So this whole "Facebook vs Gmail" buzz, to me, is very amusing. In retrospect, I should have seen something like this coming from Facebook. It is, after all, the great Satan that over 500 million people pay homage to (take note, religious start-ups). But I've been mulling the thought of a Facebook supported email service … Continue reading Round One… Ready? Fight!

Deer Season! Wabbit Season!
I was sitting up in the tree stand yesterday, a .30-30 rifle cradled in my arms and was scanning the fields for deer when I suddenly had a thought: "Man, this is definitely something that Nick would do." Nick, in case you don't know, is the main character of Corruptor's sequel, Obliterator. Yes, Tori's still … Continue reading Deer Season! Wabbit Season!
Received Corruptor Today
Received the print proof of Corruptor today, woot! It looks pretty good too. Should pop when it's sitting on the bookshelves.
Birthday News
Corruptor's hanging tough around the same spot as yesterday. I is happy. Happy Birthday to Peggey the Editor. It's a shame you have to work today. There are a lot of birthdays coming up, including a big one next Thursday. A BIG one, and not mine. Why are there so many Scorpios in my world???
Veteran’s Day and Me…
warning: strong language alert There are rants, and then there is a rant. Fasten your seatbelt kiddies, for you are about to be bombarded with one hell of a rant. Oh, and that promise I made about staying away from politics? Uh, sorry... For the record: I am a vet. I didn't necessarily enjoy my … Continue reading Veteran’s Day and Me…
Quick News Update
Ack! It's now #94,604 over at B&N!!! Okay, that just means I sold a few more copies. You don't start to freak until you're into the four digit realm. But still... Thanks guys, you're starting to make me blush over here. That's not a pretty sight either. EDIT: At 6:15pm this evening, the cover went … Continue reading Quick News Update
Giddyness?
Everything you heard about writers is true. We hover over at Amazon and B&N, watching and waiting to see if our books go up or down in sales. We guide ourselves away, chiding our inner impatient child for checking for the 5th time in ten minutes. It can make for some unhappy writers. Five minutes … Continue reading Giddyness?
Rights and Reality
I wonder at just how odd it seems that many authors are more than willing to accept the status quo when it comes to dealing with publishing houses. Many authors seem to be ignoring their digital rights regarding their books in the quest to see the book on the shelf at Barnes & Noble or … Continue reading Rights and Reality
Monday Will Never Be Tamed
I got caught up in a big debate with myself this morning. I was arguing with myself about the pros and cons of going through a small press publisher while on my way home when I realized that I was doing two things I loathe to do. Doubt myself Argue with myself in traffic When … Continue reading Monday Will Never Be Tamed
Sales Rankings and Blatant Pimping Of The Book
So right now, Barnes & Noble.com has Corruptor at #166,515. Considering this is for the preorders, I'm not too upset. However, it's 33% off the cover price right now so I figure it's a great deal to do your preordering right now. Have you ordered your copy yet? It'll make me feel better. I promise.
Final Cover
Here is the final cover of Corruptor. Darkened and cropped, looks great. Tell me what you think.
I Love Mornings
The only vampires that are going to sparkle in this one are those that are doused with liquid nitrogen and then left out in the morning sun.
Update and Remembrance
For those poor, unfortunate souls who have this page bookmarked, you may notice that there is a slight change now whenever you look it up. I have (finally) registered jasoncordova.com. Makes it a lot easier to search for me, right? In unrelated news, I just received news that a friend of mine, Michael Caliban, passed … Continue reading Update and Remembrance
The Cost of Ease
Is it worth the cost? That's the question I'm asking myself today. WordPress has been a wonderful hosting place for me, and I love a lot of their features. Much better than the ad-ridden Tripod and some of the other hosting places I've tried over the years. But now I'm in the process of updating … Continue reading The Cost of Ease
Buy My Book and God Will Save A Kitten!
You can now purchase Corruptor here from B&N. Well, pre-order the print version at least. This has made me all ticklish and excited. My only problem? Why doesn't Amazon have it for sale yet if B&N does? Bad Amazon, no cookies for you. Oh, and it's still for sale as an e-book here. The complete … Continue reading Buy My Book and God Will Save A Kitten!
