Alex Reads Twilight and Life after Potter

So, whilst finishing up summer classes and juggling commissions and writing a new novel (Yes, it's ANOTHER mermaid novel, but completely different from OCEAN OF EMPTINESS), I've been rewatching Alex Reads Twilight on #TheYouTubes. I'm still trying to figure out why people keep using #beforeveryword, but it's starting to get on my nerves. Maybe it's because of Twitter (which I still can't get, since that's what FB statuses are for), or maybe it's another new internet craze.

Either way, maybe I'll start using it just for the heck of it... and #seewhathappens.

Moving swiftly onward.

If you haven't seen Alex Reads Twilight, WATCH IT. It's hilarious.

And, bigger news... TheKayNewsNetwork reports that life as we know it will end after #Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out in theaters. Actually, scratch that - life as we know it will end after it comes out on DVD/BluRay.

I for one am dreading the moment. For realz. Seriously, they made all seven/eight movies. It's Harry Potter!!!! LIKE #THEMOSTFAMOUSBOOKSERIESOFALLTIME. I just hope they get the Snape scenes right... That's probably the scene I've been looking forward to ALL YEAR. They didn't include the part where Lily dissed Snape in the OOTP, so they'd better include that in here... but I doubt it. They'll go for the action and forget all the parts of HP that made it so good. Ah, well.

I'm still going to see it. :)

NEWS ALERT: Look for my new novel coming out this early fall/late summer hopefully.

Cheers! :)

New Ebook Platforms! And Art

No, I am not putting my ebook on literal platforms. I'm a horrible carpenter.

My YA novel OCEAN OF EMPTINESS, thanks to the lovely Smashwords.com, is now available on the Apple iBookstore and Barnes & Noble. Still priced at $0.99! I'm super excited that the book is becoming more widespread, and I hope that people will enjoy it on their Nooks and iPads/iPhones/iTouches/iEverything else. :)

Buy OCEAN OF EMPTINESS on:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble

Smashwords

Short Summary of OCEAN:
 What do you get when you cross a runaway rich kid, a space mermaid, and a stuck-up teen commander with a bunch of pirates in space? ABSOLUTE CHAOS. Throw in a little hint of romance, a few starship battles, and a lot of yelling, and you've got yourself an intergalactic tale. Think Star Wars meets Little Mermaid.

Also, I'm in the middle of working on two new OCEAN OF EMPTINESS (OOE) illustrations that will be published very soon on Deviantart. Eventually, there will be several illustrations in OCEAN, all of which will also be available on Deviantart.

That's all for now! My next post will be about the OCEAN characters and my short sci-fi story SHIFT. :) Leave a comment, ask a question - whatever you'd like!
