Speedbump

It just so happens I rely on a laptop rather than a PC. My wife and I each own a laptop. Someday I'd love to obtain a PC and take advantage of higher speed and storage.

Yesterday, my computer decided it no longer wanted to take a charge. Which is annoying, because I rely on my laptop for updating Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads, not to mention editing, updating, and formatting manuscripts.

What's especially annoying is that the state of being financially strapped means I'm going to have to wait til my new job kicks in to repair/buy new parts. And so my current works-in-progress are doomed to a state of limbo until I get my laptop up and running again.

Fortunately, I can continue updating my blog and a few other things with my phone. Thanks to the nifty Springpad app, I can even get some writing done. But Goodreads, book formatting, and other tasks will have to wait.

D'oh. Just when I was getting rolling, too.

NEW WEBSITE!

Doesn't it look sweet? Of course, I may be slightly biased. But having an actual website, besides the blog and the Facebook page and the Twitter feed, makes me feel more official. Here, check it out for yourself.

At the moment it's just the basics of what I'm after, but eventually I'd like to add resources for readers and writers, as well as cool links and other stuff. So keep checking it out! (And do me a favor? When - er, if - you visit my webpage, click the Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ buttons near the top of the page. You'll do that for me? You will? Oh, you're the best. Thank you!)

In other news, my free ebook, "Vessa's Grave" has cleared all hurdles and is now on the verge of distribution to major ebook retailers such as Kobo, Sony, Apple, and others. Amazon is a mere possibility at this point -- if it happens, it won't be any earlier than this December. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If you want to find out more regarding "Vessa's Grave", check out the page link in the black bar above.

Ah the thrills. I may need to get out more.
