Hey all,

There's so much happening so it's time for another update.

News:

THE SWORD AND LASER is back!
The contest that got us all here is back to give more aspiring authors the opportunity to be published. Right now only three books have been submitted and I haven't had time to check them out, but, much like blood, there will recommendations. If any of you have a sci-fi or fantasy manuscript rattling in the back of a drawer somewhere, throw it and yourself into the ring. Go on! You can do it!

More News:

If anyone is in or around Chicago this week, I highly recommend you check out the 2015 Deathscribe Festival of horror-filled radio plays. It's this coming Monday the 7th at 8PM at the Mayne Stage Theatre. For more information, visit: http://www.wildclawtheatre.com/deathscribe-2015/

And finally, look what arrived at Inkshares today:

GALLEYS! I have galleys! My book is a real life thing and not just a collection of electrons blinking across a circuit board. Oh and for those of you too impatient to wait, I should warn you, these promotional copies come with their own theft deterent system.

More news to come. Until then, thank you all and beware of dog.

Hey Everyone,

So, how's your week going? Because mine...

That's right. An Unattractive Vampire has been chosen to join the Inkshares contest winners Asteroid Made of Dragons and The Life Engineered in the Sword and Laser collection. Here is a link to the official announcement.

I couldn't be be more happier. First of all, without the Sword and Laser contest, I would not have proofreading notes from a professional production team in my inbox right now. Second, I've been a fan of the Sword and Laser for years now. Seeing them use my two  sentence jokes on their video show was exciting and when I heard them laugh while saying the title of my book on their podcast months ago, I was ecstatic. Getting to be a part of their collection, a part of the Sword and Laser, well...let's just say I'm going to have to replace a slot on my list of life goals. So thank you so, so much Tom and Veronica wherever you are (the West coast).

However, as one Mstr. Yulric Dunnwolffe Bile knows, there is no rest for the wicked. And so, until there's more news, goodnight.

Also, SQUEE!

Haha. Hahaha. Haha.

I'm just coming off another week of frenetic grad school assignment completion and finally have time to breath and update. And there's a lot to update because apparently, EVERYTHING HAPPENED while I was identifying nominative absolutes in Hemingway. (Show off.)

First of all, frequent visitors may have noticed that the cover has changed. 

Apologies if that is huge, I'm technology deficient But come on, isn't it pretty? I hope you like it as much as I do, because it's going to be staring at you from your bookshelf, silently judging your life choices.

Next up, I discovered this:

http://www.amazon.com/Unattractive-Vampire-Jim-McDoniel/dp/1941758649/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445397137&sr=8-1&keywords=An+Unattractive+Vampire

My book is on Amazon! And Goodreads! And a bunch of other sites! It's still early days still. They don't, for example, have this shiny new cover up yet. But still, I'm excited.

And finally, what probably most interests you, I finished the copy edit on time. So as far as the material (that will be encased in the glossy majesty seen above) goes, we are right on schedule and your copies will now contain a few less work repetitions and probably make a little more sense.

That's all for now. Uh...hope you all are doing well. (How do you close out one of these things?) 

Bye?
