I sent this out to my blog followers last week - but I thought you guys might enjoy it as well. For new travelers visiting the setting of Asteroid Made of Dragons.

Omg! It's a shiny hybrid where almost Alice Cooper, not quite Tenacious D, faux Frank Sinatra, and slightly Stephen Sondheim (and maybe a few others) meet at the Crossroads of Christmas and the King of Forever.
It's just what I wanted!
I got you a Christmas present.
Well, I'm kind of 're-gifting' it. Every year, me and my co-conspirator Jonathan Sparks get a bunch of friends together and make a Christmas album. This is our sixth one from last year, and I just uploaded it all on Soundcloud and made a fancy playlist for you all to enjoy.
As should come as no surprise: it is weird. But some nice songs! Your heart will be warmed even as you are confused.
AMOD Update: Turned in copy edits this week, so we are full speed ahead into proofing, production, and staying on schedule for release in April. It was odd/nice to do my final 'creative' work on the book - there's always a tiny ache along with the relief as my brain gets to free up resources for other projects. I am beyond proud of this book - and very eager for you all to get to read it.
Reviews and blurbs. Over the next few weeks you're going to start seeing me actively address and educate you about the massive importance of reviews to the success of AMOD. All of the backers should be receiving copies of the book before the official release - those early reviews are crucial to the long-term survival of the book. I'm also on the hunt for extremely influential and famous people who want to tarnish their reputation by reading the book and giving us a blurb for the cover - which is daunting!
Thanks as always for your support and attention! Enjoy the Shadeaux Bros!
