Sorry I’m a day late announcing this; I ended up being out of town much longer than expected yesterday, thanks to a short-cut that turned out to be a long-cut. (and you can be SURE that’ll end up in a book somewhere, someday. Oh, the stories I could tell…) Anyway… /clears throat We’re starting something new this month: a monthly giveaway. These are separate from any other giveaway we run here or on Facebook or anywhere else. These run all month long, every month. We even made a special page on the site for these special giveaways. Each month there’ll be a new prize up for grabs. For kickoff, we’re… Read More

Okay, so Mr. Silver is officially home, which is awesome. I was so excited to think that this morning I would be able to regroup, dig in and get some work done. Yeah. Mr. Silver hasn’t been home for more than a few days at a stretch in 14 months. Apparently, he has a long list of things he’d like to do around the house. All of which are noisy. o.O Halp.

Here’s the best picture we’ve managed thus far… And now I REALLY need to get back to work. Have a great Monday!

The great news: Mr. Silver will officially move home this coming Friday. The not-so-great news: I just had to kitten-proof an entirely different room so I could move my office back where it used to be. I feel like a sardine in here. Off to finish moving stuff back to where it used to be. #sigh #trudge

I’ll be uploading some Season Two changes today. Among those changes are covers. I’m not sure how long it will take for changes to take effect across all retailers, but it should happen within the next couple days. New covers look like this:

Normally I would post this kind of thing on Monday, but I’ve got so much going on tomorrow morning that I’m doing it tonight. Here are the new cover drafts. Let us know what you think!
Continue ReadingKindle Unlimited Issue
This issue is making the rounds through several self-publishing groups I frequent, and I figured more of us ought to give our fellow readers a heads-up warning as well: This issue concerns a Kindle Unlimited exploit perpetrated by dubious authors. If you are not a member of Kindle Unlimited, this will in no way affect you. FACT: In order for an author to be paid for a their content in the Kindle Unlimited program, a reader must download their work AND read past the 10% mark. That part is awesome. But beware: Certain clever, entrepreneurial folks (read: scheming shitheads) have uploaded and enrolled very short book-files into the Kindle Unlimited… Read More

Joy has been at it again. Prepare to see some revised Season Two covers, coming soon. I’ve seen the drafts, and I’m so excited. They’re perfect for this series. Meanwhile, revisions on Hellfire continue. Can we make some kind of law that I am allowed at least three uninterrupted work hours a day? Holy crap, what an insane couple of months! Emma is threatening to lock me in my office because my crazy schedule is steamrolling her even crazier schedule. *cringe* Have a great weekend!

Things have been a bit wild around here this last week. Our tornado was actually straight-line winds. Important distinction, but still a huge mess to clean up. Or at least I would have been cleaning up if not for the emergency trip to my parents’ into the equation. This left my kids on their own, including a 16-yr-old who has fallen in love with the chainsaw. Not nerve-wracking at all. Today, I need to regroup and prioritize raking, writing and preparing a whole bunch of upcoming website changes I’ve been putting off for way too long. Please to send chocolate, coffee, and handsome minions.

I was all set to get back to “normal” work schedule today. Here’s how I woke up: “Um, Mom? There’s a tornado warning. It’s hailing on my truck.” (The one where The Nights Of Yes almost comes true) If you need me, I’ll be in the yard cleaning up cottonwood.
