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

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?

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

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

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.

Here is the final cover of Corruptor. Darkened and cropped, looks great. Tell me what you think.

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.

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!

So Peggey the Editor also picked up Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded by John Freakin' Scalzi the other day and I've been peeking in and reading snippets of it while it's been sitting on the kitchen table. As expected, it's a great collection of his blog entries since the Paleolithic Age. Really, he started … Continue reading Blogging Is Work

It's Election Day here in the United States and as usual, our sanity checks have been failed. I don't write about politics because, well, it really doesn't interest me. Not the running of our country or anything, no, that interests me plenty. It's the "debating" part and the "bipartisan" congress and politicians who don't interest … Continue reading Election Day… Call It ED2

I, uh, got carried away. The artist informed the publisher and I that what you think you saw was but a draft, a mere optical illusion. Nothing to see here, move along please. But for those of you who know me, you know where something may or may not be found in my pictures.
