<\/a>That is a suitably dreary photo to accurately represent how suitably dreary it is outside right now. It’s gray and rainy and unnnggghh *banshee moan* this weekend was warm and lush and spring was in the air and now it’s cold and wet and fuck it.<\/p>\n

And no that’s not a macro photo, but we’re all just going to have to deal. It’s a macro photo if you’re a giant. How about that? There you go. If you’re a giant, particularly a Space Giant out there in Giant Space, it’s a macro photo. Boom, you just got\u00a0lawyered<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, this week — well, the end of this week — I turn a big ol’ whopping 42 years old, which given HHGTTG, leads me to believe this will be some kind of very special year for me, cosmically speaking? I mean, probably not, but let a fella have his literarily numerological leanings, yeah? Yeah. But anyway, to celebrate, I figure I’d put my MEGA ULTRA SUPER DUPER POOPER UBER BOOK BUNDLE<\/strong><\/span><\/a> on sale — 50% off, so $20 becomes $10, which means you get ten books (eight writing books, two novels) for a buck a pop all in one go. You can check it out here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and you get the sale price with the coupon BOOKBIRTHDAY.<\/p>\n

I’ve also noodled on doing a Patreon or Drip to support this site — but I’m also not sure about it. I don’t want to silo content unnecessarily, and I don’t want to split the readership here, nor punish those who\u00a0aren’t<\/em> subscribers. More thought will be required.<\/p>\n

Ooh, also, ATLANTA BURNS<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and its sequel, THE HUNT<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, are still on sale for $0.99 a pop. For how long? I’ve no idea. Maybe ten minutes. Maybe ten years. Again, please note: these books are trigger-warning-flavored for all manner of things, so please be aware of that going into the deal. Good news on this front: a friend of mine wrote a pilot script based on the first AB book, and it was\u00a0fucking cracking<\/em> — I’ve read a lot of pilot scripts and this one, boy howdy, it’s one of the best scripts I’ve read. It captures the book while still being its own thing? It’s great. I don’t know that anything will happen with it, but Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise, fortune will smile on this weird little project.<\/p>\n

ANYWAY.<\/p>\n

Reminder of where I’ll be upcoming —<\/p>\n

This weekend: Ravencon in Virginia!<\/p>\n

Then, May 5th, I’ll be at the Quakertown branch of the BCFL library for their comic-con day. I’ll be signing books and Let’s Play Books will have books for sale, so come by, say hi. Details here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m at Phoenix ComicFest<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0May 24 – 27, and will have a schedule for you soon.<\/p>\n

Then I think I’m popping up to BEA to sign Damn Fine Story? More on that as I know!<\/p>\n

Then I’m doing Writer’s Digest in NYC in August.<\/p>\n

And that’s it!<\/p>\n

I’M OUT.<\/p>\n
