My very own Amazon page!

I created an author page on Amazon.com yesterday, just for the fun of it.

Of course, you won't find much on it...yet.

I expect that to change in the near future.

You can look at it here...it's about as basic as it gets. Pic, blog RSS feed, Twitter feed, and a link to books featuring my work. So the page is pretty much an inferior version of this blog. Except it's on Amazon.com.

You'll also find it on the ever-growing sidebar of My Kingdom for a Novel...or a Short Story.

Beta Readers Assemble!

For the first time ever, I'm proud to announce that I'm utilizing step three on the Peytonometer. In past submissions, I went straight from "Audibles" to "Going Deep." But this week I sent my first assignments to some people who have kindly agreed to critique my work. Let's hear it for the "Beta Reader Handoff!"

If you haven't noticed, I am half-crazy. Or possibly all-crazy (whichever you want to believe). I spent a little time over the weekend trying to figure out a way to thank my kind and benevolent beta readers (they are kind and benevolent until they actually send back their critiques, of course). My best idea: who doesn't love a t-shirt?

Then, I got even more ridiculous. In my book The Franchise, superpowers play a big role. Employees of OMNI Corporation have one of a range of abilities. Those who control fire are called "Crispers," those with power over ice & water, "Cubers," those with the power of flight, "Gliders," and so on. The OMNI uniforms are yellow; I thought it'd be fun to have an OMNI "uniform" t-shirt. The design is obviously very basic, but it was something to have fun with...
