Preorders for the ebook of A Dark Whimsy are now live on the Zon. A strong book release would be a neat thing, so please consider preordering.

If you look very close and give it great consideration, you can perhaps pinpoint when Tor Nightfire added our Insta post to their story. It’s very subtle.

Dear person reading one of my books on KU in Australia right now,
Thank you so much. It’s incredibly cool to think of someone on the other side of the world reading my words.

Last month we had over 11,000 KU pages read across our books, whereas this month we’re on track for maybe 2,000.

These things really do bounce up and down from one month to the next. Can’t decipher a rhyme or reason to it.

Commutes are foul monsters constructed of lost minutes, stalled highways, and engine exhaust.
Everyday, they nibble a bit of my soul away.
Anyway, have a great Monday.

Yet again I’ve failed to do a competent job of gathering sufficient reviewers for our new release.
Next time, though … next time will be better.

My crime novel, A Seance for Wicked King Death, is one rating shy of 100 on Goodreads. If you’ve read it, help me get over the mark please! If you haven’t, the ebook is 99 cents on Kindle.

Inigo Montoya is an entirely awesome character. But don’t be like him. Let your grudges go.
