I've Been Released! WOO HOO!

By -

Hello my friends! Today is the official release of my debut novel, Tempest Rising. It's all very exciting, and I'm celebrating by going crazy . . . with work! For book three is due in a few months, and I'm having WAY too much fun writing this thing. I think I am finally getting the hang of this fiction dealie, and Tempest's Legacy is coming on a treat.

In the mean time, don't forget there's still a contest in the works over at my site, and TWO $25 gift certificates are still up for grabs!

I've also been keeping track of all the reviews that are posted of TR, here, so if you're not sure whether or not you want to read it, maybe these opinions will help.

There's also going to be some more cool stuff coming at my site, including some shenanigans with the
AMAZING Gail Carriger, author of Soulless, the book to most recently rock my casbah. I'm also planning a rather outrageous contest with prizes donated by my awesome colleagues here at the league, with Dakota Cassidy hosting. Finally, for those of you in the Arklatex area, don't forget that Jaye Wells and I are kicking it old school here at the Shreveport Barnes and Noble on November 7th. There will be cookies, snark, prizes, some readings, more snark, and then a signing! Which can involve snark, at your request. Come on over and see us!

So Tempest Rising is launched! Let the count down to Tracking the Tempest Begin!

Very cool cover for the second book! Not quite as tranquil as the first, but it kicks serious butt!

It's your new theme song ;)

I'm going to swing by one of our beloved local indie bookstores today and see if they still have a copy

Thanks, everybody! YAY!

Eda: You're right, it IS THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN. Thanks so much for that. I do accept diamonds. You're a dear!

Thom: I can't get it to work! Email it to me?

One of my favorite reads in along time! I have already turned into that "crazy lady" at Barnes & Noble who follows strangers around in the sci-fi section suggesting they give it a try. Absolutly LOVED this book. Wish I knew when Tracking the Tempest was coming out. My OCD is demanding I put the release date on my calander!

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
