WHEEEEE.

Know Anyone Who Would Like to Join the "Sidewalk" Team for My New Book?! :D

I've never really liked street teams. I feel like they put a lot of pressure on the individuals in question to like the book. I also feel like they can create a really hostile and toxic environment sometimes that results in honest (but negative) reviewers getting "punished" on behalf of the author.

I don't want that.

So here's the thing. I'm starting a "Sidewalk" Team for my new book coming out next week. It's called the Sidewalk Team because I don't want my readers getting hit by a figurative mack truck. The sidewalk is a safe place to be, and I want reviewers to feel like they can be honest (and safe) when they review my books. Hence the name.

So! If you are a blogger who is interested in my Shadow Thane series, or know a blogger who might be, let me know! I'll give you a free copy of BLACK BEAST and then, on the day I release it, a free copy of TOUCHED WITH SIGHT. If you hate BLACK BEAST, you can opt out of my Sidewalk Team and I won't feel insulted. You tried something new and that's all I ask.

What do you guys say? :D

Endgame Broke 100 Ratings!! Also, I FINISHED WRITING TOUCHED WITH SIGHT!!!

I'm so excited about Endgame because it's probably one of my favorite books, although I know a lot of people don't like it because it's trippy science fiction. :3

Also, I JUST FINISHED WRITING the sequel to BLACK BEAST! Like, I just put the last period in it about an hour ago and then my beta sent me the corrections.

My goal is to have it published and ready for purchase by July 25. I want to rewrite the whole thing one more time just to make sure it flows smoothly, because it was cobbled together from like five different drafts.

Anyway, today was an awesome day. :D

Also, I have a giveaway for three of my books!!!! (And an interview with Inge!)

Cloak and Dagger Broke 700 Ratings!

What a lovely thing to come home to after running errands all day.

Thank you so much for reading my books. <3

My Book Haul: Or, Why I Should Not Be Allowed in Used Bookstores

I went a little crazy today... >_>

So the million dollar question is, WHAT DO I READ FIRST?!?!?!

Vote now!

FAQ Attack!

Authors get a lot of questions! So here are some I've been answering a lot lately, just in case you were wondering, too!

I can't find Terrorscape on Amazon--where can I get a copy?

Terrorscape can no longer be purchased on Amazon because it was banned from the site in November 2013. You can buy it from Smashwords here.

Are your books available in paperback?

Some of them are. Fearscape, Horrorscape, Cloak and Dagger, Armed and Dangerous, Endgame, Wishing Stars, and How to Write Good are all available in paperback from Createspace.

However, because indie paperbacks have such a high production cost (they are made to order, not in bulk like mass-market paperbacks), I made next to nothing from these sales. (Sometimes actually nothing.) Because of this, my later books are not available through this channel. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. (Really!)

I am a blogger and would like to review your book--can I have a free copy?

Maybe!

It really depends on a lot of factors. Like, if I have an active giveaway (or am planning an active giveaway) I don't give out ARCs because it wouldn't be fair to the people who entered in the contest.

Also, I've had some issues with people distributing my content illegally, which has, unfortunately, forced me to be more discerning. And DMCA takedown notices are not fun to fill out.

If you are a reviewing blog of good repute, or I know you well as a person, I am probably going to be more likely to give you a copy, if only because then I know you probably aren't going to be posting my work on Scribd under a fake name (true story).

Can I have a free paperback copy?

Sorry, but no. I don't own any hard copies of my own books! Indie authors don't receive any hard copies to give out because, again, the manufacturing cost is just too high.

Would you be willing to do an interview with me?

Always! I've done interviews with all sorts of people--school papers, The Washington Post, small reviewing blogs, big reviewing blogs, etc. I like meeting with people and talking books. It's pretty much the best thing ever.

I would like to be your friend, but I plan on reading one of your books and I'm afraid I won't like it.

That's okay! Even if you don't like my book, I would still love to be your friend. Please don't feel intimidated!

Will I ever see you at a book signing?

Maybe in the future! ;)

Why do you write negative reviews of other authors' books?

Same reason you do. Because I didn't like them.

Will you review mine?

Maybe! It depends on whether it's a genre I'm interested in, and how overwhelmed I'm feeling as a reviewer at the moment. I have waaaaay too many books. If I do review your book, please don't feel offended if I don't like it. I am very picky.

I also do author (and reviewer) interviews on my blog. If I like your work, either as an author or as a reviewer, there's a good chance I'll ask you if you'd be interested!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me on Facebook or make use of the Ask the Author tool on my Goodreads profile!
