I have to do more read-throughs on the novel, the chapbook, and the RPG supplement, which is largely what I was doing today. I’m sorry to say this is not a week where I can really be creative; it’s a week where I’m trying to pare down wordcount and typo-hunt. I’m starting to see deadlines from here.

It’s Thursday! That’s an extra-special day for signing up for my Patreon! Why, do you ask?
07/15 Update, July Patreon Pledge Drive (with added linky action!)
My Patreon did not burn down, fall over, then sink into the swamp. After the rest of today, I am counting that as a legitimate win. But I encourage people to join my Patreon anyway. Weekly/monthly fiction and RPG writing, excellent value for a dollar a month. Alternatively, if you don’t want that kind of commitment… buy my books! My illustrated short story “Pickman’s Model: A Romance” is out this week.

The June Patreon stuff is up!
Behold!
- RPG: Monster War Doom, Part I: The World of Coming Doom. Can’t have Doom without a world to put it in!
- Short Story: We Like To Talk About The Place. And they certainly do!
As always, sign up for my Patreon if you haven’t yet!
Happyish Prime Day! Buy my books!
‘Happyish’ because they kind of need better deals for Prime Day. Although admittedly I got a decent sale on some DVDs yesterday… anyway, I have books! They’re not on Prime Day sales, but they’re priced rather nicely anyway. Check them out!
Light posting tonight.
I am currently thinking about how to arrange TINSEL RAIN. It is not yet productive, but it will be. But actually writing anything today wasn’t in the cards.
I’ve entered ANAGNORISIS and REVISIONARY in Memorial Day Kindle Countdown deals.
Starts in a few days, so if you don’t want to save a couple of bucks go ahead and buy them now. Otherwise… cheap books! Tell all your friends!
So, what’s the best e-commerce credit card reader for your phone?
It looks like I’m maybe vending at Galactic Con after all, so I need a card reader (unless I was planning to do it all cash, which I am not). I also need a banner and some actual books to sell, but that’s easy enough to arrange. Do I want the Square, the Paypal, or something else?

Book of the Week: Geez. Something that’s *not* $11.99 on Kindle, I guess?
…Look, I’m sorry. You cannot expect to charge paperback prices for something made digitally and not have people look at you all cross-eyed. I self-publish books now. I have at least a limited understanding of publishing costs. If you’re an author and they’re telling you the only way to make back expenses is to charge that much for the Amazon e-book, see if you can figure out where they’re skimming money off of the top*.

PS: It’s also hurting (most of) your sales.
*Spoiler alert: everywhere. They’re skimming it everywhere.
