Bits and Pieces
192.6
It’s a glorious Fall Sunday morning in
Charlotte and time for my weekly blog. As you can see from my weight posted up
top, my scales are back on line. Not sure if that’s a blessing or a curse. Oh,
well. Today’s blog, like my past week, is in bits and pieces (hence the title –
clever, huh?).
Release Date Set for
Dragon
My cover guy, Rich, promised to have the
cover for The Dragon of Doughton Park
ready this weekend. No sooner had the words escaped his lips (or fingers, I guess
– the promise came in an email), did Rich take off for a weekend camping trip. Of
course I interpreted ‘this weekend’ to mean Friday night, since that’s what I
was hoping for. But, I guess Rich meant Sunday night. And he is known to be a
man of his word.
Anyway, the cover will be available soon.
The text has been formatted for paperback, kindle, and nook, and files have
been uploaded to CreateSpace, KDP, and PubIt. Therefore, I’ve set a release
date for the book. Dragon will be
officially released on Halloween!
APageAway is organizing a blog tour around
the release date. Tentatively, the blog tour will run from Oct 29 through Nov
2. There will be author interviews, book reviews and some nifty prizes to give
away. More will be revealed on the tour as details become available.
Facial Hair
A few days ago I heard my thirteen-year-old
shout from the bathroom, “My stash!” Panic. I flashed back to a random memory
from my youth, when one of my roommates (I never found out who it was) had
gotten into my cache of drugs. In nanoseconds I had projected years into the
future and visiting Seth in rehab.
But, no. My son ran to me and thrust his
face into my own.
See?
See what?
Look! What do you see?
Your nostrils? Back off a little. What are
you talking about?
My ‘stache! I have a moustache!
I looked closer. Nothing. I turned his head
side-to-side. Still nothing. No, wait. Looking at his silhouette, with the
light from the bathroom doorway behind him, I saw them. Tiny hairs formed a
light fuzz across his upper lip. In fact, the same fuzz covered his chin and
cheeks. Oh, my god.
My son’s beard is coming in!
How delightful for him.
Jeez, I'm getting old.
Draculata Nest Available
With New Cover
A revised text (I corrected the typos some
of you have pointed out!) and a new cover have been uploaded to CreateSpace,
Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. Those venues now feature the latest edition of The Draculata Nest. I am super happy
with the new cover Ray and Rich collaborated on. You can click on the DNest in paperback link at the bottom of
this blog post to get one. You’ll have to get one of the $12.99 copies to
receive the new cover. The $10.99 copies, although new, have the original
cover.
Okay, that’s it for this week, I guess. I’ll
have more details on the release of Dragon
and the blog tour next Sunday.
And remember:
From now until the time Dragon goes on sale, the ebook price for The Draculata Nest has been reduced to only $0.99. You can purchase
it through one of the following venues. Click on the link that applies to you.
