New ways to buy Faerie Blood
For those of you who aren’t aware yet, Google has finally launched its own ebook store. I mention this not only because it’s a new way to buy Faerie Blood, but also because indie bookstores are leaping on this as a way for them to easily sell ebooks on their own sites. Which I have…

I cannot IMAGINE what tipped them off
My latest auto-recommendation email from Amazon is totally to giggle: Folk Songs of Newfoundland, by Alan Mills! Note also this dude has a separate album called We’ll Rant and We’ll Roar: Songs of Newfoundland, too!

Book Log #77: Naked Heat, by Richard Castle
I’m still greatly, greatly amused that the Richard Castle books even exist–it remains an excellent marketing ploy for an enjoyable TV show.

Plug for Crossed Genre and the Aether Age
The folks over at Crossed Genres have released their first novel: A Festival of Skeletons, by New Zealand author R.J. Astruc. It’s described as a novel of “zombies, necromancers, merkind, serial killers and cross-dressing”, so if that sounds fun, you might want to check it out! It’s available from Amazon in both print and Kindle…

Shiny big bonus ebook roundup!
It will or at least SHOULD surprise none of you that since I was handed a raise and a review bonus, in addition to getting my shiny new guitar, I also cut a big swath through my ebook wishlist! Drum roll, if you please: Also, although this is an audiobook it does IMO count: That…

Awesome Guitar Acquisition of Awesomeness
Ladies and gentlemen, as promised, today I went with my beloved solarbird to Dusty Strings and got myself a shiny brand new guitar! It took a bit of deciding, especially given that the place was a madhouse (they were having an open house and concert and they were packed wall to wall with people), but…
