Dear followers! 

What a time to be alive! 

You'll soon be able to pre-order ebooks on Inkshares for half the print book price, MST3K is coming back, and John Robin showed us his stupidly handsome face!

What will happen next???

Anyway, here's one grainy shot of me reading at the MNSpec 2015 Local Author Showcase hosted by Conrad Zero on Sunday! Video is coming soon, they say. Everyone was very complimentary and encouraging, and I was impressed by the quality of the other readings. 10/10 would do again.



The coolest part of this event by far was meeting other interesting authors. Notably, Linday Loree, who read from her short story that's part of Twin Cities Speculations: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy! She's super cool and awesome and I recommend you check out that anthology.

I also made friends with two awesome kindred spirits, Erika Hammerschmidt and John C. Riker, authors of Kea's Flight. They are everything I'd want out of a local author scene and MORE.

Speaking of awesome things from the Twin Cities...

GUESS WHAT

TIME FOR A TOUR OF MINNESOTA

Today's Museday Mix: Tom Wood Edition will float you down a Mississippi River of awesome Minnesota artists. Did I mention my characters spend Episodes IV - IX in Minnesota? Well they do!

Tom is me if I were single, jobless, bearded, and believed aliens live among us. He is ridiculous.

Museday Mix: Tom Wood Edition

Lady You Shot Me - Har Mar Superstar*
Where Have You Been - The Fattenin' Frogs**
Only Life I Know - Brother Ali
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon - The Andrews Sisters
Junkie - 4onthefloor live at First Ave***
Times They Are A'Changin' - Bob Dylan cover by Peter Jones
Purple Rain - Prince
Closing Time - Semisonic

You get only 8 songs because Tom doesn't enter into the story until Episode V.

Finally, here's a serious recommendation:

Tacos. Eat tacos and pre-order Tacocity: Los Angeles Through the Eyes of a Tacophile by Rob Gokee. Because tacos.


I have some plans and events coming up, but I'm thinking I'll do a separate "upcoming events" update on Fridays from now on!

Until then...

      HARDBACK v PAPERBACK - FIGHT!

      Last week I sent a questionnaire out to all of the AGELESS campaign backers which was about the direction that the book will ultimately go.  Two major questions were asked: Hardback or paperback, and which cover tickles your fancy?

      Thank you for all your responses, and here's the results...

      Hardback vs. Paperback - Winner = PAPERBACK with almost 65% of the vote.  The consensus was that the cheaper price would appeal to a larger audience and be more marketable.  

      AGELESS will be coming as a paperback next spring (And for those of you that ordered at hardback prices of $25.99, I have been told that you will be getting the difference returned to you.  Initial backers, remember your investment was only $10).  

      The release date is tentatively May, 3rd, 2016.

      As for the cover...well, it's still being tweaked (with you very valuable input) and I will show you the finished product when I can.

      So if you are following and you haven't bought, let's make a plan to purchase.  I need your help.  It's true.  I can't do this alone.  I need you.  

      Let's make Friday, Nov. 6th AGELESS day!!  If you haven't pre-ordered, let's do it then. 2:00 PM wherever you are, help me reach #AGELESS1K!  Convince one friend.  Just one.  Read them the synopsis.

      Imagine that you never aged—that you would forever remain young and vital, impervious to the ravages of time. For Alessandra, a woman whose genetic code keeps her eternally young—perhaps even making her immortal—this fantasy is a reality.

      But it’s not as idyllic as it seems.

      Her rare condition only leaves her feeling isolated and fearful of what her circumstances really mean for her future. And Alessandra has every reason to be afraid. After many years in captivity as the subject of Nazi science experimentation, she’s haunted by the memories of her exploitation and desperate to keep her identity a secret. This proves to be exceptionally difficult when impassioned CIA agent Mark Richards develops an unhealthy obsession with capturing her.

      After decades of fleeing from her enemies, Alessandra finds a devoted ally in Grey Chapman. But can she learn to trust another after all she’s been through?

      Ageless is a thrilling journey that spans decades and asks the question: If you could live forever, would you want to?

      Thanks for everything!  You guys are the greatest.

      PRE-ORDER NOW!
