Yep, that’s right, Aristeia: Revolutionary Right is again free today on Amazon. The ability to make books free is one of the benefits of the Kindle Select program. For a 90 day enrollment you get 5 days free. Since we’ve only used one so far and the period is up Read more…
I learned recently that the final book in the Wheel of Time series is being delayed until Jan. 8, 2013. At one point it was supposed to be out now, so I am fairly disappointed. 23 years from the first book to the last one is a long time. As Read more…
Free Book Day The free book day went amazingly yesterday. In all, 450 copies of Aristeia: Revolutionary Right were downloaded. It reached as high as 570 overall in the free category and #17 in the sci-fi free category. Someday, maybe it will get that high in the paid category. While Read more…
Today is a special day. I love Feb 29th for the fact that it comes only once every four years. There’s no holiday associated with. There really should be. A big hoopla event that puts every other holiday to shame. Since there isn’t, I’m going to celebrate anyways. For today Read more…

Coming up this weekend, I’ll be sitting in the dealer room of OwlCon. The extent of my con going experience was Dragon Con in 2010. My wife and I decided we wanted to go try something like that before we had kids so, almost on a whim, we decided to Read more…
At least not after the lame guest they had on Episode 151 last night. Yeah, they let me on there to talk about Revolutionary Right. If that’s not an indication the show is in decline, I don’t know what is. Seriously though, the Order 66 Podcast is great fun if Read more…
