…Dial wants Hamster Princess. Three books of Hamster Princess! Oh god, I am SO happy–A) I love that book, I love the heroine, I love her riding quail Mumfrey, and B) I hate pitching series ideas a lot and was down to “Lawn Flamingo with Lawn Gnome Sidekick. They fight crime!” and it was actually […]

So there’s this publishing horror story making the rounds the last few days—the saga of Mandy DeGeit, who submitted a short story to a small press that did anthologies and discovered that it was published with a whole lot of changes, including animal abuse, which she never saw, never okayed, and never had an inkling […]
Also, I have a vague memory of a book coming out, by some weirdo author person…. (Okay, that’s an Amazon link, but if you can, totally go buy it from your local bookstore. Bookstores are hurting. Also, I get more money that way.)
This will be long. I may ramble. Sideways. Through walls. You’ve been warned. So in the last few weeks, I have found myself, for whatever reason, tripping repeatedly over things on the interwebs about self-publishing. I didn’t do it deliberately, at least at first, but Google+ makes it easy to fall over this stuff, and […]
Today was the sort of awesome day that makes me a little wary of going up and down the stairs, because it seems so out of balance that I am undoubtedly bucking for a broken leg or something. I finished the art for Fairybreath (oh god yay!) hit another mental landmark in Bread Wizard (yay!) […]
What you’ve been waiting for! Signed copies of Digger 6 go on sale Saturday the 6th, at 6AM and 6PM CST. You can order them here–there’s a drop down box on the page that allows you to specify signed copies, as long as supplies last.
Life continues apace. In theory I get sales numbers for Ninja Frogs soon—preliminary call from agent indicates that it’s goin’ good, but I’d kinda like to see actual numbers of copies, since going good could cover a range anywhere between “not sucking” and “talk to your accountant about offshore tax havens.”* This is the woeful […]
Whew! Lots of interest, lots of worthy causes out there! (From not knowing what to do with them, I am suddenly wishing I had more!) I tried to give one to all the librarians/teachers, and then assigned the rest at random by rolling d100’s… So! Without further ado… From Tea with the Squash God, Jude […]
I went out to do some coffee shop writing and came home to find a mailer full of books on the porch. When I slit it open, puzzled–I’m due some ARCs soon, for Ghostbreath, but not anything in hardcover–I laughed out loud. I am now the proud owner of four or five copies each of […]
I spent a chunk of last night with a pen and some large Bookmobile boxes, with the end result that signed copies of Black Dogs 1 & 2 will go on sale tomorrow, along with the regular unsigned copies. (Transit time will take a little longer on signed copies, as I still have to ship […]
