After over a dozen entries in the month of September, my busy schedule has forced me to slip back into the bad habit of not updating the blog as regularly as I'd like. This round-up collects two weeks' worth of publications, minus new Sunday Blogdays for the next couple of weeks. I'm already hard at work on STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN 2 and getting back ( Read more... )

Last fall I ran a complete chapter from STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN on Shacknews. The promotion went over so well that I decided to give away a few more pages... only, closer to the book's release rather than a year off ( Read more... )

Today brings more coverage for STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN--the series, not just Book 1--and a new review from Touch Arcade. Feast your eyes on:

- Warcry.com's announcement of STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN 1, which includes a sneak peek at some World of WarCraft information covered in Books 2 and 3. What kind of information? Oh, nothing much. Just the story ( Read more... )

Last week's announcement of STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN 1's release on October 31 shifted the promotional wagon into drive. The first stop on our tour: Venture Beat. Dean Takahashi, an editor for the site, extended an invitation to write an editorial on a topic related to the book.
