Vertigo Is Live

Don't let me get in the way of the links:

  • Vertigo is available for purchase in eBook and paperback on Amazon.com. Links to Amazon's international sites can be found here. The links on this page will grow as more sites become available.
  • If you don't have a Kindle, not to worry. Kindle apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, PC, Mac and the cloud: Kindle Apps.
  • If you're a Goodreads user, the Vertigo page can be found here.
  • I am thrilled beyond measure for everyone to finally be able to read Vertigo, and I truly hope you enjoy it. Of course if you do, don't be shy about it - reviews are the greatest gift you can give, but tweets, posts on Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest, your own blogs, and forums are also most welcome.

Vertigo Release Date

I'm thrilled to announce that Vertigo will be released on September 25, 2014!

That is all.

P.S.: Also, the website has been doused in lavender paint, and Vertigo now has a splash page and a quotes page. It also has a Goodreads page. Okay, that really is all.

Exciting Vertigo News & Starshine Sale

You know how the teaser for Vertigo at the end of Starshine says "Coming Next Winter"? Is October 'winter' by chance?

  • So Vertigo is going very well. It's been edited about five times, and as of yesterday is off to some awesome people for review. Katie, Jules, Mark, Anne, Carole, EJ, Claire, a million 'thank you's!
  • With all the standard caveats, I'm tentatively eyeing an October 8th, 2014 release date; if the next month goes spectacularly, perhaps even as early as the end of September. Stay tuned.
    • [EDIT:] September 25th looks good to me!
  • Those progress meters over on the right have been updated to reflect the book's 'mostly complete' status. Before too long you're going to see a Transcendence word meter show up over there as well - because I have learned the hard way that it is far easier to just keep writing than to stop writing and begin again!

Audiobook Release! Plus, Alex & Caleb Tell All, & Tracking Vertigo Progress

We had a terrific time at Denver Comic Con last week, and came away with art, autographs, and many business cards :).

  • I'm thrilled to announce the release of audiobook for Starshine, narrated by the wonderful Pyper Down. You can get on Amazon or directly from Audible. It should be available on iTunes within the next few days (I'll update this post with a link once it's posted).

  • New blog post: A Conversation with the Intrepid Heroes of Starshine. I had entirely too much fun writing this, so I hope you enjoy it! (As an aside, while it is my policy to take all criticism seriously, Alex has a more cavalier attitude....)

Vertigo Excerpt, Starshine Character Index & More

No one said writing full-time wouldn't be a full-time job, right?

  • You were able to read the beginning of Starshine months before its release - why shouldn't you be able to do the same for Vertigo? I'm very pleased to share the first chapter of Vertigo today! Read it here. Let me know what you think.

  • As promised in "5 Things I Learned," a detailed (and hopefully stylish) Character Index (Dramatis Personae) is now available here.

  • The Kindle version of the novel has been revised to include both the Dramatis Personae and the Vertigo excerpt.

iTunes, Audiobook, Interview & 5 Quirky Things

Here in beautiful Colorado, we foolishly assumed spring had at last arrived on account of the 70+ degree temperatures last week. We were wrong, as evidenced by the snow currently coating the back yard. It's never boring in Colorado.

  • First, welcome to all the new subscribers who have signed up since finishing Starshine. It's great to have you here :).

  • New blog post, 5 Things I Learned Writing (and Publishing) Starshine. Give this one a read, I think it's worth your time.

  • Starshine is now available on iTunes! I'll spare you the tale of woe which caused it to take 7 weeks and simply say - check it out for your iPad or iPhone.
