Technical Difficulties
Hello, and Happy New Year!
2011 went out the hard way for me this year, taking my entire PC workstation with it. I was forced to order a new everything, as my motherboard and CPU appear to be dead. I am awaiting parts from NewEgg now. Once I receive them, I will have to rebuild the machine, which is occasionally an adventure.
Optimistically, I hope to be back up by the end of the week. Realistically? Not sure.
Will this hold up the release of The Anathema? Again, I'm not sure. I was flying along before this happened, and sure I would get it out by the last week in January. Now, that is in doubt, simply based on when I get my computer successfully rebuilt.
Yet another hurdle for the self-published writer, who also happens to be his own tech.
In other matters, thanks to everyone who took the time out to write me or write a nice review of either of my books - totally made my day (and my year). If I didn't write you back, forgive me and try again - I got a lot of mail this year, and probably just lost yours in the shuffle.
For the people who have asked me to review their work, I have already taken on as my requests as I can handle. I will let you all know when I have some free time again. For the artists who have expressed interest in taking over Unknown Kadath - I'm afraid that's Xi Lu's gig until she decides she doesn't want it anymore. The girl is brilliant and easy to work with. But do keep sending me samples - I have another illustrated work in the pipe line that I will need an artist for.
Thanks for the questions regarding Dead to the World - I will be releasing one of the short stories from the collection for free as a preview, so you can look forward to that in the spring, with the collection (5 short stories and a novella) shortly after.
I hope 2012 is good to each and every one of you. I will update once I am back up and running. In the meantime, try and be patient with the one-man show over here - I have to do everything from building the computers to editing the books myself. It's a lot of work. I promise to try and hold to my deadlines, but I hope you'll all forgive me if my broken computer and busted shoulder prove insurmountable, and I'm a little late.
Thanks, as always, for reading, and feel free to hit me up for any reason at spook_nine@yahoo.com.
