First up, a big thanks to Robert Swartwood, who let me blabber on about a particular kind of murder book. Rob's latest is a collection of short fiction called, Phantom Energy, which looks like a winner.
Second, I just received my formal invitation to panel at The 26th Annual Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival in March of 2012. Yes, this is the festival with the Stella/Stanley shouting contest. I am not overstating things when I say that being asked to participate is a dream com true.
But to darker matters. The free kindle version of Death Wishing has been available since Friday, but the early ratings on Amazon are disappointing enough that the publisher has suggested we pull the offer early. I'm opposed to that, at least right now, mainly because I don't want to let negative reviews chase me off the experiment, especially now that the freebie is available internationally (except UK and Europe, looks like). My attitude towards the one star ninjas is that their points of view amount to rejections, and I've got plenty of those that I don't think twice about. If, however, it looks like I'm dropping off the Top 100, I'll reconsider my martyrdom.

Your publisher must consider the fact that Amazon can be a snakepit. And that sources must be considered.
Gasp! Did I just begin a sentence with And??
Love you, K.
