Me, Elsewhere: First Half of July, 2013
I’m gradually ramping up the amount and frequency of intentional and directed promotion efforts on behalf of Pilgrimage — A Novel of the Sovereign Era, The Charters Duology, and Walk Like A Stranger: Passing Through Home. Periodically, I’ll post updates here so, if you like, you can go and listen to the interview, read the review, and so on.
Guest Blog Post Promotion For Scarlett Van Dijk
I wrote a guest blog post for Australian young adult writer Scarlett Van Dijk. The title says it all: More Than Words: Why Writers Needn’t Sweat Word Count. It was a nice opportunity for me to expound on one of my favorite writing-related topics and hopefully give (especially new) writers a different perspective… all the while pointing a handful of folks toward my site and my own works.
Check it out, and if it moves you, please comment on the post over at Scarlett’s site!
Interview on The Dead Robots’ Society
My fifth appearance on this long-running podcast for writers and the readers who love them was, as always, a really fun time. In and around discussing Pilgrimage — A Novel of the Sovereign Era, I got to explore what it’s like to revisit older work, issues of verisimilitude, the writer’s responsibility to their community, the nature of art, and the like. Give a listen to the discussion over at The Dead Robots’ Society website, and please join in the conversation by leaving your comments there!
Pilgrimage In The Wild
I’ve begun shipping autographed paperback copies of Pilgrimage — A Novel of the Sovereign Era to the patrons of its Kickstarter campaign and, happily, some of the recipients have posted photos of their new books. It makes me happy! Here’s a selection:
Cover artist Neal Von Flue shows off his handywork!
Chrispian Burks placed his copy in the middle of the action (figures)!
Patron Scott Pond’s new copies of Brave Men Run and Pilgrimage!
J. C. Hutchins had a great mail day, including his framed Pilgrimage manuscript page and autographed paperback!
James Melzer continues a long history of above-and-beyond support!
Pretty nifty!
