Why a good copywriter is important for your business, Part XXXVI: Our fiber line is ready for service. We have two options for service providers at our location. As I can write off the cost as a business expense, I will order either 50- or 100Mbit service, at a cost of $99 or $199 a…

from the desk of the ink-splasher.
I checked Amazon over the weekend, and it looks like Lines of Departure is available for pre-order in all formats (Kindle, paperback, and unabridged audio) for the January 28th release. (Terms of Enlistment will also be released as a new, “Director's Cut” edition at the same time and in the same formats.) I know that…
it’s back.
Behold: the product page for Terms of Enlistment is already back on Amazon. You’ll notice a few minor changes: the publisher, some details in the book description, and the digital list price. It’s listed as “pre-order for May 14, 2013”, but I have it on good authority that it will be available for purchase again…
“terms of enlistment” availability.
To abide by the terms of my publishing contract, I can no longer offer Terms of Enlistment directly as of today. If you want to purchase a copy, you’ll have to wait until May 14th, when 47North releases Terms of Enlistment again on Amazon. The good news is that this time, there will also be…
worst product idea of the decade.
The hilarious Amazon product review page of the month: the Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk. (Yes, it’s a desk you can put on your car’s steering wheel.) The comments are gold, but pay particular attention to the customer images.
lucky thirteen, now on the kindelmaschine.
I released my short story “Lucky Thirteen” on Amazon Kindle. It’s a very slightly edited version of the one some of you may have read already when I released it on the blog a year or two ago, so if you’ve already read that version, those $0.99 won’t get you anything new except a cover…

so i was wrong about the self-publishing thing.
I had this long and very clever blog post witten in which present-day Marko rebuts the arguments of 2011 Marko in opposition of self-publishing, but it came across all braggy and smarmy, so I deleted the draft and decided to start over. Yes, two years ago I wrote a lengthy blog post detailing why I’d…
a tale of a rejection, and the straw that made the cup run over, or something.
Somewhere out there is a literary agent (who shall remain unnamed here) who asked for science fiction submissions on Twitter the Friday before last. I was in bed at the time, reading my Twitter feed on the iPad (as one does), so I got out of bed again to send that agent a query letter…
music recommendation.
I’m sort of a late adopter, but I love Pandora now. I was suffering from severe Playlist Fatigue Syndrome with my iTunes library, and Pandora has fixed that issue for me rather handily. We paid for the annual subscription to get commercial-free streaming. It’s nice to have an infinite playlist matching a particular mood or kind of…
