I'm polishing up 5 [yes, FIVE] separate novels for immanent release on Amazon/Kindle publishing services. Things have just gotten to the point where I really want to start getting my name out there, get people to reading what I've written and maybe attract some attention. If not...well...I tried, better luck next time.

The first one I'm starting with is Murder at the End of the World, a little mystery novel with a dash of Lovecraftian dark fantasy for that extra bit of spice. It started life as an experiment, to see if I could craft a self-contained novel that largely takes place in one location and follow one character exclusively. Went with mystery because it was a genre I hadn't tackled before and wanted to test myself. Lovecraftian dark fantasy because, hey, who doesn't like a little of that in their life? It's a bit on the short side at 46k words, but it feels right so I'm not going to try to pad it out just for the sake of numbers.

Hopefully I can get the last few details wrapped up on my final edit and get this out there by the end of this week, maybe early next week. I am excite!

Also, read this, if you want:

Now Pit's gotta deal with it.

Seriously, who do they think this is going to affect? Anyone who won't buy the game because it doesn't look gritty or dark enough isn't going to be impressed just because now the cartoon angel has a scowl.

Half of me wishes they'd just go all out and give it completely different entirely unrepresentative box art like they did for NES games in the 80's. At least then their attempt to make it dark and "cool" would come across as "all in" instead of a pointless gesture. I mean yeah it'd still be stupid, but it would at least be some effort. Maybe something like this:

Today you showed me exercises I can do to make my penis bigger. I typed in three letters! All I'm saying is let me type in a whole word before you jump to such a bold conclusion!

Penis push ups anyone? How about some dildo darts. :)

It would be very, very good news if they actually stick to this and it doesn't happen, that's for sure...

Given how well he polls against Obama I hope that he doesn't, and the Republicans keep fighting for some time.

And while we're at it, a much less electable nominee might not be too bad, as long as they don't actually win in the end... :)

Following the Republican nomination campaign has been interesting though, seriously. When your most moderate people running are Mormon governors you know you have an extremist field... but despite that Republicans are quite unhappy with their choices. I can kind of see that, but hey, the other people didn't want to run.

The least crazy Republican is clearly Huntsman, but there's no way he wins, he's far too moderate for today's Republican party. Oh, he'll probably do okay today in NH, but in the South he doesn't have a chance.

Is to replace ASCII with combinations of dildos and rubber ducky's..
So for now on the space bar is 2 dildos and a duck. Spread the word!

Quote:"Unlike 2K Marin's previously announced XCOM shooter, which sparked tempers among longtime fans for turning its back on the series' cerebral roots, this title is a full-on strategy game that puts players in command of a global anti-alien defense force," Game Informer said.

Quote:Firaxis' XCOM has destructible tactical environments, and fuses a real-time strategic view with turn-based combat.
