Well, for all of you that were getting excited for The Hive, you may now be doubly excited, because there were just simply too many situations and plots tangled into one novel, so I split it in half, and there are now two books to follow Wolf Prints:
The Eight, and The Code.
Neither book is connected or has anything to do with each other except for my recurring character, Silvy Brown, who is actually making a big time apearance in The Eight. I am afraid there is no estimated completion date for either new book, but Wolf Prints seems to be getting well along to find a publisher for by July -hopefully.
As for Megacon, I am completely prepared to take both paperback and CD copies of Diamond Heels: Special Edition. I have had requests to dress up as my favorite "whatever-makes-a-nerd-a-nerd-character," so one may or may not find a spazz dressed as Princess Toadstool form the Super Mario Universe or perhaps even Lydia from the very book I am trying to sell. However, I say this entirely enthusiastically and theoretically, because I am unsure whether I am actually bave enough to handle such potential humiliation. Although, this being a sci-fi convention, I may very well blend right in adorned as a fictional character and rather stand out dressed civily. Then again, I do want to draw attention, don't I? What a complex situation I make of something so trivial! I likely will not dress up, just so save myself premature gray hair. I'm sorry, my adoring fans. ...Okay, I lie, I will likely swing full-nerd and dress as either Lydia from Diamond Heels or Tariste from The Code. Forgive me now-not-so-adoring-fans. I will comfort myself by having William Shatner (sp?) sign my daughter's Captain Kirk one-sie.
The prices for Lulu, my loathed self-publishing site, have sky-rocketed once again, making it harder for me (not to mention all my desperate fans/customers) to afford my book. While the customer must pay nearly $20 for the paperback copy, Lulu gets all proceeds while I earn an entire cent. Rediculous, no? Be glad I am puplishing me next several books with real publishers, who will not re-configure the format one last time immediately after saving the perfect file as required to the lulu.com site.
The above will be affecting the prices of my wares at megacon as follows: I am selling the paperback books for $20 (I am actually losing money this way, what with the equally risen shipping charges) and selling the CDs for a not so terrible $5. As the day wears on, the prices will be less rock solid and I will bend for best offer. For you lucky people getting this tidbit of information ahead of time, you may as well take advantage it! Honestly, my only wish is for people to buy my book. Heck, if I could afford it, I would give it away freely. Just read it! Haha, in other words, I am happy for bargainers. Take advantage of it, folks!
Well, there is the current list of updates. Be blessed, all, and have a fantastic weekend!
