In the beginning there was...me?

You're probably asking yourself? Who is J.L.M. Visada, and why should I care. Well I'm just a really odd dude that likes to write. I was born and raised in Texas, and I'm married to a really awesome woman. I write , and recently published an e-book on kindle. So far it's made enough to pay for my kindle addiction. I honestly didn't expect that much success. I thought maybe 2 or 3 sales a month, and instead I got 50 in 11 days. So if you are one of the buyers then thank you, and you are awesome. If you are one of the almost 700 people that got my book for free then thank you for reading it as well, and you are also awesome, but you are $2.99 less awesome than the people that paid the full price for it. That doesn't make you a bad person, it just means you are roughly a trip to the McDonald's dollar menu less awesome than the people that paid cash. Don't feel bad, I grab the freebies too.

Well it's just you and me, and me and you, and me...and you...and me? Now that that's clear as mud lets progress to higher ground shall we? If you're reading this then you and I have just made some common ground. This is my first ever blog, and you are getting to read that first ever blog. I know...so far this has been about as exciting as watching paint dry, but don't worry it does get better. This is just the introduction, the equivalent of foreplay.

Why do I have a blog? That's actually a good question, and one that I'm not sure I have a simple answer for. The fact is that I am an aspiring e-book writer, and everyone keeps saying that if you want to encourage book sales then you'll have to start a blog. The rub of that is that if I'm writing about my book then when do I find time to actually write another book. Other people do this so maybe I'm just whining.

So what will you find here on the blog? Well you'll find a little bit of everything. Whatever tickles my fancy, or just whatever seems important to discuss at the time. One day it might be discussing politics and religion, and the next we might discuss why you can never find marshmallow peeps except during Easter. I'll probably drop a blog in here a couple times a week, but I have to find time to write, and of course I actually have a real job. It pays real money...and even though my wife keeps telling me we can live on love, she also likes having a delicious Airways bacon cheeseburger. Delicious Airways bacon cheeseburgers cannot in fact be bought with love, and any attempt to purchase them with love will most likely result in you being handed a restraining order. So I have to work, and I work a lot, and for long hours.

Our first discussion should be what brought me here. So let me tell you about my e-book. It's Midnight Squad: The Grim. It's an oddly funny erotic urban fantasy. The sex scenes are steamy, and the comedy is pee your pants funny (Although in fairness peeing someone else's pants might be even funnier in a disturbingly twisted way.) It's a funny story with lots of sex, violence, vampires, werewolves, a horny ghost nun, a gothic witch, and even Jesus makes a special appearance. I love me some Jesus, so I have to make sure he gets his props. Remember, he died for your sins...not your stupidity.

Now that being said, lets have a fantastic time, and I hope you enjoy the ride. If you want to buy Midnight Squad: The Grim get yourself a copy on kindle right here.

  1. I really enjoyed Midnight Squad! Is this a stand alone novel or the beginning of a series? I for one hope this is just the beginning! Congratulations on the book and keep up the good work! I will be watching out for your new books in the future.

  2. It is a series. I'm working on chapter six of the sequel. If you want to chat further just catch me at Facebook. I had to quit working on my blog because Google decided to label my blog as spam, and then after I protested that I wasn't spam they told me I was still spam. Then after locking me out of my blog they decided later that they'd made a terrible mistake and that I wasn't spam. So I informed them to go do something to themselves that would require some severe flexibility, and that from now on I am spam...angry angry spam....and that they could just go suck on my spammy wrath. So the blog died...but I'm still on facebook chatting with anyone that wants to say hello. So catch me there anytime :) http://www.facebook.com/jlm.visada
