To Lulu, Or To CreateSpace? That Is The Question.
So as I mentioned previously, I am now in the process of putting together the print editions of Shards and Ravels. It’s been a good six years since I last did a print book (that would be Dragon Stones, of course), and while all of my previous ones were done through Lulu, I thought I might give another service a try this time — namely, CreateSpace.

The End
So over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, with a little extra time off from the job that actually pays the bills (Lord knows writing doesn’t), I finally wrapped up the last pass of editing on the conclusion of Shards — or, as I am now calling it, The “Strings” Duology:

Teaser Tuesday 12/4/2012: The Apocalypse Troll
So at the moment I’m reading a book by David Weber with the somewhat unfortunate title The Apocalypse Troll, which always makes me snicker a little, perhaps because of Dennis the Vizsla’s run-in with Obvious Troll a few years ago.

Teaser Tuesday: 8/14/2012
This week’s Teaser Tuesday is from Ghost Stories of an Antiquary: Part 2 by M.R. James. James was writing stories of ghosts (and the occasional eldritch abomination) around the turn of the previous century, and has been cited as an influence by (among others) H.P. Lovecraft. He also, as previously alluded, figures prominently in one of the Merrily Watkins books, which is what prompted me to pick up his stories. The Kindle editions of Ghost Stories of an Antiquary are currently available for the quite reasonable price of $0.00.
