Hi there! :) Just to make it agonizingly clear — again! — I haven’t been nominated for anything.

As always, I offer my ebooks through all retailers, including Amazon, Amazon UK, B&N/Nook, Smashwords, et al., So, I’m giving readers the maximum choice of where and how to buy my books, regardless of device they own.

Now, I’m in the process of publishing all my books directly to the Kobo publishing platform. Awesome! :) And you can buy them all from Kobo right now.

But … that’s not all! You can buy print editions of all the novels in my Sam McRae mystery series. From indie bookstores online. So you don’t have to buy them from Hitler Amazon or B&N. Ha ha ha #iamfoolish

And I’ve been working hard on my Indiegogo project, and my chapter for the stroke rehab book, along with writing words on my YA novel. Plus, I may (possibly) be doing a local speaking appearance. I’ll keep you apprised.

Here’s the awesome cover of my latest novel, in case you’ve forgotten what it looks like. :)

And speaking of crowdsourcing, major congrats to Jeanne V. Bowerman! Way to go. :D

I hear ya, sister! Ha ha ha …

That’s Jeanne V. Bowerman. In case you were wondering. Ha ha ha #iamfoolish

Intrigue Publishing – On a Mission! Way to go, Austin Camacho! :)

Can you say “sheer desperation”? Ha ha ha …

Why is this man not smiling? Ha ha ha … #iamfoolish

Don’t cry, Jeff.

Another Kickstarter success story!

I will quote from the article:

With four days to go in its fundraising campaign, the “tiny radio show about design, architecture and the 99 percent invisible activity that shapes our world” has raised over $147,000 through close to 5,000 supporters on Kickstarter, shattering its original goal of only $42,000.

(Notably, the number also already marks it as 1 of only 208 successfully funded projects on Kickstarter to raise over $100,000.)

Been there, done that, Stephen. Ignore the haters. I guess. Ha ha ha …

A whole blog about how to make a million dollars from writing ebooks. Wow! Any thoughts, Lee Goldberg? This should look familiar. Ha ha ha … #iamfoolish

I’m really sorry I only got to talk to your voice mail, Stephen. :( Really!

But speaking of accomplished missions. Perfect Mars landing! :)

Veronica Mars is awesome!

Ha ha ha …

Awesome!

Here’s The Bloggesses’ (sp?) last leg of her book tour, for the benefit of my siblings. :)

Also, because she’s been sensible good decent kind enough to drop the Nathan Fillion twine requests, I’ll also drop my twine! :)

Twine-free dystonia-clenched hand.

See? :)

I’m not giving you the finger. That’s just my dystonia. Really!

Given our missed opportunity to talk, may I extend my slightly gimpy hand in virtual friendship? Ha ha ha … #iamfoolish

And … now … a really cool video someone posted in a comment on another blog, where you can read the most bizarre crazy weird interesting story theory about my dystonia. #dystonia #iamfoolish

We never saw this on the Tube. That’s the London subway, of course. Ha ha ha …

Now let’s end things with the video song I was able to access featured on yesterday’s teaser from Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar.

And here’s the awesome Olympic torch-bearer’s quote:
