    GOOD CHEER HOLIDAY BUNDLE…

    This Just Went Live!!! That’s right, just tonight, and I think this is an amazingly special bundle of holiday stories of all kinds and types. Perfect reading for this holiday season in so many ways. And one of the coolest things in this bundle is a book that explains the importances and contains all of The Santa Claus Stories by L. Frank Baum. Yes, the Wizard of OZ L. Frank Baum. With all his Santa Claus stories, he helped cement the images and traits we take for granted now for Santa Claus. And now, for the first time ever, they are gathered together and reprinted in one book, WITH ALL…

    A Day of Naps… And Magic, Monsters, and Myths Storybundle

    I Even Managed a Few Emails… Not Many… Mostly just kept sprawling out on the bed and passing out every hour or so. Watched some television, napped, did a few emails, napped, got some steps, napped. Tomorrow I should be back to half-human. But I got something I need to remind you all about tonight, before I pass out yet again. Since this will be done late today, I need to tell you that I have a book in the Storybundle Magic, Monsters, and Myths that Kris curated. The books in this bundle are amazing. Maybe one of the better bundles I have seen in a while, to be honest.…

    Licensing… Oh, My…

    Taking A Day Or Two Away From the Novel… I will be back on Monday talking about my regular routine, but for today and tomorrow I don’t want to have to push the book into a small place and time as I have been doing. I want to give it more time. So going to get a ton of workshop and business stuff done first, then focus on the run to the end of the book. But in the mean time, licensing… It has now been suggested that we all wear face masks when going out. Now that “suggestion” from medical folks doesn’t mean we should all go out and…

    Fantastic New StoryBundle

    How Many Worlds Can Be Saved? I set off to put this Storybundle called Saving the World together with a goal. I wanted to find as many ways as possible to save the world and as many worlds as possible to save. I figured that would be really fun for me to read and I hoped that a lot of you would feel the same. And what I was lucky enough to end up with is eight novels and two major collections of short stories, all fantastic. And fun. And on top of that, four of the books in this bundle can ONLY be found in this bundle. That’s right,…

    Space Travelers Bundle Going Away

    Last Few Hours…  Today (Thursday) is it!!! Sector Justice: A Seeders Universe novel is in this one. It stands completely alone. Basically a Star Trek like sf novel with a focus on cool space adventure, romance and some sex. Go figure. (grin) And it is a little longer than my normal novel these days. Kristine Kathryn Rusch put this bundle together and it’s a great bundle with some great books, stories, and writers. You can get it on Storybundle.
