It’s time for a newstastic roundup. Let’s see, where to begin?<\/p>\n

First, hey, if you’re going to Lonestarcon \/ Worldcon or are a supporting member, you have one more week to vote (click here to do so<\/strong><\/span><\/a>). I’ll just casually nudge you —\u00a0tickle tickle<\/em> — to remind you that I am in some very good company in that I am nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. Ahem. Wink wink. *does an erratic tap dance*<\/p>\n

Next up: in advance of next week’s release of\u00a0Under the Empyrean Sky<\/strong>, I stop by Tor.com to answer their Pop Quiz at the End of the Universe<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. There you can learn my secret not-so-shameful shame, my secret nickname, and other wondrously magical trivial — er, trivia! — tidbits about me. (Pro-tip: anybody who calls me “Chazz” gets facemurdered.)<\/p>\n

Oh! Speaking of\u00a0Under the Empyrean Sky<\/strong>… it’s totally out next week! AAAAAAAAAH. Ahem. Anyway! It’s still up for pre-order at a very low, very cozy prize. Only $3.99 for the Kindle edition, and $10.79 for the hardcover edition. I don’t suspect those prices will remain after it goes on sale next Tuesday, but what the hell do I know? Check it out here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. (Just, umm, ignore those nasty reviews where people are cranky at me for being all vulgar and sexy and stuff.)<\/p>\n

Also: I stop by Publishers Weekly radio this week (hosted by publishing icon Rose Fox) and talk about urban fantasy and writing advice. Go listen<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n

What next? Ah! Yes. I’ll be at the Joseph E. Coleman Northwest Regional Library on Saturday, September 21st from 3pm – 5pm talking about writing and books and signing books and performing heretical rituals to forbidden gods. Details on the event –> here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally! My novel\u00a0Bait Dog<\/strong> (featuring cracked Southern belle teenage detective-slash-vigilante Atlanta Burns — think\u00a0Veronica Mars<\/strong> on Adderall) has dropped in price — right now it’s at $2.99 for the Kindle edition riiiiiiight\u00a0here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Note that with this novel you\u00a0also<\/em> get the first Atlanta Burns story,\u00a0Shotgun Gravy<\/strong>, included in the e-book.<\/p>\n

And that’s that.<\/p>\n
