LIMITED TIME OFFER! (no, really. Limited Time Offer)

Are you a Kindle user? Have you been hesitating pulling the lever on a Kindle copy of SILVER ON THE ROAD because ow, $12.99? Or maybe know someone who is a Kindle user who'd love the book, but they didn't have $12.99 to spend on it? Or maybe you wanted to buy it as a holiday present for someone?

Amazon's made it a $1.99 deal (limited time availability).

and yes, Nook users can play, too.

I'll be honest with you - the big thing here is to ZOOM it the hell up the ranking charts. Which means we have to move a LOT of copies.....

Can we do this? I think we can. :-)

(and remember: positive reviews are love!)

oh god yes throw us into that briar...

So, over on Tumblr there was mild astonishment that fic writers like getting commentary/feedback on their work. And I laughed.

Because, writers, period. Fic writers, pro writers… we want you to grab hands into the guts of the story and pry them apart because you resonated with something there and you want to talk about it until you go hoarse and your fingers fall off from typing.

(we might not have intended what you’re responding to, but knowing that you responded? Like puppies and kittens and chocolate and warm fuzzy socks.)

They're coming....

The Washington Post accepts use of "they" as a singular pronoun. Pearls clutched across the nation.

from the memo:

"It is usually possible, and preferable, to recast sentences as plural to avoid both the sexist and antiquated universal default to male pronouns and the awkward use of he or she, him or her and the like: All students must complete their homework, not Each student must complete his or her homework.

When such a rewrite is impossible or hopelessly awkward, however, what is known as “the singular they” is permissible: Everyone has their own opinion about the traditional grammar rule. The singular they is also useful in references to people who identify as neither male nor female."
