Yesterday I talked about sales numbers versus royalty rates. It was educational for me writing it, because in researching it I realized that I absorbed good info from various authors over the past five years. But then I started thinking more about the sales of Amazon and the pricing of it, mainly due to a … Continue reading Amazon Pricing and Selling

My dad got his copy of Corruptor today in the mail. I hadn't told him in advance that the book was dedicated to him. I think he liked it. Christmas came early for me. 🙂

Someone asked me not too long ago about where to buy my book from so I would get the bigger royalties. Well, outside of buying it directly from me (yes, I still have a few copies left) there's Amazon, B&N, Borders, various ebook stores, etc. But royalty rates vary depending on where you buy the … Continue reading Rollin’ Dirty

...there are a ton of school book fairs going on around the country this week for multiple schools. And if you can't decide whether or not to buy your teenager the latest Warcraft expansion (a pox on your house if you don't...), you can always pick up a copy of Corruptor from B&N, Borders and … Continue reading Also In The News…

So with the wind chill right now, the temperature is 12F. The hell...? Look, I moved away from Colorado so I wouldn't have to deal with winters like this anymore. I do not miss the freezing cold winds or the snow that won't melt. I guess I didn't go far enough south. Cuba, here I come... … Continue reading Maybe the Cold?

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!
