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
Ball State Football Thoughts
Non-writing stuff right now. Feel free to ignore if you don't like college football. For the record, my alma mater will not "go bowling" again this year. I must firmly accept that 2008 was an aberration and will (more than likely) never happen again, at least not while I'm still alive. So what happened? Well, a multitude … Continue reading Ball State Football Thoughts
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…
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
