Introducing Informotron Press!

by

When I first started writing I didn’t know how much the writing bug would bite me – so I had several websites for my books.  Over time I consolidated them because, well, it was hard to maintain, a bit useless, and didn’t let me really leverage what I was doing.  So, finally, all my books are consolidated under my new imprint:

Informotron Press.

It’s all written in Bootstrap (which is what I rewrote Seventh Sanctum in), and in fact the Sanctum rewrite made this go much faster.  Frankly, the whole Bootstrap thing is working for me – and the relatively standard, scaling layouts really do work.  Bootstrap isn’t just a tool, it’s got good practices built into it.

So now, when you send your friends and family to my books (hey, Christmas is coming . . . ), they can find out about all the other books available.  Best of all, when I post my various resources I can make sure more people get them!

So go check it out, let me know what you think – and remember more books are coming . . .

Check out “The Elevator”

by

Victoria Shockley, who we interviewed previously, has her new children’s novella, “The Elevator” coming out soon.  You can find out more here: http://victoriashockleywrites.wordpress.com/.  Here’s her blurb:

“Gorb the gnome operates an elevator in an upscale hotel. When three businessmen get stuck in his lift, their only chance of escape is to work together. But with a clashing of personalities, that proves difficult.

Gorb has a plan. Will his tale about the fantastic  kingdom of Eggslandia be enough to inspire the  group to collaborate and find a way out?

The Elevator and its story within a story share a  lesson in the importance of teamwork.”

Sounds like something to check out.  Give it a look!

Weekly Update 7/29/2013

by

Hey gang, how’s everyone doing?  Well, I hope!  Busy as always, and here’s what’s up!

First, the next book – which does involve some reused, rewritten, and expanded work – is going well.  I got the outline in place, and am fleshing out the content.  It’s probably going to be a doozy – I’d guess 250+ pages.  You’ll love it, trust me . . .

MuseHack had it’s first MuseHackathon!  It went fantastic!  We discussed marketing and publicity, and had a lot of great results.  Next one should be late August/early September and is currently scheduled to be focused on monetization.

MuseHack also had it’s first of it’s job/want/need/opportunity Postings!  You can see it here, and hopefully it’s already helped people out!    In fact I already got one for the next post on Friday.  So if you need help, see opportunities, etc. let us know!

I’m going to be speaking at Con-Volution 2013!  Looks like I’ll be doing quite a few events, including Fan To Pro, Crossover Mania, The Power of Brainstorming, and Epic Resume Go!

I also encountered RWBY, an interesting CGI animated series that fuses anime and video game aesthetic.  You may want to check it out – and it’s an example of profan work.

So what’s up with you?
