Price Increase For “The Perfect Meal”

Since July’s publication of my first novel, The Perfect Meal sales have been relatively steady–not planning my retirement, mind you–but on-going and making me understand the value of having a deeper virtual shelf of works to offer readers.

Based upon things learned from the likes of J.A. Konrath, and other independent digital publishers, it seems the time has come to raise the price of TPM to $2.99. If you’ve already purchased your copy, consider yourself a savvy shopper!

Even at the slightly higher price, my belief and that of others who’ve discussed the work with me, this is still a value for a well-written, cleanly programmed work.

I’m also working on creating an audio play for the story, so be on the look out for that sometime after the first of the new year. Audio plays are a little different from a straight audio book (which I intend to produce for TPM as well).

Think of the old dramatic radio shows from the early part of the 20th century. The different characters were spoken in different voices, there were sound effects, and all sorts of audio drama for the listener.

I believe audio plays are an almost lost art and would very much like to see them make a comeback with modern stories.

Will keep you informed, as always.

37 Signals

OMGosh! This is just too funny. Thank goodness we live in a country where artists can create something as fun, interesting AND effective as this little faux ad selling 37 Signals newest book, “Rework”
It’s a quick watch. Enjoy!

Amazon Affiliate Linker Plugin Test

Just testing to see if the Amazon Affiliate Linker WordPress Plugin will work on WPMU install.

Here, I’m just using the plugin to create (hopefully!) a link to the same Pro Blogger book that is used in the Club WordPress post about this plugin.

That title “should” hopefully be an Amazon Affiliate link. We shall see!

Now reading “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”

The Omnivore's DilemmaOnly about 40 pages or so in, but have to say that in addition to those being quite fascinating pages, I very much admire Michael Pollan’s writing style.

Amazon also delivered his “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto“. Looking forward to reading that as well.
