It's Monday and that means, basically, everyone is updating their Inkshares promotions. I apologize if you are receiving fifteen of these from different authors. Although, good on you for buying 15+ books.

Also, if you've already bought a copy of An Unattractive Vampire, you will have received an e-mail featuring the rest of Chapter 7. It's a bit lengthier than the other excerpts, but I couldn't decide on where to cut it in half, so now you can enjoy it in all it's unfiltered, awkwardly footnoted glory. (Note: if you haven't bought the book, you can also enjoy this sample chapter using an intricate series of levers and pulleys after you click the "Read More" button below the sample Chapter.)

As for me, I am currently splitting my time between shameless self-promotion and writing audio drama scripts. Our Fair City Season 7 is slowly taking shape as we read through first drafts (Visit www.ourfaircity.com for all your mad science/molepeople-filled corporate dystopian needs) and I'm working to hit the deadline for The Marion Thauer Brown Audio Drama Scriptwriting Competition (if you're interesting in that sort of thing, you can check visit the website: http://mtbscriptcompetition.com).  So yes, as a Snowman-hating magician once said, "Busy, busy, busy."

There are only two weeks left in the Sword and Laser contest, which, for some of you, means nothing, since you've already bought a book. But, if you haven't or you know someone who hasn't or you know someone, your time to help me get this published is running out. So please, buy a book and/or spread the word. I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
