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 tonight 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 […]
This week, we launched our second publication. So far, Michael's novella, Fire Mission I: Bagédaan 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 […]
Today, we live in air conditioned houses or flats in concrete jungles, and travel in air conditioned cars and buses and planes. Natural disasters not withstanding, weather is usually little more than a minor irritation or point of idle conversation. It didn't use to be that way. When it was cold, it was hard to keep warm. When it was hot, there were few ways to cool down. To travel, you had to be out in the weather. Weather was a fact of life - for everybody!
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 the 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 let's revisualize chapter one. 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 […]
Visualize Raven's Tears Chapter 1. According to WordItOut, this is what it 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 price, don't […]
Raven's Tears featured on Goodkindles again yesterday. Did you see it? It's still only 99 cents through midnight PDT - after that, it returns to its $4.99 list price. I think I'm going to look into posting an excerpt for loyal readers tomorrow. You've got that long to give me feedback on what you'd like to see. What would pique […]
This quote sums up like 90% of my depressive episodes, right here. Substitute "depression" for "darkness" and you have it. I wonder if this is true for writers in general, that our depressive bouts are generally due to being lost in an inner world without words? Still with that three-day sale - Raven's Tears is doing well with Kindle lovers […]
