*crickets chirp again*

Yeah, nothing much to see here. Move along!

An experiment!

Upon hearing how someone has sold a bunch of her novels and novellas at 99 cents per e-book…and she’s sold a lot of them…well, it got me to thinking.

Deathless was originally $2.99, and I’ve had some decent sales, but would I get more if it were cheaper?

Let’s find out.

For the month of March Deathless is 99 cents. WHAT A DEAL. So let’s see if sales increase, because I’d rather have a lot of sales at 99 cents than a few sales at $2.99.

*crickets chirp*

Yeah, I got nothing to talk about right now except for a bitof an update of what I’m reading and short stories for sale.

An Update!

Working for a warehouse again. It’s a temp job, but I’m enjoying it a lot more than the last temp job, so maybe this’ll be a permanent thing.

I essentially sort media for shipping. Books, DVDs, CDs, it’s all good. And easy once you know what you’re doing.

In other news, I’m over 18,000 words on the novella. Progress can be slow going, but some progress is better than no progress.

The Status of the Geekboy

Taking a break from the jobsearching to update this here little journal. How might all you be doing? I’m currently between temp jobs, so life is a bit hectic. I like having money, you know…

Writing Progress: FINISHED!

The short story I was working on, The Species of Rivals, is now complete at 10,028 words. Which was 28 words over my goal.

Not too bad. Now to get it edited, then I can do the second draft.

For Those Going to SDCC…

SDCC being the San Diego Comic Con, mind you!

Sofawolf Press will be at ComicCon, their booth # is 1236.  They will have Dungeons & Denizens volumes 1 and 2 and the first Carpe Diem trade paperback.

The convention starts Thursday July 22nd. If you’re going be sure to stop by and purchase a few copies of my books. If they sell well, you bet they’ll start carrying them to all the conventions they attend.
