Oh man, I was thinking last night (hide the children!!!) about some scenes I really have problems writing. Situations, relationships, etc... I just have difficulties pulling off a believable scene sometimes. This was an entirely random thought I had while I was playing Civilization V and resisting the political overtures of Catherine the Great (she … Continue reading Does Biology Matter?

Brief comment for the day. Well, two. First off, received word that Corruptor will be available via Kindle next week. This is excellent news for those who were looking to purchase the ebook instead of shelling out the $19.95 for the dead-tree version. I'm all in favor of more people buying the ebook, personally. One, … Continue reading Kindle and News Update

Apparently some people who have purchased Corruptor from various online vendors have received emails that shipment will be delayed at least one month, until the end of December. This is a great way to kill a new author, guys. Really. This is unacceptable. Has anyone besides Allan received this email? I know a few people … Continue reading Train Wreck?

PublishAmerica, a blood-sucking, child beating, scum sucking organization which pretends to be a publisher, is suckering their 40K+ authors into paying them to enter their manuscripts into Amazon's FREE contests. *facepalm* Remember kiddies... money flows towards the author, not away. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something and not buy your … Continue reading War Rages On

So the first few copies of the book were mailed out to readers both eager and not. I feel bad, though, because some of them just wanted generic "Jason Cordova" signatures, meaning I should check ebay next week to see if the book is up there and for sale. Actually, I find it kind of … Continue reading Today Is The Day!!!

Got the books in the mail today. Who wanted one?

Tomorrow is a big day for me. If you follow this blog, then you know what tomorrow is as well. Tomorrow is the release of Corruptor, after a long, long wait. I know some books have been pre-ordered (it's easy to track sales on B&N.com and Amazon), so that's exciting to say the least. I'm … Continue reading Book Out Tomorrow!

Reading is a good thing usually... until one is an author who looks at other people's books and then wonders just how their book can even begin to stand up against the likes of "good" authors. It's depressing, reading someone else's work and then realizing that you aren't as good. Well, for me at least. … Continue reading Alone or With Help?

I haven't been lazy, I swear. I've been writing... and it's hunting season, so I've been out trying to get Bambi. ...that deer is mocking me. Literally. Yesterday all I could see was Bambi's butt and you can't shoot that. You can only hope to get him next time. Approved the final proof for Corruptor … Continue reading A Cookie Often?

...is available at amazon.com finally. Had a thought just now... how did they get 117,000 words into a 300 page book?

Yesterday I was driving and I checked my review mirror (like I do every five to ten seconds) and spotted a very impatient seeming woman tailgating me. Instead of doing what I normally would do (slam on the brakes to see if they're awake and to let them know that although I have a nice butt, she … Continue reading Flaws While Driving
