Partially inspired by another author on my flist doing this, and partially just because I'm bored and curious, a poll! This covers all of my series, because going over my standalone stories would just take too long. If you want to vote for characters like Emerson Bishop, click "Other" under Squire's Isle and leave their name in the comments. You ( Read more... )

Is everyone ready for a contest? That's right, a contest. And the prize is something very, very special indeed.

On March 15, my novel The Rise and Fall of Radiation Canary is coming out as an ebook. I can't wait. I'm so proud of this novel that I actually sat down and read it straight through earlier this month. I love all four of the band members ( Read more... )

Do any of my friends live in or near Oakland? This story was written for a fiction contest being held by a bookstore called Book Passage. The prize is for two tickets to a Josh Ritter concert in Oakland. I'd love to go, but the expense of getting to Oakland kind of makes the free tickets moot. But it's a writing contest, and I had the idea, so I ( Read more... )

Hi, all ( Read more... )

This was written by request (thanks, jello_o!) for a meme! It's going to be part of a separate Radiation Canary novel called "Bonus Tracks," which features short stories based in the world of my novel The Rise and Fall of Radiation Canary (available for Kindle March 15!). For those of you who don't know, Codie Renton is based on Agam Darshi and Nick Young ( Read more... )

I'm not sure where this goes. Is it just a Squire's Isle story? Is it part of the 'Squire's Isle Christmas 2012' thing I've been trying/failing to put together? Is it part of Radiation Canary Bonus Tracks? It fits nicely in that last one since Radiation Canary is pretty well represented in the story, but I don't know if it's stand-alone enough to ( Read more... )

This is part of a Radiation Canary sequel/side novel that I'm putting together called Radiation Canary - Bonus Tracks. It will be made up of short stories of fans, side characters, friends, family members, etc. who encounter the band Radiation Canary in some way, shape, or form. Since the novel covers about a decade, there are obviously a LOT of ( Read more... )

Now that the novel is completely up and a few people have read the ending, I can ask... did anyone notice a cameo by everyone's favorite canidae private investigator? ;D I said that Radiation Canary exists in both Squire's Isle and Underdogs universes, but I didn't explain why. It's because Ari Willow is actually in one scene ( Read more... )

I think I can safely say this is now my longest novel ever. EVER. I'll say again, one of the reasons it took me so long to start is because I didn't think I had enough for a novel. I thought, "Maybe I should just do a few Radiation Canary one-shots." I thought, "Well, I'll wait for inspiration." Looks like inspiration was just waiting for me to ( Read more... )
