Author's Check-in #11

And the agent didn't want Children of Ares. Now I'll have to dig through the listings again to see if I can send it to anyone else.

[RJDiogenes]

Aargh. Where's John Campbell when you need him?

[blablover5]

I decided to put my Tempus Interruptus: Dwarves in Space book up for pre-order.

[RJDiogenes]

Ah, cool. The prequel, if my scruffy brain remembers correctly.

Speaking of which, I'm reminded that I still haven't set up a Ko-fi account....

[blablover5]

I got invited to post a book excerpt on The Captivating Quill. Went with Undercover Siren as I don’t have anything new even close to ready to go yet.

Have to admit, that’s never happened to me before.

[RJDiogenes]

Invited? Wow, that's great. You're getting a reputation.

[blablover5]

I got it in my head to try making another moving book promo. This was hair pulling.

[RJDiogenes]

There's a lot going on. I love the rain-on-the-window effect.

[Lupine]

Smashwords paid me $1.81! Now I can order something off a value menu!

In other news I submitted Children of Ares to another agent.

[blablover5]

Woo, I got accepted into a romance anthology. Now I have to write the damn story.

Crap.

[RJDiogenes]

Smashwords paid me $1.81! Now I can order something off a value menu!

Sweet!

In other news I submitted Children of Ares to another agent.

Good luck.

Woo, I got accepted into a romance anthology. Now I have to write the damn story.

You got accepted on the strength of your reputation alone? Now that's impressive.

[blablover5]

And a link to previous work. I'm not that known.

[RJDiogenes]

You're a cult favorite.

[Lupine]

Wrote a little on Murder the World yesterday as I'm still wanting to get a re-write in to lengthen it and add more detail.

[blablover5]

In yet more bullshit from my publisher, I questioned why their marketing packages are so expensive when it doesn't add up. Suddenly they're tripling down on fun "marketing games" like this shit.
