Sales Report

As you can see, people are downloading my free titles on a regular basis. The most popular is also the most recent, Interview Inside a Terrarium.

Actual sales, people who got the paid titles in my repertoire, remains low. Only one sale each of Hevun’s Ambassador and Hevun’s Gate. You can see them on the line graph on the far left.

The good news is that most of my downloads are coming directly from Smashwords. If people bought stuff, that would mean that I’d be getting the most money from sales. But since I’m not getting paid a lot, it means that I might have a chance of earning something, should any customers return.

I know that there are literally hundreds of people who’ve downloaded a sample of my works and not come back to complete the sale.

And I have to ask why.

Is my writing not good enough? Are my stories not compelling? Or is it a case of absent-mindedness coupled with the lack of money that’s plaguing eveyone?

The Q&A Session of Genghis Khan!

Genghis Khan rises from the dead, and gently and politely corrects some misconceptions about his history, personality, etc.

(#00685 - A320)

There were several big surprises when Gengis Khan returned from the dead. Not the least of which being that he was average height for a man of his time.

He was muscular, well-groomed, and quite brown… yet he looked as much at ease in a modern business suit as he should have in horse-hides and furs. He did not have

Every interest group has the Stereotype That Makes Them Look Bad. The Muslims have the terrorists, the Christians have the Westboro Baptist Church, Science Fiction Fans has The Big Bang Theory… And Furries… have Those Furries.

You know exactly the ones I’m talking about.

Those Furries who are vocal ignoramuses and objectify everyone or everything with a set of boobs. Those Furries who make arses of themselves whenever the media is watching. Those Furries who, like those bronies,

Yes, goddamnit

















(Reminder that light eyes and blonde hair can be caused by conditions, such as Waardenburg Syndrome and albinism, but they are still real people that can (and should) be represented in media and such)

And also I can add that I have news for y’all, people can be black and naturally blonde

The Hunt Begins!

The Rabbit Women of Solares IV begin their Great Hunt! (for carrots, Earth-Men mates, Bugs Bunny memorabilia, what-have-you.)

(#00684 - A319)

Nobody saw the invasion coming. Well. Almost nobody. Make that ‘nobody who counts in the greater social milieu’ because Professor Cocomilia was largely viewed as a crank.

His theories about Lapinoids had been the stuff of geek comedy for years. As were his increasingly agitated attempts to warn the public.

And then came Invasion Day.

They  were seven-foot-tall amazons

Challenge #00683 - A318: Different Perspective

Free prompt! This ticket entitles the writer to do any daily drabble that just needs to be written, and may be used out of sequence.

[AN: The following is a preview of sorts for my book-in-progress, Kung Fu Zombies. However the point of view presented may not appear in the book. Essentially, I’m cleansing my mental palette]

If she wanted to be kind, E would say that Aiden astonished her. Amazed, confounded and confused. Maybe even a little bit of

State Of Emergency, Pt 1 (11/17/14): Twitter reacts to the Governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon, declaring a state emergency in anticipation of the grand jury announcement for Darren Wilson. The National Guard of Missouri has been activated and will be on the ground in St Louis, ready to mobilize against protesters at a moment’s notice. This is oppression in action, but we will not be scared away. Demand justice in Ferguson. #staywoke #farfromover

Challenge ##00682 - A317: Strange Camouflage

Pic prompt!

[Picture shows a tree that has grown around some war debris. The most prominent piece resembles a stick insect.]

It was another ghost world. Cheryl hated ghost worlds. There was always a chance, a slim and gut-wrenching chance, that there were survivors, somewhere far away from the relics of past civilisation. Bombed back to the stone age. Or further.

Nomadic gatherer-hunters were hard to find with orbital scanners.

There weren’t many buildings standing, any more. Forests had come
