Kitty Norville: Facebook & Playlists

Another thing I’ve been working on for Tor lately has been setting up a fan page for the Kitty Norville books on Facebook. I didn’t mention the page online anywhere until Carrie posted the cover for Kitty Goes to War on her blog. I wasn’t sure the word was out that Tor is pubbing her next book, so I waited. But as you can see, news is out so I can talk about it now. Anyway, since »

Amazon & Macmillan

I went to bed knowing there was an issue after seeing it posted on Scalzi’s blog, and having a fan question where the WoT books went on Twitter. But, really, I thought it was a technical glitch with bad timing. I emailed someone at work an fyi and left it at that. This morning I woke up to this: Amazon Pulls Macmillan Books Over E-Book Price Disagreement I’m going to second what Patrick said on Making Light: »

A rambly catch up

My last post on here was in September. And then…wow…things got a wee bit busy you could say. I moved. Woo-hoo! I still haven’t finished unpacking and have no idea when I’ll get to that. I’ll share some pics when I’m more settled. But here is Ruki, enjoying the new windows. They have a wider sill so she can really spread out. And here she is with her head in the window. And yes, there is a »

Interview in RT Book Reviews August Issue

The August issue for RT Book Reviews magazine is out! I was one of the folks interviewed for an article on Twitter: THE TWEET ON TWITTERING Ellora’s Cave author Kathy Kulig explains how authors and publishers can use Twitter to reach readers. Also mentioned from Tor: Heather Osborn‘s crazy tweet requesting a completed manuscript to fill a hole.  I still can’t believe she did that. Tor’s Twitter account: http://twitter.com/torbooks

List o’ Facebook urls

As of midnight folks could set up vanity urls on Facebook. It’s so much easier to tell someone a url this way. I have no idea why it took FB so long to decide to go this route since it’s pretty standard practice online. I’m wondering if Facebook pages will have cleaner SEO than before, but that’s the web dork in me wondering that. Anyway, since I manage a few accounts and various pages, here’s a list »

Green by Jay Lake

Gorgeous cover isn’t it? The art is by Dan Dos Santos and Tor.com has wallpaper available for it, so fyi to that. Jay Lake ran a photo contest that has some great pics you should see too. For those unacquainted with how I talk about books online, I don’t really review our (Tor) books since it’s where I work. And truthfully, you wouldn’t believe my opinion anyway, right? But sometimes I do like to talk about things »

Ramblings about BEA and Then Some

I’m having one of those pudding brain moments lately. I’m not sure how it happened. The onset of psycho pollen this year, with the pressing heat. Or…perhaps it’s simply that my brain got sleepy. Been known to happen sometimes. I went to Book Expo on Friday. I’d never been before and it was interesting to say the least. Javits was hot and gross. For a while I sat outside in the sun and felt cooler. Go figure. »
