My total lack of a subject line, part the millionth.
Sorry it's been slow blogging around here lately, folks. Right now I'm working as much as I can on the Tower!Guy novel and it's final revisions since I anticipate that very, very soon the Tower!Guy novel will be complete in it's revisions and it's final line editing and will be ready to be shipped off to the waiting (read: likely uninterested and overwhelmed) arms of agents who will most likely reject me in the morning.
I'm also pulling together what I need for that devious thing I intend to do in April (God willing and the creek don't rise).
Not to mention my continual and epic searching for gainful employment of any kind (ditto re: God and the creek), and generally just keeping my nose to the grindstone.
Still, to make it worth your while, since I don't anticipate that my tens of readers are just soooooo interested in my personal life that they don't want some content, I come with links to more free books:
Suvudu.com has a free library of SF/F books that one can download in PDF format for enjoyment. I recommend His Majesty's Dragon (warning: goes right to the .PDF file!), because despite that rather head tilting first sentence (semi colon and all) it turns out it's a great read and well, Temaraire is an awesome character who you will want to give hugs to, or at least I did.
Warning: the PDF files are DRM (digital rights managed), and do not transfer to Kindle or an ebook reader. Of course, this isn't a problem for me, since I can't afford a Kindle or Sony Reader anyway and won't be getting until they're at least as affordable as an iPod shuffle. Because, let's face it, buying electronic gadgets new is just asking the company to reduce the price by $100 six months later for everyone else who could restrain their technojoy long enough for the drop.
I'm fine using the poor woman's Kindle, which I like to call My Fiancee's Laptop. It's a solid system, and if something isn't working, the tech support is really easy to reach. So easy that I can just thwack him on the shoulder and say: "Hey, this isn't working!" Why bother with 1-800 numbers when you can just marry a geek? I definitely recommend them if you can get them.
