Angels, Angles, And Self-Publishing with Harrison Paul

by

Teenage girl versus Angels. Sounds like a throaway anime or YA novel.  What if I told you the novel was set in Medieval Scandinavia?  And the problem was the Angels were suddenly turning on mankind?  It’s biblical smackdown where a young girl is the weapon against mankind’s former guardians.

Welcome to the world of Kaybree Versus the Angels.

The author is Harrison Paul, a man who’s had a rather active life from music to religion, and is channeling his talents into creating a dark fantasy adventure in the YA vein with his own twists.

More Amazon Licensed Fanfic Coming

by

Well it looks like Amazon started something (which Amazon is in the habit of doing), and more license-holders have signed on to their licensed fanfic plan.

Specifically they added Valiant Entertainment, which does not surprise me as Valiant has a fascinating history of ups, downs, morphing, and experiments.

What also is intriguing is this is fiction on comic properties – will Amazon be open to fancomics at some point?

How interesting is this?  Well, I tagged my calendar to help us track what’s up here.  In the areas of licensing, publishing, writing careers, and more this is going to get pretty interesting.

Guest Post: Why I need Bender as my Literary Agent

I write. Some people would say I’m a self-published author looking to go the traditional route with my next book, but I like to think of my self as an amateur author ready to go pro. Why not? I need the money. Yeah, I know, it is possible to build up an author platform and market your books yourself, but the process is time consuming. Sure, absolutely, I’m indie until I die, but I also want to sell out so I can afford to stay indie on my time off when I’m not busy selling out.

That’s why I need Bender to be my literary agent. I realize he is fictional. I haven’t lost touch with reality – no. And, yes, I am aware his work experience involves bending, drinking, smoking, and sitting around a delivery warehouse. And I’m sure he doesn’t spend all too much time reading, but in my Futurama loving heart, he’s the right robot for the job.
