I love shiny objects!!!Some of his others are for sale, just in case you're wondering what to get your favorite sci-fi fanatic, or steampunk lover in your life. Or me. My birthday is in August (hint, hint).
Random #EPICFAIL of the Week: Another author NOT having a website.
Really, how many times am I going to repeat this people? If I like your story in an ezine, magazine, anthology, or on the shelf in novel form I want to find out what else you write. No website = no way to find you.
I'm so mad! I love a certain series, the author's note at the back says she intends to write more and expand the original trilogy. And... nothing. No web presence. Nothing on her author page at amazon.com. N-O-T-H-I-N-G
My sad conclusion is that this author never published a book four. She might be dead. Maybe her books didn't sell. I don't understand why not, everyone keeps borrowing the three I have. But, who knows.
Before you publish, get on the net. Even if it's just a free blog like this. Get out here, get your name on Google, and tell me where I can pay money to read your work. No exceptions!
*deep breath*
*puts soap box away*
So.... What's your random?
I like this: tell me where I can pay money to read your work.
