A Dialogue About Ebooks
Ilona: On the recent royalty statements, it looks that we’re upside down. When we started, the ebooks made up about 5-10% in sales. Now it’s more like 2:1, conservatively speaking. For example, we sold 2,563 print units of MAGIC STRIKES, but exactly 7,000 (not counting Candian sales) of ebooks. Gordon: I have to disagree with…

Cheesy Movie Contest winner of Van Helsing on Blu Ray
Wow, so many great comments. Yes, The Evil Dead has to be way up there along with Big Trouble in Little China and rare post-apocalyptic gems like Cherry 2000 and A Boy and His Dog (staring a young Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, respectively, who were a couple in the 80′s.) If you had HBO…

Magic Strikes hot tub POV
Disclaimer: I am not super comfortable with the smexy scenes. However, I was bribed with action figures by Diana G. I did my best to convey the Beast Lord’s thoughts and feelings but we men are simple creatures, not much goes through our head in these situations beyond “Boobies,” and “I got Snu snu” to…

Odds and Ends
Today is just random stuff. Sore from the gym yesterday. After Christmas, I got us a family membership at Golds Gym. I have to tell you it is the nicest place I have ever worked out. Not only is it huge, they have a heated pool, jacuzzi, and a sauna, but there is a room…

Katherine emailed with a link to this article: Amazon Signs Up Authors, Writing Publishers Out of Deal and asked if wouldn’t be easier and less stressful to go this route. It is an interesting article and a good question. While I understand that for some writers there is certain allure to it, especially if your…

The demise of Borders as discussed on the Daily Show.
Ilona and I were saddened by the recent news of Borders impending closure. I liked going in there, in fact I prefer them to B&N, they always seemed to have a better selection, but were also oddly disorganized. Honestly, the books in our room are at least arranged in alphabetical order. Going in was always…

Armadillo Con 33
Last year we were invited to Armadillo Con 32 in Austin (for some reason I was convinced it was in Amarillo, TX) and we had a blast. We got to hang out with Rachel Caine and her husband Cat Conrad, and met cool locals like Mickey Finn & Jessie Mihalik. We even did a signing…

Something funny happened on the way to Mass Market
So, do you want the good news, or the bad? I always want the bad news, which in this case is that there will not be Kate 6 until Feb. 2013. That is of course if we do not all perish in the predicted 2012 disaster scenario. That would be worse news. The good news…
