Another Detail On Amazon’s Connect Program
February 28th 2006 at 9:47 am
I just checked my February stats, and over 250 people visited this site as a result of clicking through an Amazon.com link from my ‘Connect’ page. Most them clicked back out of my site via the Crystal Rain ‘order now’ page. This made Amazon a very large funneler of traffic to my website, one of […]

I’m training for summer early. I usually let winter kick my butt and I stop working out in late November and that goes on until late April/early May, when I start to get the warm weather jones and get in shape for the summer and continue on through.
I’m not doing much in the way of […]

Technorati, the blogging search engine and tracker, now allows you to see the top 100 ‘favorites’ list, a more interesting way of browsing their popular blogs feature, I think…
The Ghost Brigades

While flying back from Boston it worked out that John Scalzi and I ended being on the same flight together. One of the things we talked about were second novels, and John cheerfully noted that he wasn’t worried about sophomore novel slump because he’d had Agent To The Stars come out after Old Man’s War, […]

Oh, check this out, it’s a web 2.0 app that helps families run their lives called Cingo. I’m going to have to play around with this and show it to Emily.
From the clean, uncluttered home page to feature-rich sections such as News, Movie Listings, and Shared Calendar and To-Do Lists, Cingo helps your family to […]
Saints and Madmen

Here’s a book you all should certainly check out. The Bantam edition of Saints and Madmen, the cult classic by Jeff VanderMeer is out:
Jeff’s site has a plethora of really cool stuff associated with the book to check out, which always geeks me out totally. I love intense book websites with lots of stuff added […]
Clarkesworld Bestseller
February 27th 2006 at 10:08 am
Neil just released a list of the Clarkesworld Books bestsellers for the week ending Feb. 26th, and Crystal Rain is #1.
Of course, part of that is no doubt due to this, but it brings a nice lift to the day nonetheless. Neil has been incredibly supportive of me. As I wrote in a note to […]
Ragamuffin Progress
February 27th 2006 at 3:39 am
My thanks to all the guest bloggers who kept it interesting while I was buried this last week.
I took a week off without pay to get as much done on Ragamuffin as I physically could, keeping odd hours and immersing myself in the headspace of this novel as much as I could. I rewrote, and […]

SFReviews.net also reviewed Crystal Rain and said some very nice things, though it seems the reviewer really didn’t like ‘Pepper’ as a name for one of the characters…
