New social app for my novel, Time Up

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:06:22 -0500

Today Boxfire released a new social app on Facebook for Time Up. You can download each of the chapters over time, for free in exchange for a post on your Facebook wall. If you don’t want to wait for each chapter, you can get the whole book online or buy the next one with Facebook credits. The more chapters you download and review in the app, the quicker new chapters will become available.

This is a test run for my next novel, which is coming out early next year — it’ll be released the same way :)

My car is covered by the aptly named Progressive. I didn’t believe, however, that an insurance company as large as Allstate would be so careless as to discriminate against legally married couples in — how many states now? — five plus the District of Columbia? (To say nothing of the states that put the legally recognized relationships of gay couples on the same footing as married couples). So, I did a little test. And yep, there it is. Same-sex married couples aren’t treated the same as the opposite-sex married ones.

My new sci-fi novel

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 12:59:48 -0400

My new sci-fi novel:

The dead man didn’t stay dead, and that wasn’t even the worst part of the evening.

Life used to be pretty simple for Dr. Van Jacobs, until a dead guy rolled into his emergency room and didn’t even have the courtesy to stay dead. From there, things got a little insane. Between the spacetime breaks and the wingnut cult and this thing sitting on the bottom of the ocean that the dead guy expects him to fix … and Ben … Van is barely hanging on. Not that he was hanging on much before, just kind of existing. But now, he’s got a reason to exist - a purpose - just when it looks like all of existence might not be, existing much longer.
