I'm (pre-) published!

While waiting for my official STRUCK release date of July 10th to be published, my publisher opened up a website to sell novels directly to the public. And they have STRUCK right on the front page, available for purchase! At a 20% discount!!

I'm published (or at least pre-published). Either way, I'm smiling.

The website is here: http://www.rcedirect.com/. To go directly to STRUCK's order page, click the logo below.

In other news, I sent out my first email newsletter, and judging by responses, it was a big success. It won't come out often -- quarterly, most likely -- so I won't be overwhelming your inbox, only sharing new releases and news about my writing. If you want to sign up for future issues, there's a sign up form near the top of this blog to the right. It's easy to unsubscribe at any time. You can view it here.

That's it for now. This is a busy and exciting time for me. Now that I've shared my latest excitement, I must get busy again.

THE day has arrived

Me holding STRUCK, my first novel published. I was unwashed, unshaven, and tired and sweaty from having just finished a run, but that's the moment the books arrived and the moment I wanted to capture. Glad I did.

I still have to wait until July 10th before copies go on sale, but at least now I have something to hold on to until then.

STRUCK, the poster

Here's the poster my amazingly talented webgod made for me with help from amazingly talented Donna Pawlowski's cover graphic and amazingly talented author Greg Lilly's blurb and amazingly talented promotion/author/freelance graphic designer Cullan Hudson's two line summary. Imagine a big version of this sitting beside a stack of my novels at my book signings. Will it help me sell that stack?

And geeze, I have a lot of amazingly talented folks helping me. How lucky am I?
