BAM!
The! Inner! Swine!
The new issue of my zine The Inner Swine is ready. I have a pile of paper here that is slowly being transformed into issues, which will then slowly be folded and stuffed into envelopes and mailed out. The key word being slowly.
In the mean time, the Kindle and Nook editions are available right now! Technology is amazing. The issue is 100pp long and the Kindle/Nook versions are each 99 cents and differ from the print only in that they lack most of the images. Go buy them and tell me I am a genius:
Thank you for your support.

We Didn’t Win a Hottie
We didn’t win a Hottie over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, but we were in his Top 20 for Top 10 Speculative Fiction Titles of 2011! Yay Me! IN YOUR FACE, BRANDON SANDERSON!
Review of The Final Evolution
What are we thankful for? Positive reviews of The Final Evolution, of course. Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist has gifted us with a recommendation for #5 in the Avery Cates series:
“The multilayered storylines add another dimension to The Final Evolution, true, but they did not slow the pace of the book. This final installment is another shoot-to-kill thrill ride that will keep you turning those pages … I’ve been saying it for years: These books are addictive! Give this series a shot!”
Goodreads Choice Awards 2011
Well, lookie here: The Final Evolution is a semifinalist in the GoodReads Choice Awards in the category of Science Fiction:

I assume if I win I get lots of money or the power to seize people’s estates or something like that. I’m far too busy to actually read the details, so let’s assume if I win I get to King of a small European country for a day, with complete power over every citizen. Vote for me! Or I will burn your house down, and take all your cattle.
It would be nice to win something, if only to justify this tinfoil crown I made seventeen years ago and insist on wearing every day.

Review of The Electric Church
Nice to see reviews of the first Avery Cates book still coming out 4 years after it published! Found this today over at the IGN blogs, a very thoughtful review that touches on a lot of aspects of the book:
“It reads like a mixture of Blade Runner, Ocean’s Eleven, and Atlas Shrugged. If you are a fan of alternate realities, cyber-punk, and dystopian futures, you will love this book as I have.”
Yeah!
