Kelli Owen was kind enough to talk with me about some recent publishing news -- like 10 Reasons You Should Skip The Traditional Publishers and Self-Publish Ebooks Instead and half of self-published authors earn less than $500 and Stephen King's next novel will be paperback only. We'll also recap the Undead Press fiasco and what's happened since, like this ebook. Also, Kelli has a new ebook available called Six Days that you should check out -- oh, and there's even a chance to win a digital copy in the podcast. Enjoy!
Out With The Old, In With The New
So I've been meaning to get a new office chair. The one I have is pretty old and crappy, and quite honestly, not the best chair for someone like me who sits on his butt for hours on end procrastinating writing. See what I mean ...
Well, I stopped at OfficeMax today to get two manuscripts bound (the reason behind that is top secret at the moment), and while I was waiting I browsed the chairs and was pleasantly surprised to find that the one I'd had my eye on was on sale for, like, $70 bucks off. So yeah, I grabbed that sucker, and just put it together, and without a doubt it puts the old chair to shame.
Soft bonded leather. Adjustable lumbar. Memory foam.
Yeah, I'm procrastinating writing in luxury now!
Don't You Hate When This Happens?
I've talked about this before, yes, but it's always worth bringing back up. When searching for a cover image, you might find the best stock photo ever, but be careful -- others probably found it or will find it eventually. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, as long as the designer tweaks the image a bit, but still ...
Of course, I have no room to talk.
So yeah, don't you hate when this happens?
In Which I Read Chapter 5 Of The Inner Circle
Happy Friday, folks. I got you a present for this holiday weekend -- me reading chapter five from The Inner Circle. If you haven’t heard the previous chapters yet, you can do so here. Enjoy, and have a great extended weekend.
Dear UK Readers
CreateSpace has finally made it possible to sell directly through Amazon.co.uk. Which means that if you wanted to read any of my novels but don't have an ereader, you can now order from Amazon and the shipping won't be as crazy as if I were to ship them from my side of the pond. Though, of course, if you ever wanted a signed copy, email me and we'll figure something out. For now, you can see what titles are available here.
