Wiki, Wiki, What?
Can you believe it was a year ago that I set out on this wacky writing endeavor of mine? A whole year. Seems simultaneously eternal and brief, somehow.
During that time I've done some silly promotional stunts. I've unveiled a proof copy live via webcam. I did a hunt-and-seek giveaway over three websites. I even enlisted [...:]

Molly Fyde and the Blood of Billions
Here's the first take:
Dig the theme? Each of the first four covers are going to feature hands and feet! No, it isn't a fetish of mine, just a cool way to keep my wife's lovely parts on the covers.
Here's a potential spread (front and back) that's just missing the rear text:

Absolute Genius
Gizmodo just posted a perfect mash-up. One of my favorite videos of all time recreated with one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Sabotage meets Battlestar Gallactica.
Okay, well and good. But it isn't until you watch them side-by-side that you begin to appreciate what they were able to accomplish. Now, don't ruin it [...:]

Feel like you don't have enough time?
Guess what? You have even less of it now. Blame Chile.
After that 8.8 quake last week, the 8th most powerful quake on record (which doesn't mean much, considering we haven't been around that long), our days are now a little over a millisecond shorter than they used to be. That might not sound like much, [...:]

For those of you too far away to attend, it was a cool scene. The bar had drink specials named after parts of [...:]

All Amazon reviews don't need to be this awesome…
…but don't let that stop you from trying.
The eighth review for MOLLY FYDE AND THE LAND OF LIGHT went up today on Amazon. It is another blush-inducer (and it makes certain other parts of me pucker as I attempt to make book three half as good as the first two). Keep in mind that you [...:]
