Post #200

I know there are other things going on, but I like to make anniversary posts something special, so:

There’s a new hero in town, a young woman who calls herself Redblade, with a magic sword and a knack for finding trouble. Michiko, the Monkey Queen, couldn’t be happier…but her partner Beth is feeling envious.

Meanwhile, Beth has made a new friend, Abigail Drake, a fangirl who may be attending Beth’s college…and Michiko is feeling jealous.

But Abby has a secret…she is Redblade.

And that secret, and the sword she carries, may lead to the Monkey Queen’s doom.

Redblade. Monkey Queen Book Five. Fall 2015.

Craig Hansen needs your help

Indie author Craig Hansen is recovering from a stroke he suffered earlier this month. He’s been a poster on the writers and readers’ forum I frequent, KBoards, and a friend to many in the indie publishing category. He and his family are facing medical and other expenses in the weeks ahead, and friends of his have started a GoFundMe drive to help. You can also buy his books at Amazon to support him. Thanks for reading, and please share and spread the word.

Willow, The Journey Of Earth, and you!

Willow, the awesome artist who does the awesome covers for the Monkey Queen books, has just launched a crowdfunding campaign to get her BD/comic, The Journey Of Earth, collected as a graphic novel! The only drawback is that it’s in French (so you’re actually backing Le Voyage de Terre), but even $6 plus postage gets you a postcard and a thank-you by email (and add a pinback button for about $2 more)! And if this succeeds, there will probably be an English version later! So don’t delay! Head to the Ulule crowdfunding site and help Willow get the adventures of Earth, Moon and their friends in print!

And he thought he heard the echoes of a pennywhistle blog

Sunday catchup, and the big news is that Willow has just put up the first few pages of her BD/comic, The Journey Of Earth! The dialogue is in French, but you can get the gist of what’s going on, and the art is just as wonderful as you’d expect! (And she’ll be working shortly on an English translation!) Go look!

More after the cut. Continue reading →

a major announcement

I’ve decided to take the first steps towards moving the Monkey Queen books into Kindle Unlimited. This will mean that they’ll only be available on Amazon. I’ll write a longer explanation later as to why this is being done, but I wanted to alert you that if you wanted to buy any of the books from anywhere that wasn’t Amazon, you should do it in the next 24 hours. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause.

Neil Gaiman, powerful big rats, and telling your stories

WARNING: To make this blog post work, I’m going to have to give away a little secret I’ve had going in all the Monkey Queen books to date. If you don’t want to be spoiled, skip this post. If you don’t mind it, read on after the cut. Continue reading →

they tell me there’s a lot of fish, blogging in the deep blue sea

First, a plug for a friend: Shei Darksbane, the co-founder of Darksbane Books, is getting ready to launch their first titles, Shei’s urban fantasy Awakened, and the space opera Destiny Abounds by her wife Annathesa Nikola Darksbane. You should head to their website now and sign up for their mailing list so you can be the second one to grab their books when they’re released (second since I’ll be trying to be the first). I’m biased, since Shei is an awesome pal, but I’m also excited for them both. Go! We’ll be here when you get back.

Willow alert!

No, it’s not what happens on the Enterprise when they run into the Space Cats. We mentioned earlier this month that Willow and her friends in Collectif Pin Up were at the Geekopolis con in Paris last weekend, but they have another con appearance this weekend! They’ll be at Epitanime, in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre just outside of Paris. There’ll be lots of anime-related panels and vendors there as well, so if you’re in the area (or have the money to splurge on a last-second plane ticket), drop on by! More info here.
