Volatalistic Phil's Newspaper Interview 4-24-12

In case you haven’t heard, I was recently interviewed by Jonathan Gamboa of the CNM Chronicle for my newest releases: Flash Fiction 40+1: New Mexican Bread Aisle and White Elephant. The CNM Chronicle previously interviewed me in November for the release of my Novel, My Mind’s Abyss. It is an amazing, truly amazing, wonderfully awesome opportunity. I am incredibly grateful to have been a feature in both issues of the CNM Chronicle. I hope to make my community proud, my school proud, my friends and family proud, and my readers proud. I don’t know what I can say that can express how grateful I am. I suppose I will just say “thank you,” though I don’t feel that it says much, but I want it to. A very special thanks to

Congratulations to the winners!

I’d like to congratulate the winners of my giveaway for White Elephant and Flash Fiction 40+1: New Mexican Bread Aisle (courtesy of Goodreads.com). I’d like to thank everyone for their interest and for taking the time to enter into the contest, the sort of digital cake walk that it is, but only no cake. I shipped all of the items out today, so if you’re one of the fortunate winners, expect your book very soon.

Oddly enough, a friend of mine, that lives in the same city, that I just had a math class with in this semester, that just ended–won a copy of White Elephant. And while he attributes that success to The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, and while that may be true, I still maintain that it is because I have the best readers. So thank you everyone, thank you for being the best readers that an author can have.

On a side note, I’m still making more progress with volume 2 of Flash Fiction 40+1 series and...

eBook giveaway on 05/05/12

A special thanks goes out to the two people in the USA and the one person in the UK that took advantage of my free eBook giveaway promotion on Amazon for White Elephant, yesterday. I’m happy to know that it wasn’t a complete waste. I’m also happy to see there are a few people that will take my work for free. I’m actually really grateful that you have given me the opportunity to entertain you with my writing.

LOL, this wasn’t a fail though, because even though it was only three people–this still makes it a WIN! Had it been nobody then it would have been a FAIL. So I am grateful for you three, and everyone who has allowed me the opportunity to entertain them with my writing. You are all hall of fame in my book.

Do you know she hangs her head in sorrow?
