Tantalus Depths is only 3 pre-orders away from reaching Quill! Let’s get there tonight!

Hey! I don’t usually update this often, but couple of pieces of news to share.

First if you like fiction about the dirty underbelly of Hollywood (and who doesn’t) please check out notorious Hollywood columnist Nikki Finke’s site, Hollywooddementia. Why? because she has published my novella Falconer, which is about a nasty piece of work named Gavin Falconer! It is appearing in four parts, with Part 2 up today, but if you follow the link to the site you can catch up on Part 1. It would be cool if you leave a comment on the site as well, preferably saying something nice. Or not! But also so cool is the artwork by John Donald Carlucci that accompanies each installment. He is extremely talented. So go read. Here’s the link:

And now marketing news. In case you missed the current issue of The Malibu Times (what, you don’t have a subscription??) this little piece appears on Page 19. 

Part of Women Like Us is set in Malibu (with most of the rest in Pasadena), so small independent papers in those areas have been targeted and see? The effort pays off. A blitz of small independent bookstores is currently being planned. Hopefully more news on that soon.

Okay that’s it.  Go read Falconer. It’s very different from Women Like Us, and quite frankly it’s not for children, so shoo the kids out of the room!

Yesterday was a great day for Pre-Orders. "Squids In" held 3rd place for a good few hours before the wonderful "In Beta" by Prescott Harvey surged back up the leaderboard while the octopus and I slept. In an effort to win back 3rd place, I asked the octopus to jump on my laptop and hit the social networks to drum up support. I came back to find him doing this...

There is a special circle in hell reserved for Dust2 campers!!!

If you have not already pre-ordered "Squids In", I would really appreciate it if you could. Finishing 3rd is the only way I’m going to get the octopus out of here!

P.S. I have been speaking with some guys over on DeviantArt about drawing a couple of the scenes from my first chapter and what they have been coming back with has been amazeballs so far. "Squids In" is unlikely to morph into a graphic novel but a few drawings here and there won’t hurt. I will share them as and when they are completed.

I am very excited to present a new book cover for Mission 51! Here is how it happened:
