Out and About
I’m not going to be moving around the country a lot this year. Being a full time author means I won’t be traveling to the Day Job Conventions any more. I am still planning some events, however:
October 9, 2010 Indie Writer’s Workshop Panel, Denver CO
October 22-24, 2010 MileHiCon 42 Denver CO
May 27-30, 2011 BaltiCon 45 Baltimore MD

Yea .. I’m missing Canada. I haven’t been north of the border for a couple of years. Back before I needed a passport. Got the passport, but haven’t managed a northward trip for too long. Someday, before too long, I hope.

How a about coming over to the UK? Now you have a passport there is nothing stopping you. We can show you the sights and a pub or 2, all you now is to get here and bring ‘Double Share’.

Thats a ditto. Come up to the North Bay and visit Sebastopol, CA. My wife and I will put you up and feed you as well. Love your tales. I have just started Double Share and when finished with that I’ll start South Gate. Thank you for your talent and sharing it with the rest of the world. Can’t wait to meet you.

No worries, George. It’s the nature of the beast.
Ken, I usually get to LA about once a year, but the convention I attend there has moved its home city to San Diego for next year, but I’ll certainly let people know when I’m traveling.
Kirk and Steve, I get to SF so rarely, I can’t predict when I might be traveling there again.
Ojak, the UK is on my List Of Places to Get To. I have no idea when/how that might happen but there’s several people and places I want to see and if I ever head across the pond, know that I’ll make much of it here.
Meantime, I’m at BaltiCon at Hunt’s Vally, MD and starting Saturday with a writing workshop run by Mur Lafferty. This should be a blast.

When and if you make it to Canada, continue on then and visit ojak in the UK. Then continue on to Germany. You have a place to hang your hat for a visit.

I wanted to get print versions of your books for Christmas to use as presents. I know many of my family and friends who would love your books as much as I do. I can’t locate print versions, sad. I was hoping for a Lulu or some other press version. Maybe a disc set. Hate to take the download with out paying the Author. Tip jar? I will have to look at Podiobooks to see about paying. Thanks If you do have a print copy please let me know where to find it. Lucy

Text versions are not currently available.
I expect to have them available soon, but maybe not in time for Christmas.
There *is* a donate button on Podiobooks.com – on the title page for each book.
And thank you. Yours isn’t the first request for text and i’m re-thinking my text strategy even as I’m writing the next book.

If you need transportation while in ATL, I can lend you my car. It’s not fancy but it will get you around.

I very much enjoyed “Ravenwood” when I listened using iTunes. However, when I got to the final episode, the narration just stopped before the story had completely ended. It was truncated. I don’t think much was missing, but there was definitely something missing. I wondered if the advertisement placed at the the beginning of the recording for “Young Junius” had anything to do with this. I thought you might like to know. I hope you can fix this. Thank you for your excellent writing.

Let me look, but i think the whole file is there.

I just checked the source, The file is correct and complete.
I think the problem is that if you’re playing it IN the iTunes music store without downloading it first, they truncate playback at 45 minutes and that one episode (out of the whole book) is about 47 minutes long.
Subscribe to the book — it’s free. And just download the last episode.
OR
Go to the Ravenwood page at Podiobooks and scroll to the bottom of the page. All the episodes are listed there and you should be able to grab the link to the episode 16 mp3 file.

Hello
I see only Quarter Share available on ebook. I’m about done, and looking forward to the rest. Will the rest be available here as well? I’m not so much a fan of listening to books.
Thanks!

Oh, oh, oh, oh! Can I tempt you to come to Canada! I’ll take you whale watching and show you those dolphins that Ish is connected to. My favourite dolphin is the world’s largest dolphin, orcinus orca, otherwise known as “orca”, “killer whale”. Every summer since 2003, we’ve journeyed to visit the Northern Resident orca population. This year is planned for Aug. 23 – 30. I know it might not fit into your schedule but you can go most anytime between late June and late Sept. and most be guaranteed of seeing them. And everytime you mention whelkies in your stories, I always think of the pebbles that line special beaches that the orcas use to rub against. They are smooth and satiny and evoke a feeling of connectedness to the world when you touch them.
