It’s a whole new year…

Let’s get serious for the first post of 2012, but not too serious…

I’ve been working on some new projects in e-publishing and those should be coming online during the month of January. I’ve got a trio of books under a super secret pen name that will only be made public if they start to sell. Here are the titles of the ‘books’ that are for sale on amazon.com right now:
Cheap Tequila
Floating
Randagrams and Anagrams – Geography Edition
Randagrams and Anagrams – Food and Drink Edition

I put together the files to sell Cheap Tequila and Floating as actual paperback books, but the Randagram books wouldn’t really translate well to a hard copy.

I’m going to try to commit to keeping things lively here on the blog, and maybe even setting up another under a pseudonym I might use for some alternate genres. I didn’t really do any massive marketing in 2011 for the ebooks and I’ve been a little slower on production that I had hoped, but I’m going to be a speed demon in Twenty-Twelve!

My commissions for all ebook sales on Amazon this year were $99.48, which is more than zero dollars. With some luck and some concerted strategy about the types of stories/projects to sell, I’m going to increase that quite a bit.

Wish me luck!

RIP Qwikster!

The friendly, and seemingly a little confused, kids over at netflix.com sent me an email this morning. It seems that they are going to keep the DVD queue on the same website as the instant watching list. Yay…

Now if the people at the film studios would just make a few movies that are worth putting on my DVD queue!

Driving through Puna


I got to watch some nice waves crash into the rocks at Malama Ki the other day. When I turned around, I saw that the air was full of mist and took this shot. I like all the green in Puna, but I’m not sure I would like to deal with even more insects on a daily basis.
