photo by Montse Monmo So far, my KDP Select experience for Headless has not been great. In fact, it hasn't even been good. I did a Kindle Countdown Deal in the US, along with a some Facebook and Instagram advertising, and made three sales. Three. And I’m pretty certain those sales were from people I actually …
photo by Sergey Zolkin Instead of working on the sequel to Headless today, I got bogged down in the wisdom that I should be posting on my blog at least once a week. According to Hugh Howey, it should be every day! Add to that the fact that I have somehow ended up with two …
My book, Headless, is on Amazon at a deep discount right now. Currently 99 cents (Kindle version only), and will go up in one dollar increments over the next few days until it's back to full price. Grab your copy now! About Headless: A serial killer in Japan leaves behind an ancient samurai mask. What …
photo by Jim Digritz The downstairs neighbor woke me up with a text. Is your sink clogged? Not that I’m aware of, I reply. Kitchen sink? Yup. So I check. I drag out of bed and run it for a couple of minutes. Seems fine, I text back. I wait, hoping in vain, knowing what’s …
I found another one of Akio's journal entries from just a few weeks before the events in Headless. It's kind of personal, but at this point, he's probably okay with me sharing it. Considering all he's been through, I'm sure a little maudlin complaining about a past girlfriend is one of the least of his …
You might think this is a post about a new American policy toward immigration, but no… HEADLESS HAS AN OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE. It will be here very, very soon. Am I nervous? Hell, yes. But extremely excited too. It’s going to be released on that second most terrible day this year when the world …
Akio Tsukino at his journal. Everyone thinks I’m stupid. Maybe I am. I try to cover it up with wisecracks and goofing around. But that just makes it worse. Maybe if I was deadly serious all the time. Like Masami. Maybe if I could just focus on my work and tune everyone else out like …
So...uh...Wordpress? Can I talk to you for a minute? Uh...yeah, it's kinda serious. No, it won't be pleasant, but we can't ignore it any longer. We have to talk this out. So...um...I have a new website. I know, I know. This is hard to hear, but it's this really cool, well-designed site to promote my new …
We had some bookmarks printed to promote Headless. They look pretty great, I think. All thanks to that amazing mask illustration by Michelle Tolo and the great background textures by my web designer (not this site—more on that later). It's a bit redder than the book cover will be, but I like it a lot. …
I've been working on the final edits of Headless: clarifying the confusing, smoothing the rough bits, and changing some minor descriptive elements. I have some side stories in the works and will have those out soon on the Extras page. In the meantime, here are some more Google Maps photos from my research. I'm still blown …
