Book Release Party!

We will be having the official Mosquito Song release party Tuesday, November 1st at the Medici from 7pm-9pm. 

I will (hopefully) have a limited number of books for sale then and there. I will do a reading (chapter to be determined) and there will be a few things to gromp on. 

Wait a tick… Chrome doesn't recognize "gromp" as a word? Are my wife and I the only people who use gromp, gromps and the phrase to gromp on? 

Also, Tiny Toe Press founder, Herocious, will be on the radio in about 3 hours...

Hey Kids, I did another interview.

Check it out over at Snark and Fury




The Mosquito Song is different from other vampire stories in that it is completely bereft of supernatural elements. Other vampire stories try this thing, but usually give some half assed exposition about viruses without really understanding how these things work. They say their vampires aren't magical, but the vampires still explode quite easily.

New pages to promote:

We're on Goodreads!



We are also on Barnes and Noble!



Throw up some reviews if you have memberships on those things and have read the book and enjoy writing reviews and have working fingers. 



Or even one of those things that lets you type with your tongue or eyeballs.

We've cracked the top 100,000

Currently, the kindle version of The Mosquito Song is up to 86,000 on the kindle rankings. That is about the top ten percent of all kindle books on Amazon. 



Since I only know 3 people with kindles, that might not mean much.
