I’ve got a mailing list! A Facebook fan page is great, but Facebook is like one of the popular kids, only sending party invitations out to a select few. And by “party invitations” I mean status updates, and by “a select few” I mean a small, randomly selected percentage of people who like my author page. Although popular kids don’t choose their party guests randomly, because then I might have accidentally gotten an invitation and they wouldn’t want that. Also, you can pay Facebook to alert everybody on your page, but there’s no way I’m paying stupid Jeremy Haskell to let me come to the stupid house party he’s throwing while his stupid parents are in the Poconos. I don’t even want to go.
That metaphor got away from me a little. I have a mailing list! You can sign up and never miss an update on my new releases. I promise, no spam. I will email infrequently, only when I’ve got something important to announce, like new books or…probably just new books.
Alan Lennox and the Temp Job of Doom is available in paperback! You can order it at Amazon or at CreateSpace. Get your beach read now!
I got the paperback proof of Alan Lennox and the Temp Job of Doom this morning! Here’s me peeking out from behind the cover:
It’s a strange feeling, holding the result of a year’s work in my hands. Strange, but very satisfying! I need to check it and approve it, and then the paperback should be available to order through CreateSpace and Amazon. I’ll let you know!
This is the cover art to my new book, Alan Lennox and the Temp Job of Doom, unobscured by any of the titles. Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s by Simon Winheld, and you can see more of his art at his website, www.simonwinheld.com.
I had seen Simon’s work on publicity for a friend’s show and commissioned him to do the cover last January. I had no ideas whatsoever, so, based on some rough plot information I gave him, he drew me a couple of sketches which ultimately led to this. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and put up with all of my requests for little tweaks (which I suspect may not have been as little as he allowed me to believe). Go to his website and check out his other work!
And of course, you can buy the book at Amazon, if you haven’t already…
