A few linty items from my Fancy Pants pockets

I have a couple of things of a self-promotional nature, begging your indulgence.

First of all, this Saturday, I will be appearing at The Richardson Public Library for the Homegrown Writers Open House and Book Signing, sponsored by the library and the Writer's Guild of Texas. We'll have some copies of the paperback to sign and sell, so if you live in the area and would like to come get a book signed in pink by Schuyler, or if you're a scary stalker and have been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, here you go. I'll even provide a map since I know how frustrating it can be to get lost on the way to a good stalking.

My second item is for Kindle users. I know that my book was available for the Kindle for a while, but was withdrawn after it was discovered that the scan of the book was sort of crappy and unreadable. I've been told that it's being redone, but I haven't heard anything in a while. Frustrating, but not much I can do but wait. Well, you know, wait and bitch. Which I appear to be doing right now.

In the meantime, however, Amazon has a new Kindle service: blog subscriptions for the Kindle. So if you've always wanted to be able to read this blog on your snazzy Kindle reader, then today, dear hipster, I am here to make your dreams come true.

Because that's what I do. I'm a giver.

  1. Done--I'm subscribed on my kindle. I wonder what you're going to do with that $1.99 of mine per month?

  2. I fully planned on stalking you this weekend in Richardson, since my hubby had to be down in Dallas this weekend anyway. Alas, we couldn't get Grandma for the weekend, so instead of letting the J-Man fend for himself I decided it might be prudent to stay home with him. I tried to get my hubby to come to Richardson, but he has some karate seminar thingy. Plus, he said "I haven't read the book yet... it would be weird".

    If I were you, I wouldn't be offended by his not reading your book yet. As much as my nagging has an effect, he tends to only gravitate to books with dragons or vampires or sword-bearing muscle men on the cover. Memoirs don't tend to be his "bag".

    Good luck this weekend

    I believe I'll see about 60 cents of that two bucks.

    But to answer your question as to what I'll spend it on? Hookers and blow, as always.

  4. Mr author sir, do we get audio rights with that book of yours so us visually disabled folks can have your book read to us... - I do hope so... It's a real crutch for the Kindle and the visually impaired.
