Mystery Hill for the Kindle

The Kindle Store experiment continues with the addition of my novella Mystery Hill. Here's a review from the Guardian to whet your appetite:

Everything about this novella is delightful: its breezy telling, the touching relationship between Ken and Fara, the deadpan humour, the casually fatalistic denouement. Wonderful.

How can you resist that?

Also, if you'd rather have the print version, here's the link to its catalog listing at PS Publishing.

A Cool Million

Avengers Alliance hit a million users on Monday, I hear. Salut to the dev team at Playdom! And cue all kinds of thrills on this end...a million people reading stuff I wrote. Agent Irvine is, of course, one of those million. He's Level 24 and kicking ass.

Each and every one of those (now more than a) million people is warmly encouraged to go read something else that Agent Irvine wrote. Set up some long Flight Deck missions and settle in with a good book or comic.

Here's to more millions!

Dream Curator & Others, Free in the Kindle Store

Today through Friday, get my collection The Dream Curator and Other Stories free in the Kindle Store. There's something for everyone in these eleven stories, which are all over the genre map: SF, fantasy, crime, sometimes more than one at the same time. Read and enjoy!

Also, I'm working a story that has cows in it, so Gordon Van Gelder sent me this video. You should watch it.

Theme Song for the Personhood Movement

Because it's Saturday night, and on Saturday nights one must either watch Withnail & I or consider the loony prescience of Monty Python. Today, provoked by a Facebook comment from Jennifer Stevenson, I choose the latter.

Making of Avengers Alliance Video

...part 1 of 4...

Variety on Avengers Alliance

Some interesting stuff here in this article by Marc Glaser. Note especially the bit about the storyline unfolding over "two or three years."

There's been nothing like this on Facebook so far. If you've just started playing it, you're in for a treat.

Send me some SHIELD points!

No Mo' Nomi

As you may have read in the announcement on the Star Wars Books Facebook page, my Nomi (and Vima) Sunrider book will not appear "due to changes in direction and concepts in the overall publishing plans."

Avengers Alliance Is Live!

Go play!

Avengers Alliance Art

Check out these cityscapes from the game (there are more here). Evil lurks within...and you'll be able to fight it real, real soon.

New Stuff for the Kindle

Trying out this newfangled electronic publishing thing, I put together a Kindle-only collection called The Dream Curator and Other Stories. It contains the following stories, all of which are also available individually:

• Shambhala
• The Word He Was Looking for Was Hello
• The Truth About Ninjas
• Shad's Mess
• Remotest Mansions of the Blood
• Black Lagoon
• Eagleburger's Lawn
• This Thing of Darkness I Acknowledge Mine
• Seventh Fall
• Homosexuals Damned, Film at Eleven
• The Dream Curator

Read 'em! Review 'em! (And while you're at it, review all my other stuff on Amazon too!)

Over the course of this year I'm going to be developing some stuff exclusively for the Kindle store, just to see how it works. Until then, check these stories out. They were published in lots of different places with different readerships, so even if you've read some of them, I'm betting you haven't read them all.
