I'm in print. Again.

January, Vol. 1

Or will be, Dec. 1st. For this week it's just the e-book. But I'm over the moon.

The Pure Slush project I've been working on since April this year is out, ladies and gentlemen. The e-book version of 2014 January and 2014 February is available (.mobi and .epub), and the POD will be available starting December 1st from Lulu.


Tip: Lulu orders placed before Dec. 10th get free shipping (code FREESHIP) and are delivered by Christmas. I'd love to be your Christmas gift ;)

February, Vol. 2

This is an awesome project, by the way. No, not because I'm a part of it. Seriously. Listen. Thirty-one authors. One story per month, always on the same day of the month. Same characters. Their lives through a whole year. 2014. Thirty twelve-chapter novellas, if you will.

(Teasers at the Pure Slush site: January, February, March.)

Then again, because each volume--one per month--is published a month apart, each story must have its own arc, its own merit. We hope everyone will buy & read all twelve volumes, of course, but what if they don't? Each story has to stand alone, even in a small way.


That, for me, has been the greatest challenge. And the steepest learning curve. It's made me (okay, it's making me) a much better novelist. Imagine if the chapters of my novels each stand alone like this. Wow, huh?

March, Vol. 3

I needed this today. NaNo this year left me more exhausted, emotionally, than either of the last two--maybe than both of them combined. I needed this. Thank you, Pure Slush, for making me a part of this. It's a pleasure to work with such competent editors, and I'm honored to be among these fantastic writers.

This. THIS. Indescribable.
