Further Youmacon News

Posted in Grumblings on October 30, 2011 by chemiclord

My panel time along with Fred Gallagher has been confirmed as 9:00-11:00 am Saturday, November 5th, in the Renaissance Center main ballroom.  Nice big venue; should be a fun experience for everyone involved.

It’s possible I might get drafted into other panels in the convention, but that’s probably going to be a spur of the moment decision.  I’ll likely be at the MegaTokyo booth for the majority of the time otherwise… wherever that proves to be.

Exiern

Posted in Updates on October 13, 2011 by chemiclord

As has finally become official, I have taken over for Drowemos as the writer and creative mind behind the Exiern webcomic.

It’s a bit of a big step for me (and will probably slow production of my novels and whatnot… but I gave up meeting those deadlines anyway), but I’ve been told I’m up to the challenge, and will do justice to the story while giving it a different direction and style.

I guess I should choose to believe it.

What to Talk About?

Posted in Grumblings on October 2, 2011 by chemiclord

Supposedly, keeping an active blog is a good way to keep readership.  I want to keep readers.

But at the same time, I really don’t have any news to report.  Work on The Endtimers’ Legacy continues, albeit slowly.  Work on MegaTokyo: Endgames continues, albeit slowly.  I’ve already noted that I’m going to Youmacon, nothing has really changed on that score.  There are other things that are happening, but I’m not comfortable talking about them yet.

I have no intention of turning this blog into my personal venting pulpit… I still am rather disappointed in myself that I did so once, and I’m not going to again.

I’m really against wasting people’s time with vapid blog posts that don’t give anything of substance… and yet here I am wasting people’s time with nothing of substance.

I’m sorry.  I’m pretty much terrible.

I’ve Been Neglecting This Place Terribly.

But honestly, it’s not that I haven’t forgotten about my blog… I’m just not the sort of person who types up every random thought that pops into his head… and I have no delusions that anyone even cares about the content in this blog, much less my inane daily dealings.

Really, nothing has changed in the last month… I’m still hard at work with The Endtimers’ Legacy, as well as preparing the first full length MegaTokyo: Endgames light novel.

What can I say, I’m just a very boring guy not worth paying much attention to.  When I have something worth saying… I’ll eventually say it to all ten people who care.

Youmacon 2011

Posted in Grumblings on July 30, 2011 by chemiclord

Barring some unforeseen circumstances, it looks like I’ll be attending this years Youmacon in Detroit, November 3rd to the 6th.

Still unsure on a lot of the details yet, but a heads up if you’re going to be in the area and for some bizarre reason want to chat me up in person.  More will be forthcoming as I learn it.

A Word of Thanks

I learned that over the weekend, “Behind the Masque” held the #1 spot for several hours on Amazon’s Bestseller List for all Comics and Graphic Novels, and held the top spot on their manga list throughout the entire weekend.

I could not have dreamed of such a result for the hard work Fred and I put together.  I’m actually rather humbled by the result.  Thank everyone who made this story such a rousing success.  For those who still haven’t given it a read… well, obviously quite a few people like it.  You wouldn’t want to miss out, would ya?

Megatokyo Endgames: Behind the Masque

Posted in Updates on June 10, 2011 by chemiclord

It took some time to set everything in order, but at long last, a taste of what is in store for those who wanted to see the fruits of my Super Special Super Secret Project.

The Kindle Store now carries “Behind the Masque” a short story set in the Endgames world that will allow readers to dip their toes in and decide if they want to see more.  If anything, Fred Gallagher’s artwork is worth the $0.99 by itself.

Follow this link here if you want to learn more and make your purchase.

Amazon link back up.

Readers are again able to purchase the Second Gate e-book after some short downtime.  I apologize for the error in publishing, as it was most certainly my fault.

The Amazon Value Menu!

Posted in Updates on June 5, 2011 by chemiclord

All sorts of mediocre stuff for under a buck!

In seriousness, though, The Second Gate is now available for purchase at Amazon.com for Kindle and all Kindle supported applications and platforms.  At only $0.99, it’s a way of showing your support and helping set a standard that could be turned into a dead tree version in the future.

Honestly, I’d have offered it for even less, but 99 cents is the lowest any e-book publisher would allow me to charge.

What?  Did you think I was kidding when I said I thought it was worth a nickel?

At any rate, if after all this, you actually still want to buy this thing, feel free to follow this link here.
