All Hallows Read

A 15-post collection

Thursday, IT'S ALIVE!

The video is out and running, my lovelies!

Check it out!

I did it all on my only, with occasional input from the rest of the QPP. I wrote the story, I made the cover art, I created the background music, and wrote and performed the ad copy.

I expect to shut up about in long about November 1.

And I will be tagging various authors I know on the interwebs about it.

I got Mayhem to APM this morning and the good news is he has employment! Huzzah. Earning some of that filthy lucre will be a good change for him. Plus he's learning to drive so that means more freedom for my beamish boy.

He starts work this coming Monday. Fun.

Tomorrow, I take him out for clothing. Tomorrow, I pick up the QPP. Saturday is parkrun and getting our hair did. SUNDAY is Renfaire.

I'm a busy little bean.

Happy birthday to me

This is the third year I've given away a story on my birthday for free. I have quite the stable of free tales but this is more introspective than most.

When you look at society, really look at society, you discover a great deal of unfairness based entirely on things an individual can not help.

Skin tone - society judges you within thirteen seconds and that prejudice remains. The darker your skin, the more threatening you are to paler people.
Genitals -

These are eight cells of a 64-cell page I made. All of those bitly links lead to one of the stories I have on Smashwords for free.

Those stories are:

I printed five pages, and trimmed them into four-cell strips along the rows, and now have them in a little nest in case of haloweenies who can’t have sugar.

And if they can’t read, either,

Is this better?

I got rid of the ugly, under-colouring ‘glow’ and refined it to an effects layer [harder than it looks, I had to re-fill the wheel and delete all the noise from my previous attempts] which I can now edit to my heart’s content.

I also added some blood red to the body of the bicycle and fooled with the opacity a little. Too strong == uglier :P

I mean, I want it to look like an

ATTN: Beta readers

I have just sent out Book 1, version 1.2 for reading and reviewing.

If you have volunteered as a beta reader, but not received an email from me, you need to get back to me with an email address that works.

I am cleaning out all the non-responsive emails from my Beta-readers list.

I want this book out in the world ASAP. Preferably in time for All Hallows’ Read. AKA this October.

The clock is ticking.

Merry Halloween!

Fifty-four peeps have downloaded my free story [And a few of you have sampled the others available] so here’s a thank-you pic of sorts. The Oshit in all its fuzzy, cuddly glory… as rendered by Xotxot.

Of course, when I’m finally a famous author, I’ll be giving these darlings away as toys :D What say you all to ‘Orrible 'Airy Oshit onna stick? Plush cuddly Oshit pillow dolls?

Things to be grateful for #5247985965490921…

The fact that Xotxot came through with the brilliant cover on the right; so that you get to read a book with that cover, rather than the nasty thing on the left that I came up with.

First thing tomorrow morn, mytime, that cover is going to be in my Smashwords profile. Enjoy!

This is the shit I put together

This is the brilliance Xotxot made for me

An announcement

Firstly, I would like to thank Neil Gaiman for the idea that wound its way into my head and did what ideas do best: mutate into near cthulu-esque proportions.

See, the kind and apparently flamingo-like Mr Gaiman came up with/publicised All Hallows Read, an event in which people who celebrate Halloween [and even those who choose not to] can give away a spooky book to friends, family or complete strangers.

So I wrote a completely new story. From go to whoa,
