The Goblin Road e-book Now Only 99 Cents!

Who knew that you could squash the vile hopes of dark-hearted pixies at the same time as you entertain yourself reading The Goblin Road, now with the cost of a measly 99 cents?(I did, actually, but I don’t want to come off as a know-it all, so I won’t say this aloud. Parentheses, after all, make these words unspoken. Shhhh.)

So you’ve decided that, even though you love the feel of pages in a paperback or hard cover, you love trees enough to buy a e-book reader. Perhaps it’s a Kindle or perhaps its a Nook, or maybe even a Kookle. In any case, I am afraid to be the bearer of bad news. Your collection is missing a book. The book you need, that will save you countless hours of stress and entertain you in the meantime, is The Goblin Road. (I happen to have it on good authority that it’s pretty entertaining. After all, I wrote it to entertain myself.)

This book is so important, that without it, your e-shelves may fall apart, spilling your e-books onto your e-floor.

You do not want this to happen.

I am here to help remedy this problem.

I have an amazing magical spell that works this way: I will type a link after this sentence, and it will magically transport you to a place you can buy The Goblin Road e-book for a mere 99 cents.

STORE (Otherwise known as the place you can buy the book that will save your e-library)

You’re welcome. Oh, and if you’ve dropped your e-reader into the bathtub and have therefore decided that there’s nothing as good as a real book that you can hold in your hands, you can buy that in the store too. Perhaps you’ll want both. Just in case. The pixies won’t like it, but I will.

The Sad Death of Libraries and Bookstores

Libraries and bookstores aren’t dead, yet.

I’m saddened to believe, however, that it’s inevitable. Last time I was in a bookstore, the e-book section had expanded. There were e-book readers you could buy, and there were computer stations with e-book listings that you could order for download. Basically it seems you could walk out of that store with a new e-book reader and a new collection of e-books in it. Pricey initial purchase, but after that, not really costly any more. [Read more →]

A New Year, A New Resolve

Resolutions. People either love them or hate them. I’m not going to bother looking for research on the stats of what percentage of people keep the resolutions they set for a new year. Most, by now, seem to skip making resolutions and say “I don’t make them because I never keep them” or “I don’t make them because you shouldn’t wait until a specific day, you should just do it now!” [Read more →]
