Where does the time go? September? Really?
New book news: Double Share is in Ridan’s hands. Whether it comes out this month or next, I don’t know. It’s being edited and I’m waiting for the edits to come back to me for approval.
Old book news: Hard covers. The signed limited editions for Half and Full Share are still in process. I have no information from Ridan about when that process might end other than what I heard before — We’re looking for a new source. Might be an actual offset printer this time if we can find one that can do a short run. I’ll keep you posted, but all I can tell you is what I know.
New podcast news: I’m working on Cape Grace — writing it, not podcasting yet. I think it’s close to where I need to be in order to binge thru to the end. These things vex me and I never know when it’s going to click. I have to say, I’m hooked and I really need to find out what’s going to happen next…which sorta means I need to write it, and soon.
Old podcast news: Talking On My Morning Walk is still going on. I still find stuff to natter about every morning out there in the darkness. Go figure. If you want to listen to me ramble you’ll find the link in the sidebar.
New project news: I’ve started another blog — like I need more, right? It occurred to me that I’m getting a lot of requests for guest posts .. both for giving them and getting them — but that neither this blog, nor Lammas Wood are really appropriate venues for showcasing works that aren’t at least tangentially related. I’m meeting more and more interesting writers and I think some of you might find them interesting, too. Rather than have them all come here, I’ve created a new space and opened it up to creatives of all types. Expect mostly writers but I’ve already had an inquiry from a voice artist — who knows what’ll show up.
I call it “Nathan Lowell Presents” and we’ve already had a couple of posts there. I’ve got more in the wings and at least a half dozen people who’ve asked if they can play along. What I’m shooting for is part variety show, part circus act, and all entertainment. Some will take the stage with a flare, some with a bang — and some, undoubtedly, with a whimper and a splat, but keeping in the best of show business traditions — the show must go on. If you’re interested in seeing who else is playing in the indie-sphere, take a look.
And while you’re looking for new indies, take a look at what Allison has started over at Author Outbreak! Every day she features an indie author in a different genre. There’s a community that you can sign up for to participate in the forums, and a steady parade of new works coming through the doors. Take a peak and see what you link.
Finally, a word from our sponsors: Don’t forget that A Light In The Dark is available in ebook form. I’ve even set up a new store here on the Trader’s Diary where you SHOULD be able to order it direct from me and get an automatic link for downloading your choice of format. Please let me know if that widget gives you any problems.
Thanks to everyone. While I often joke around a lot here, I do appreciate all the support and encouragement you’ve offered over the years.
Ok, now I need to get back to … sigh … not writing.
