Book Showcase: TINSEL RAIN.

TINSEL RAIN is my third novel, and second Tom Vargas post-apocalyptic high urban fantasy pulp detective novel. And isn’t that a mouthful! To quote myself:

Tinsel Rain returns us to the post-apocalyptic world of Cin City, glittering tinsel crown of the Kingdom of New California. When an old not-quite-friend of Shamus Tom Vargas is found dead, Tom gets pulled into a case of murder, magic, and mystery! Sinister archmages! Bodies in alleys! An actual high-speed car ride! And as many bad jokes as the author could cram in! Truly, you deserve to read this book!

Available in paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited. Check it out!

DragonCon nominations are open! Nominate one of my books!

What? I see no particular reason to beat around the bush. If you think MORGAN BAROD or TINSEL RAIN is worth a DragonCon nomination, feel free to click this link and vote for one of them under the Fantasy category. If you don’t think they’re worth nominations, then click on the link anyway and nominate the books you’d prefer. This isn’t a zero-sum game; I don’t need to drag anyone else down in order for me to rise higher.

Second and third wave of TINSEL RAIN books away!

‘Second wave’ being the big orders and ‘third wave’ being various comp copies of TINSEL RAIN. Everything left over is a they-haven’t-done-their-survey situation, but that’s fine. Usually there’s a few who don’t, and I can just nag and nag and nag until they get around to it.

But the books are on their way! Some are even showing up as having been shipped, so you should start seeing your signed copies next week. Huzzah!

PS: Let me know if you don’t get your books, or if there are any problems.

All right. First wave of TINSEL RAIN books, mailed…

…second wave of TINSEL RAIN books will go out tomorrow, once I’ve confirmed some addresses; and the third wave of books will have to wait upon surveys. So if you haven’t gotten yours, check to see first if you’ve filled out your surveys.

But the big part is absolutely done:

By the way: that’s just a freaking branch. I don’t live in Australia.

Well, I got *most* of the postage worked out.

The parts that remain are the big orders, which require boxes. I need to go buy some, weigh those, and recalculate postage accordingly. There aren’t that many, thankfully. With any luck, I can get them out on Friday or Saturday. Huzzah!

…Fill out your survey, if you haven’t yet! Or buy a copy of TINSEL RAIN for your very own. Either way, I’m more or less done for the night.

Technology suuuuuuuucks…

…why do I do this to myself? And it’s all on my end, too. I am morbidly certain that the problem with getting the postage ready is absolutely because I forgot to click something that I should have obviously clicked, or because I misunderstood a clearly stated instruction. I mean, seriously, Backerkit’s very good at this stuff. I am totally ready to believe that I’m being a fumble-fingers.

Locked addresses for TINSEL RAIN Kickstarter distribution!

Now, assuming I can get the postage thing to work properly, I’ll be generating labels and starting to get actual copies of TINSEL RAIN to backers this week. Complications: some folks are gonna need boxes, and there’s the aforementioned postage thing not working properly. Hopefully the latter will get resolved quickly, although actually starting tomorrow won’t be horrible.

Also: if you missed out on TINSEL RAIN, why: buy it now!

I AM LOCKING ORDERS FOR TINSEL RAIN.

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET COMPLETED YOUR SURVEY, PLEASE DO SO. IN FORTY-EIGHT HOURS I WILL LOCK ORDERS, AND START GENERATING POSTAGE. PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR SURVEY AND MAKE ANY FINAL PURCHASES BEFORE THEN. THE STORE IS HERE IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO YOUR ORDER, OR PRE-ORDER SOMETHING.

Sorry for yelling, except that I’m not. Not that I’m mad, either; it’s just that this is not my first Backerkit fulfilment. You have to be loud about these things.

Tomorrow, I prep the dining room for TINSEL RAIN processing.

I have to create sample packages, weigh them, and calculate postage. I should probably also sign the copies of TINSEL RAIN that are going out, as well. But I won’t have as many to do this time, which… roughly evens out on the fortunate/unfortunate spectrum, I guess. A lot less of a pain to get everything ready, this time.

Once that’s done, I can see about locking accounts, generating postage, and getting the blessed things out. After that, I can finish the digital rewards. And after that… GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND needs finishing. The sooner I have a manuscript that’s ready to be read and edited, the sooner I can start trying to figure out how to publish it.
