Bean Fosters

Bean Fosters, the aforementioned local book/coffee shop, posted this picture on their FB page today with the caption, "Just rotated our new arrivals table! It now includes Armageddon: Pick Your Plot, a "choose your own adventure" concerning the apocalypse by a local author - it's provided much entertainment..."

They seemed a little hesitant when I called about selling our book (which I totally understand b/c I was just some random person haha) but I was so happy when I met the owner Truett because he's so nice and was super supportive. Am looking forward to spending more time at Bean Fosters. They are just far enough off campus to be a good hiding spot, and have the best hot cocoa in town! Mmmm...

Indy author publicity -

mistakes, learning, winning.

Now that we have the book published, we've started doing more 'publicity' and figuring out our (my) branding. Yes, I know people say we should have started that before we actually published.. But this is one of those hindsight things :)

Have spent a bunch of time getting the book and our author pages (me, Dan) up on Goodreads, and this week I contacted a small local bookstore about carrying some copies. They didn't sound too optimistic, but offered to start with three and see how we do! It seems that previous attempts with local authors involved prices that were prohibitively high, so they were pleased at our low price and at our nostalgia factor. Hopefully it works out!

Guest Post!

**streeeeetttttcccchhhhhh**
G'mornin' everyone! I have a guest post up over at the Blogging from A-Z site today (permalink). It's about how we came to write the book, and how A-Z played a bit of a part in that.

For those bloggers out there I highly encourage you to check them out. A-Z is a load of fun and a great way to meet other cool blogging types! For my buddies I met through A-Z last year - hi :) Are you participating this spring?

Armageddon Release!

It's heeeeeere! Our book has been officially released!

I am so excited to announce the release of Armageddon: Pick Your Plot.
You can find it on Amazon or CreateSpace, and I encourage you to follow our Facebook page for updates and fun tidbits about the book :)

Many, many thanks to everyone who has been so supportive through this process - my friend Ben for his editing awesome'ness, Alison and Chris for their *ahem* technical expertise and patience, and to my fabulous co-author and design guru Dan for dragging me into this. I would choose all of you to be on my Zombie Apocalypse team, any time!

One more day!

One more day till the release of Armageddon!

 If you only had one day left on Earth, how would you spend it?
