A few months ago, I changed my Twitter bio from “indie fantasy/steampunk author” to “full-time indie fantasy/steampunk author.” Apparently a couple of people actually read that Twitter bio, because I’ve had questions about it.
–You really earn a living from your ebooks?
–How many books do you have to write to do that?
–Are you a bestseller?
–If not, how many do you have to sell?
–How do I sell that...

'Adopt an Indie' month: November 2011
date:
November 01, 2011 09:00AM
location: The United States description: Many people feel there is still a stigma surrounding self-published/small-press books but how many readers actually mind where the book is coming from? This experience is about bringing authors, readers and book bloggers together to dispel some of the indie myths and show that if you’re missing indie, you’re missing out. What will people get? **Readers will be able to talk to published authors and learn about their experiences **Authors will be able to find out what really matters to readers and if...more |

is 25% done with The Floor of Heaven: I'm not getting through this one very quickly, but it's definitely interesting. The real life characters from this time period are more interesting than what you find in most fiction, heh.

“Sicarius had the personality of a particularly bland, pointy stick.”

“Waiting for the right people isn't going to get us where we want; we need to go out and find..." She groped for the right word. A mission? A project? A job?
"Trouble?" Sicarius suggested.
"An endeavor that will help the city and prove to the emperor that we're undeserving of the bounties on our heads and we're invaluable resources to his regime."
"Trouble," Sicarius said.”

Thanks for the note, John! I read the first...eight or nine Black Company books years ago and noticed Cook had a couple more out since then, so I'm going to grab them when I get a chance. ;) I especially liked the first three with Croaker's dry humor.
