Don't make me use this!

So, for the record. The book sales are going really well. They now are paying for all my kindle book needs, and then some. I'm particularly fond of that "and then some". I say this first because when I started, I assumed that I'd sell a couple books, and then I'd disappear off the map. Instead my sales keep churning. So  I've been pleasantly surprised.

A bigger surprise has been the opportunity to get to chat with people who enjoy my work. People like F.S. and T.B. (I don't want to give their full names, because I don't want to stomp all over their privacy. I just wanted to say thanks for being awesome!) I've never been a chatty person. In fact I'm often quite hermitlike in my behavior. Outside of my job (not the writing, but my actual job, or as it will be for the rest of this post known as the employment that shall not be named.), and outside of my wife, I typically may not speak to anyone for a week, or two at a time. I'm a very private person.

That being said, I've absolutely loved getting chat with people over my facebook or twitter. I can't ever succeed if I don't have support from great people like T.B., or F.S. So I really think that at the very least I should be as accessible to ya'll as possible. That means drop me a message, and generally I'll answer it. If you want to know something, I'll try and answer it. If you want naked pictures of me...well then my wife will kill us both, but at least we'll go out together...GO TEAM!

So don't be shy...come give me a yell. Say hello. I don't bite...ok well I do, but only my wife, and in my defense she likes it. I love talking to you guys. That leads me on to something else.
Copyright violation. Sadly I had to spend almost an hour today getting websites to remove the files that were distributing my book illegally. Theft bothers me, but not because of the money. I don't mind the loss of income. I mind the loss of an opportunity to do something cool for ya'll. I enjoy it when I can offer the book free. I like that if I decide to add a little something special to the book at a later date, then I can have amazon send you the update eventually with the added something special. It's coming by the way, but not until after the sequel is finished. If you go out and steal the book from a website then how am I supposed to do cool stuff with you. If you just want to get the freebie come ask me on facebook. I'll tell you the next freebie date. The money is great and all, but I love having fans. I'd rather get to know you people than your wallets anyday. Right now the only place I allow my book to be sold on is the Amazon Kindle. I love the kindle, and it just feels like publishing with anyone else is kind of like cheating.

So find me on Facebook here, or twitter here . I'm always glad to hear from you.

Finally, if you haven't gotten the book...buy it here!!!!!
