An interesting opinion piece on how e-readers and ebooks are changing modern literature. Our attention spans have shortened, we’re distracted, and authors have changed their style to suit, but these changes are part of the wider digital transformation Source: Ebooks are changing the way we read, and the way novelists write | Comment is free | The Guardian
Good day, urban fantasy romance lovers! Are you ready for August yet? Meh, don’t worry. We’re not, either. Not really. No time for vacations or suntans – we’re using August to get ready for November, and the publication of the second book of “The Raven & The Iris” trilogy! To do that, we’re dropping the price of the first book, […]
You read that right. We lost our office internet connection and were offline for most of last week. Michael is our Guru of All the Internet Things, and he eventually wrangled the configuration files back into submission. Once again, we have official access to cute cat videos and the freshest news on the latest in the culture wars as potent […]
Michael and I are going to be LIVE on Rolecasters starting at 9pm EST, 6 pm Pacific, talkiing about Raven’s Tears, the world of Menelon, the nexus of fantasy RPGs and fiction, and whatever else they’ll let us get away with. We’ve never done a PG-rated live-stream before, I’m NSFW at the best of times, and it’s all going down […]
It’s the weekend, kids. Go break some rules if you want. Just remember: Breaking the right rules can result in the adventure of a lifetime. Breaking the wrong rules usually results in an arrest record. If you wanted to talk about some favorite rule-breaking memories in the comments, I’ll join you. I’ve got a treasure hoard of them, and I […]
This week, we launched our second publication. So far, Michael’s novella has peaked at #3 in Amazon’s “Action/Adventure – War” category. Well done! It’s the last day of the giveaway. There’s no better way to get an introduction to the fantasy world of Menelon than a FREE ebook, is there? Be sure to get yours before the giveaway promo ends! […]
How hot does your fire burn? Mine is burning kind of low today, I must confess it. I’d wanted to join in on the #rpgchat discussion on Twitter earlier, but it’s difficult to shake free of all the preparatory chopping that has to be done. Not complaining – I just need to do better at organizing my Thursdays. We’re taking […]
One last word cloud and I mean to be done until Dead Man’s Trigger is ready to go. I needed, I just had to see how the intensity of that final scene in Raven’s Tears came out as a word cloud. My jaw dropped when I saw it. Clicking on it should give you a larger image, so you can […]
Okay, so Tagul Word Clouds are plenty awesome, too. May I present their version of the word cloud for chapter one of Raven’s Tears. Wow. I may have to get that one done on a shirt, or mug. Michael and I had a moment as we were reviewing each other’s work for the day where we kinda looked up and […]
So. According to WordItOut, this is what the first chapter of Raven’s Tears looks like. I can like that a lot. There are meta-things to be discussed about the so-called “random” placement of those words, eh? This is probably my last reminder abou tthe 99 cent sale. It ends at midnight. If you don’t get yours for this stupidly cheap […]
