This video, in its ENTIRETY, is how I feel. I’m on an award list next to N.K. Jemison and Jim Butcherrrrrrrr.
You did this. All of you that took the time to answer my plea and nominate me – and I cannot thank you enough. It makes me feel fantastic. This is great for exposure for AMOD and I was already going to be at DragonCon – so now MY SWAGGER WILL UNHOOK PLANETS IN THEIR VERY ORBITS. It is your fault that I will act like an even bigger asshole at the con! Feel the surge of pride!
Now – if you haven’t already registered to vote – you should!
http://application.dragoncon.org/dc_fan_awards_signup.php
You should vote for me – and my Sword & Laser/Inkshares shelf-brethren: The Life Engineered by J.F. Dubeau and An Unnattractive Vampire by Jim McDoniel.
BUT
LET’S BE CALM AND RATIONAL FOR JUST A SECOND.
Take another look at the bracket I’m in. Here’s who I’m up against.
SO. What does my book have going for it? Well – you guys AND:
IT’S THE ONLY BOOK WITH ‘DRAGON’ IN THE TITLE.
SO LET’s DO IT!
Okay – okay. Honestly, I’ve already won. This is all I ever wanted out of The Dragon Award – to get nominated, get a little more attention on the book, etc. Thanks again to everyone who nominated me. You made this happen. (I always say that like an accusation…) I get to pretend to be a big shot for a little bit longer – the awards actually get announced AT the con, which adds the perfect amount of sizzle to the weekend. It’s fun to be at the big table for a hot second – even though I’m still wearing my bib. So vote! Vote for MEEEE. But with the knowledge that I already feel awesome and I’m going to have a blast with this entire situation all the way through someone else winning the Dragon Award that should have been miiiineeeeeee.
With heart-eyes emoji for you all –
Dragon-Nominated Author [hey this is a thing now!]

So huh... Remember when I asked all you beautiful people to help my first book, The Life Engineered, get nominated for a Dragon Award? Ha! Good times, gooooood times. What a laugh we had.
I didn’t think there was a tuna’s chance in a cattery of this happening but apparently I’m wrong. You guys did it. You got The Life Engineered nominated in the Science Fiction Category.
It would be a lie to pretend I’m not floored.
So I guess, the next logical step is to try to win? You’ve been kind enough to go vote for the nomination so perhaps I can impose upon you to follow this link and sign up to vote for The Life Engineered and perhaps, we can make some magic happen? It’s a long shot but so was getting nominated.
Wow, friend... you are amazing.
NOTE: My fellow Sword & Laser Collection authors are also nominated. So if you’re inclined to help push the Inkshares and Sword & Laser brands, give An Unattractive Vampire and Asteroid made of Dragons a bit of a vote? Thanks!

Dearest Supporters,
It’s been awhile. We hope this update finds you well.
We’ll keep this short, but we have some exciting news for your ears. Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory is now an audiobook!!!!
THE LINK: http://adbl.co/2b0vAbz
No longer are you confined to the physical book or e-reader! Listen while you run! Or while you’re at your desk! Listen in a car or on a train! Kids crying that they need food or love? Shut that noise down by popping on your headphones and immersing yourself in the #multiversebook.
If you know anyone who mostly or only read audiobooks, please let them know! Or better yet, buy the audiobook as a gift for them. As always, thanks.
And remember, if you’ve read the book but haven’t written a review on Amazon and Goodreads, please do so. The longevity of our book sales depend on it.
