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!!!
Blog Update
Books Arrived!
Got the books in the mail today. Who wanted one?
Book Out Tomorrow!
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!
RIP John Steakley
John Steakley, author of the highly influential SF book Armor, passes away yesterday. He had been having health problems for awhile, and I guess all those years of fast living and good times finally caught up with the man. Another great one lost... I talked about John's influence on me here or, more important, how … Continue reading RIP John Steakley
Happy Turkeyfest and Black Friday
First off, it appears that the 32% off discount at Barnes & Noble has disappeared. That blows, because if you didn't order it at the absurdly discounted price before then you lost out on saving some money. I'm sorry for that, but I don't set the prices. If I had things my way, that book … Continue reading Happy Turkeyfest and Black Friday
Alone or With Help?
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?
Brief Moment of Your Time
Sorry about the random theme changes. I'm playing around with some different ideas and trying to find one that I really like. Unfortunately, my options are a little limited. But that's not entirely a bad thing, given my habit of making things so drastic that I don't even recognize things anymore. Still working on the … Continue reading Brief Moment of Your Time
A Cookie Often?
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?
Corruptor…
...is available at amazon.com finally. Had a thought just now... how did they get 117,000 words into a 300 page book?
Flaws While Driving
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
Round One… Ready? Fight!
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…
