New book next week!!
Jun. 12th, 2024 04:39 pmQueen Ophelia's War will be going live on Smashwords and Draft2Digital on 20 June, right on the Summer Solstice! See you then! :D
Hopefully the last go-round...
Mar. 6th, 2024 10:05 amI'm currently reading what I'm hoping is the last go-round of Queen Ophelia's War, and this time I'm basically doing the spot-checking of minor errors -- most of which seem to be word repetition or missing words. A lot of it reads really well so I'm happy about that. It's got the same vibe that In My Blue World did for me, come to think of it. I'm not doing the fixes right now, but merely noting them on a notepad so I can focus completely on the reading. I'll do those fixes once I'm done, and those shouldn't take more than a few days unless there's a huge problem that needs focusing on.
Either way, if all goes well this book should be out and available by April! Woo!

I made good on my recent plan to surprise-release Diwa & Kaffi on July 1! Here's the link:

So how did it feel to pull it all together in record time? Really great, actually! Even with the trouble I had getting the photo editing software to behave for the cover, I'm happy with the result! I'd finished revision on it some time ago so most of the work was just on the cover and the formatting. The latter only took a few hours at most.
I've definitely missed releasing new e-books on a yearly basis. I'm still happy that I took a few years off for personal reasons, but I'm glad to be back. And if this one does well maybe I'll pick up one of my backburner projects to work on while I work on MU4 so I can get back into the habit again!
Weekend Update Has Kept Busy
Mar. 4th, 2018 04:38 pm Things I Did This Weekend:
--Learned how to rip DVDs onto my external hard drive. I may start doing this to get rid of some of the older DVDs I rarely watch.
--Visited the in-laws in Petaluma for lunch, had a tasty pizza at one of the tiny hip restaurants in the Theater District
--Did a quick overview of the electric guitars at Tall Toad Music (in the same city), as I'm contemplating trading in my rarely-used 12-string guitar for a second electric 6-string. Fell in love with a Gretsch that I hope is there when I return next.
--Went to the gym for the first time in a week or so.
--Had a very tasty brunch at the new Turkish/Mediterranean bistro up the street (Lokma), deemed it quite excellent.
--Three loads of laundry, surprised that no one else was using it at the moment.
--Started to prepare for FogCon, which starts this Friday. I have a reading and I'm on a panel about self-publishing!
Oh-- and I FINALLY released Meet the Lidwells! WOOHOO! It's now available at Smashwords, and it's on sale this week, for only $1.50! Go check it out! :D
So yeah, that's been my weekend. How's yours been? :)
