July 18 & 19th "What Zombies Fear: A Father's Quest" will be free on Amazon. This is a really cool zombie apocalypse series that I have been reading for a while. (In fact in the 3rd book I'm a character and I get to die - cool huh?).
The paperwork isn't all done yet, but I've accepted Brilliance audio's offer on the Early Years trilogy (starting with COLD CITY in the fall) and all the remaining unrecorded Repairman Jack novels.
This was a lot of fun to see in a crowded theater. People felt free to cheer on their favorite hotties during dance routines. The audience was mostly women but a few guys were there (mainly dragged there by their girlfriends from what I could tell). One guy, to embarass his girlfriend, shouted "yeah, my man Matthew" when Matthew appeared on stage. It added to the fun.
Definitely go while it's still popular enough to draw large crowds.
I came across this article this morning. I don't know if anyone has already posted about this, but having also just finished Fatal Error this morning, it was a little disturbing.

The Kindle folks converted the old .pdf files of the LaNage novels for me in return for an exclusive on them. The period of exclusivity is done and so now I'm expanding distribution. DYDEETOWN WORLD has been up for a while, and now AN ENEMY OF THE STATE is available for $2.99 in all e-formats HERE. HEALER and WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS to follow soon.
6/1-3 - at a microcon where they’re serving thousands of $$ worth of craft beers. Ever have coffee-flavored stout with breakfast? Neither had I.
6/5 - you DO know that we're on a collision course with Andromeda, right? Here's a mind-boggling rendition of what the sky will look like when that happens. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120604.html
6/6 - live, acoustic Beach Boys. They look like train wrecks, but that harmony is still there. http://tinyurl.com/bs8xlnj
6/21 - this video has been around a long time but I still laugh every time I see it: [video=youtube;tuj9tU5tAP4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuj9tU5tAP4[/video]
6/21 - flying up to NH for a guest speaker gig at Porcfest, the annual libertarian gathering. My first time there. Should be fun.
6/22 - Porcfest: agorists, anarchists, minarchists, voluntarists, Free Staters, open-carrying gays (straights too) - no gov't in sight.
6/23 - the Porcfest green room has Hendricks and Patron. I hate these decisions.
6/29 - okay, I've said I'm not doing short fiction anymore, but I was asked to contribute to an E.R. Burroughs tribute anthology. How could I refuse? I spent the first half of my teens devouring his stuff. Terrible prose, excruciating dialogue, wonderful imagination. I know the ultimate secret of Pellucidar. Must... reveal...
6/30 - my Pellucidar novelette is practically writing itself (now, if the damn thing would only TYPE itself...)
