There's something new on the site…
The first person that finds it, and leaves a comment with a link to the new item, gets the prologue for book two emailed to them.
Good luck!

Review of Molly Fyde on Luke Reviews
I promised myself I wouldn't look. It's like driving down the highway, in a major traffic-jam, and promising you won't rubber-neck. I'll have my wife read them first, inoculating me against the negative. I'll wait to hear from someone else.
Impossible. Even though I know it might be a grisly sight, I can't turn away. This [...:]

In case you missed it…
The fine folks at WIXE 1190 AM in Union County, North Carolina put on a good show. (Maybe not so much when they have science fiction authors on the program, but overall the production level is quite high.) I really appreciate them having me, and hope they'll see fit to indulge me when my next [...:]

Amazon review of the week
This week's review is a 4-star one from Mark, who is a voracious and discerning reader. I've been eagerly anticipating his opinion of the book and was quite pleased to hear what he came up with.

On the run…
I've had a few problems since the book came out, problems that are keeping me on the run. Some parties, it seems, do not want this story told. I can't tell you where I am now, but I would like to thank the people that were brave enough to shelter me in Monroe, NC and [...:]

So, like…go comment. Or something.

When it transforms into "a" book.
It takes handling approximately 128 copies of your own book before you start to handle it as a "book." Before then, it is a jewel-encrusted and fragile thing.

How bookstores have changed (for me).
I spent an hour in Barnes and Noble today, and it felt…different. Almost like my first time. To see so many books — each with their striking covers and unique stories or genres — I felt, well not overwhelmed for myself, but for the system.
For all those authors, publishers, agents, and editors. For the grueling [...:]

Amazon review of the week
I'd love to have so many reviews come in that I can feature one each week. And I hope they're all as glowing as this one from Wade:
What Howey has done here is create a story so complex in nature, yet so well-contained that it is enjoyable on many levels. This feeling echoes throughout the [...:]

And two for the library
I headed out to my old highschool on Wednesday, not even sure if I remembered how to get there. I probably haven't driven that path in sixteen years.
