A 317-post collection

Dear followers:

A while ago, I put out a plea to reblog the shit out of the soon-to-be-released Hevun’s Rebel.

You all did a wonderful job reblogging that one post.

What I need is all of you spreading the word about the other posts. The ones where it’s the cover, the date, and a small collection of words… they get ignored.

Those are the ones I need you to spread around.

And not just on Tumblr.

Spread the word around on every social network you can reach (pick places that would/might be interested, of course. TinklyFairyland fan-forums don’t want to know about a Sci-Fi book featuring slavery and sundry horrible things) tell your friends. Tell your relatives. Spread the word. Everywhere you can.

Hell, help me come up with advertising phraseology that catches folks’ interest.

The five followers who distribute the most word will receive a free copy of the second book.

Incentivised yet?

YO! Beta-readers!

You have until THIS FRIDAY to get back to me with anything.

Then, after I finalize the premiere edition, I will be sending out the second book.

In the meantime: I would very much appreciate pithy little quotes I can attach to the cover art via twitter so I can advertise the fuck out of my own book.

I would appreciate even more, folks reblogging the cover-art shill I’m doing on a daily basis here on Tumblr.

Must generate buzz.

Dear Followers:

Yesterday (or thereabouts) you all saw this on your dashes:

This is, as you may have surmised, the cover to my first novel.

Let me tell you a little thing about this cover.

  1. It is not my work.

  2. It is the work of a very patient artist at Bespoke Book Covers.

  3. It is hella expensive.

  4. …and I’m broke.

I say “very patient” because we went through several-ty hundred revisions before we got to this. I’m

Challenge #00282: The Kindness of Strangers

In the bottom of one of the many pockets of the bag, forgotten but apparently not for that long, was a slightly battered perfectly pink apple. It had been on many journeys, and was remarkably unscathed considering how easily apples usually succumb to bumping about in a bag full of other odds and ends.

There was a face on it. A happy face made of two small circles and a larger arc. Cut into the skin by someone else’s knife.

Challenge #00269: Vamping it Up

Pierce Opal Silkyoak goes to a swanky vampire party :P

[AN: Smartarse]

She wore black, of course. Black with lots and lots of jet beads that made it shimmered in any available light. A well-selected scattering of diamonds and gold ensured that there would always, always be light.

The rest of the vamps attending the soiree showed various levels of quiet respect. Those who were her enemies backed off. Those who were her allies paid close attention to her every move. The

Pondering...

I am mulling and mentally milling an SPG fanfic.

Yeah. A daily story, a trilogy to finish [YO! Beta Readers! Get the flip back to me, OK?] and I’m pondering fanfic about a merry band of robot troubadours.

…about Rabbit becoming Bunny.

[AnditmightcontainanOCselfinsertrobotcameo]

…ahem..

Now. Given my past in the Realm of trying to write bad ideas and having them mutate into fantastic ideas… I think this is a bad idea.

Maybe I should leave it percolate

Challenge #00263: Moebius Repair

“We already fixed that”

“Wait, we fixed it too”

“We did it last night”

“How many times has it been fixed?”

*someone tallies the numbers*

“11 times, in the last 2 months”

Job #2984QEW8: Rattle in the air duct at Left Topsy-Turvy Town.

Rael’s Finder app had flagged it because it included a box of chocolates as a bonus payment. Nobody else had tagged it as theirs, so he leaped

Challenge #00260: Bubbles in History

Since you like Adventure Time (and I hope you’ve seen some of the more recent episodes, minor spoilers in prompt)

Bubblegum: Journey from Irradiated Pink Ooze to the founder of a Kingdom.

[AN: Warning - Rampant headcannon ahead]

See…

A wrecked city. It used to be called Cincinnati, before the bombs fell. The survivors braved its depths for supplies. Useful things. Food. Metals.

Feel…

It hurt to be alive. She was alive. She couldn’t leave. She

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.

Stop, in the name of cheesecake!

“Next time we’re both after the same thing…” she offered, “perhaps we can call a truce in the name of cheesecake.”

“Work out which is really the best? Sounds like a plan, then." 

Raven and Rahne meet again, not quite so "off duty” as before.  Jokingly, as part of the typical “witty banter” comicbook fights always have, one of them does call for the “cheesecake truce”, and to their surprise, the other remembers

Challenge #00231: We're Mostly Harmless, I Swear!

In case you missed it, this post happened: http://aaceofhearts.tumblr.com/post/57693374988/untitled-jazuthevulcanprincess-bogleech-its-funny

*falls to knees* I will worship you and give you my super secret world’s most awesome and diet-breaking brownie recipe if you will write anything at all inspired by this.

(I am totally serious about the brownie recipe, or any other cake recipe since I can’t deliver to your house. I do healthy food too sometimes)
