very specific type of control freak, which made me wonder: am I a control freak? I mean, there's the usual "I have to be in charge and all shall bow before me!" type of control freak that most people picture in their mind … Continue reading In Control
Go Jason, It’s Your Birthday!
Happy Birthday to me! Wow, I'm getting old. In life, I'd be approaching middle aged (I think it starts around 35, not sure) and would start to have all these "crises". However, as a writer I'm barely an infant. No, really. Most authors who are "established" in their craft are typically in their late forties and … Continue reading Go Jason, It’s Your Birthday!
So Far, So Good
Okay, so the first day of work yesterday was interesting. I've never done a coffee tasting (and eaten a pastry) before starting my day, so this was a new experience. After that, it was a long time watching training videos and whatnot before I went home and crashed. So far, all my coworkers are really … Continue reading So Far, So Good
You Have Great Patience.
I survived the move. First day of work is tomorrow. I will update on Monday evenings (posts will now be going up online at night until hours are worked out with work). Thanks for the patience.
Angry Birds
Filed in the "That Was Weird" department... I decided, after looking at the grass sway gently in the breeze, that it was past time to mow. I was reluctant, however. It was hot, really damned hot, and muggy as well. I decided "The hell with it. I need to mow" and, after a brief consultation … Continue reading Angry Birds
Alles in Ordnung!
Having fun bastardizing the brief "Mission from Hell" from the old first draft of Vindicator into something far more fun and usable. I forgot just how crazy that chapter was. Still, it's always fun when you can call someone "Princess" and not be a derogatory term. Books are packed. Boo. Hard to read if books are packed. Alles … Continue reading Alles in Ordnung!
