A Landsquid-y September
A Landsquid-y September #amwriting
There’s been a distinct lack of landsquid on the blog lately, so here’s a landsquid on a laptop. I am very pleased to see the end of September here. It’s been a pretty draining month, aside from Iceland at the very beginning. But it’s almost over! Hooray! Here’s what’s ahead for October: I’m doing a Christmas concert/play thing. It’s called “Christmas on Broadway” and is a collection of…

Cover Reveal: The Short of It #amwriting
Today, Squiders, I am pleased to reveal the cover for my short story collection The Short of It: Speculative Short Stories which will be released on February 8th. (Let me tell you how many times I have typoed that as “Shirt of It.” It is a lot.) The collection includes four previously published short stories from 2011-2013, as well as one new one. As I previously mentioned, I’m going to release…

Long Tour Aftermath (and a shark)
Long Tour Aftermath (and a shark) #amwriting
Happy October, Squiders! Though the leaves have not turned and today is the first real autumn-y day of the year. Get on it, autumn. Anyway. Siri’s and my long blog tour for City of Hope and Ruin has come to an end, and now I can comment on it and whether or not I felt like it was worth the time and money. Just to recap, we bought a multi-month tour, which ran from July 14 to Sept 29, and each…

The Evolution of a Book Description
The Evolution of a Book Description #amwriting
We talked in May and June about an older novel of mine, Shards, which came out in December of 2013, and how I suspected my book description for it was doing a terrible job of selling it due to a mismatch between the description and the actual contents of the book. And then we talked about how long it was actually taking me to re-write the description. But I am pleased to say that I am done, I…

Revisiting Published Stories
Revisiting Published Stories #amwriting
Morning, Squiders. I hope you all had a lovely long weekend (for American Squiders), or that you at least didn’t get stung by a bee and fall down the stairs like some other people I know. In slightly related news, how do you tell if you are allergic to bee stings? Anyway, on to the topic at hand. There seems to be two camps when talking about books you’ve published. One camp says leave ’em…

City of Hope and Ruin is out! And Miscellany. #books #amwriting
Happy Thursday, Squiders! I think I’ve overloaded my desktop refreshing everything to stalk the book release, so I’ve had to retreat to my laptop. Very classy. City of Hope and Ruin is out in the world! And so far, so good. We’ve already got a 5-star review on Amazon, and two on Goodreads! The Amazon and one of the Goodreads ones is from another author I look up to greatly, so I’m pretty tickled.…
