more kindles

Amazon unveils Kindle Fire, its own tablet, as well as some other additions to the Kindle family, including a basic no-frills version for only $79.

I’m more than happy with my current selection of gadgetry (and I really do not need any more power cords and battery lives to keep track of, thanks) but I’m curious to see how these will do. What do you think?

a light repast

June 5, 2009 6 Comments

In honor of the publication of A Plague of Chicken, my upcoming blog anniversary (give or take a month), and because I’ve been plain wanting to do this for a while, I give you A Light Repast–an e-book with two humorous fantasy short stories that were written around the same time as A Plague of Chicken.

Despite the title, there is no food in either of the stories. I settled on A Light Repast because D. gave me the eyebrow when I told him that I wanted to call it Eggs Cooked Light and Fluffy. No eggs in the stories either, but they are light and fluffy, with dragons and barbarians and singing swords and unconventional princesses. And Dark Lords, but not the truly scary type.

Enjoy! As always, I love feedback of the positive kind (*wink*), so do drop me a line if you found yourself amused by these light and fluffy offerings.

Celebrate

July 15, 2008 6 Comments

Today is LAUNCH DAY of my brand-spankin’-new website. This means that I have now put the URL in my email sig line, informed friends over at LJ and Facebook of this site’s existence, and put “World’s Greatest Writer Found Here” in my meta tags. Now I just need to get out of the way of the stampeding herd, right?

Kidding aside, I have a couple things to share with all you lovely people to celebrate my moving into my virtual home. First off, I put together an e-book of short stories for you to enjoy. Here Comes the Bride was my first published short story (way back in 2003) and I will always have a soft spot for it. The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, an experiment in present tense and fractured fairy tales, is making its public debut. I love feedback, so feel free to leave some.

Second, two of my stories were accepted for publication in rapid succession in June (pause for happy dancing). Details forthcoming as soon as I know them.

Thanks for stopping by!
