Another holiday has come and gone. I was lucky enough this year to spend it with both of my sons, but now it’s over and I’m back to work.
The holiday ebook sale is over, too. Thanks to everyone who participated. Many of you are wondering where the ebooks Deadite Press promised would be out in time for Christmas are. I don’t know. I have the same information you have. So stop asking me. (And don’t be like that jackass on Twitter and the Deadite forums, who, had he simply been polite, would have had a much different experience. Taking to Twitter and spewing a tirade at the author on Christmas fucking Day when he’s trying to spend time with his loved ones is not going to win you any sympathy from the author. Nor will threatening the moderator of the Deadite forums, or the moderator’s wife).
But I am happy to announce that, following the success of Alone and Scratch, The Girl on the Glider will be my next foray into digital self-publishing. It’s being formatted now, and you should see it for Kindle, Nook, and Kobo sometime in January.
In between helping my 4-year old play with his new action figures and helping my 22-year old play with his new Magic: The Gathering cards, I finalized my annual Top Ten list. I’ll probably post it tomorrow. Friday at the latest. Click here to peruse the lists from previous years.
In other writing news, new novel The Lost Level is almost complete, and the new author’s preferred edition of The Rising is coming along well.
I hope you all had a good holiday season. Here’s hoping that 2013 is better for us all. I appreciate your continued support. Thanks to all of you (again, except for that douche-bag on Twitter and the Deadite forums).
I just want to hug you ugh I’m so excited for Girl on the Glider and the Rising. Amoung other things.
Looking forward to Girl on the Glider! At least it was just ONE douche-bag yesterday and not the many that crawled out of the woodwork if a Deluge installment was a day late. But, yeah….that was pretty douche-y.
I love The Girl On The Glider!
Happy Holidays, Brian, and thanks for taking time during this busy time to update your loyal legions. I’m shocked that a supposed “fan” would be such a douche-nozzle…but then again, this time o’ the year tends to bring out the best and worst in people. Bring on 2013!
Though the aforementioned douche-bag’s response to the situation regarding these long-delayed ebooks was unacceptable, his frustration is understandable. In the future, I hope Deadite does right by you and your readers by releasing digital editions of your work in a timely manner. It’s difficult not be frustrated by this endless series of delays, especially considering how quickly and effortlessly you seem to be self-publishing novellas from your backlist.
On that note, I’m very excited for “Girl on the Glider”. I hope you keep the self-published digital content coming.
Keep writing and we’ll keep doing our best to support you (and learn from your work…and your work ethic).
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Great, cant wait to fill up my new Kindle with Keene goodies. Hoping you have a happy new year!
Happy Holidays and thanks for all that you do for your readers. Just got my kindle and will be buying Alone and Scratch very soon!
Is it just me or has Lost Level taken you a while to write? Seems like you’ve been working on this one for a while.
I’m excited to hear about the imminent release of THE GIRL ON THE GLIDER. That brightens up my holiday.
Happy Holidays. Glad to hear you got to spend time with your sons. Also I love the updated header/banner. It really grabs your attention.
Shadowtron: No, it’s not just you. It *has* taken me a long time to write. Not sure why. Maybe because it’s more sword and sorcery than it is horror, and thus, outside my comfort zone. I dunno.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Got Scratch for Christmas. Sweet.
Can’t wait for the Lost Level! Girl on the Glider was a good read, glad that it came out in the Maelstrom II set so I didn’t have to spend a gazillion dollars on eBay for the standalone novella. A Conspiracy of One was a great collection.
Shame on that jack who was a bitch on Christmas Day of all times. Seriously, just wait a little longer and all will be fine. I have some pre-orders I’ve wondered about, but finally got emails that they will be shipping soon, not like I flipped my shit. Sometimes it just takes a little longer, especially around the holidays.
Have a great New Years Brian, and don’t blow your hand off with a firework!
The slow publication of the 2 books is frustrating and seems pretty strange.
Maybe there was a shipping delay on electrons due to sunspots?
I am glad to see there will be something Keene to read out soon though.
Hey, awesome t-shirt, give me some links where I can buy it, thanks anyway
Best all
