Two people who read my blog received their copies of my first action/comedy science fiction novel from my series ‘The Otherwhere Chronicles. And now, by pure coincidence, they are both reading it at about the same speed and commenting on my blog as they finish chapters. This is the best feedback that there ever was.
It is one thing to have someone say they liked the whole book. But somehow this is different. I get to hear which parts they specifically liked and even better than that, I get to hear how excited they are about what is going to happen next.
It makes me want to turn my blog into the world’s biggest book club, get you all to read my books, and then we discuss them in great depth…
Oh come on… you know you want to…
Pouring My Art Out 
Hello .. Lately I have been reading your blog and seriously, think you are a good writer with great talent .. What’s the name of your Novel? I would love to check it out.. Best of Luck xoxo
It is right there in the top right corner on the sidebar… the picture of the book… if you click on it, it takes you to the paperback version, but it is on e-readers too… and welcome. Thanks.
Thank you xoxo
xoxo is funny… because there is a race of aliens in the book called the Xxo…
It’s like handing a nuclear weapon to Dr No
When evil villains go on welfare…
you want villains to do good? what? I don’t understand.
I don’t even remember what that joke was about, but I know it was funny.
Yeahhhhh…. a sci-fi book club… if you had mentioned that 20 years ago I would have laughed my head off! Now… where do I sign up! hahaha…. I’m glad you’re enjoying the feedback! I’m definitely enjoying the story. There are certain things I can’t seem to shake off the top of my head… I mean.. get off my mind.
Maybe I should do a post where people can talk about the book!
Yeah why not!
right
It’s probably just as much fun for us as it is for you! I’m afraid to comment too much though… I don’t want to be the cause of spoilers!
Or you might get people interested in reading it…
Are you using me as a marketing ploy? 😉
Well… yeah…
That’s okay… use me any way you wish 😉
…………….
That is a lot of elipses…
eclipses… of ellipses…
I hope I didn’t get you too excited…
No you don’t
That hurts 😦
Yes you do?
Rrrrr
I have nowhere else to go with this, do I?
Ummmm…. depends
sigh
What’s wrong?
we always end up back at innuendo.
I have no idea what you’re implying…
I am trying to get my new book in the sidebar and I just lost the other links… I am screwed…
Did you save any changes?
yeah… but I had the wrong one open
Ok… just don’t do anything else for a sec
Let me go in and see what your site looks like from my computer
A link is there that takes me to the bookpatch website for the monkey book…
I am trying to get the pictures of both covers up with links… I hate this stuff.
How many links were there and what were they
One for the sci fi and one for the new book…
Ok the monkey one is good. The sci fi one just needs the link
The pictures have disappeared…
Hmm. I’m waiting for my daughter to finish filling out a grant application on my desktop. The mobile version on my phone and tablet work differently.
How do I get the image url in there?
First off… do you have the url?
I am trying to remember how I did it last time
I can walk you through it as soon as my daughter is finished on my computer. I have to actually be looking at it to explain it… I’m one of THOSE people.
I will never forget it if you can walk me back from the edge…
I believe you
She said about 15 more minutes. I would kick her off if it wasn’t important stuff for college…
That is totally fine…
You made me panic…
I made me panic…
Ok. No more panicking.
It’s what I do best…
Me too…
well there you go.
Where am I going?
You tell me.
Probably crazy.
oh…
You thought I was already there huh!
Who know what I think???
???
knows… I meant knows… not that that makes any more sense…
Well… if the qualm knew then your first question would be correct…
They know a lot but understand nothing!
I love them.
I keep meaning to add more parts for them, but they do some cool stuff as the stories go on.
I really do like the concept of them and the pictures you drew match nicely with the way I imagine them
I have another blog friend who really loves them too.
I wish I could be one…
Try it…
That’s what I’ll dress as next Halloween.
That would be cool.
I know!!!
I am trying to make a costume of one of the pirates or a Xxo.
By next Halloween your book will be well known, and people across the country will be dressed as various characters!
But some of them might be actual aliens…
Oh no… that would be bad… if we could tell humans apart from aliens!
It wont come to that.
Ok good… that would be confusing and possibly dangerous!
Maybe… for the aliens…
Haha
I haven’t been able to read any more yet, that’s why my comments stopped by the way
That’s fine… don’t rush… digest it slowly…
Everything in me wants to keep reading and not stop until I’m done…
That is nice to hear.
Once I’m done I’m going to want the next one… I won’t be able to stop thinking about it!
I will do what I can.
Haha I know. It’s ok. I’m just OCD about stuff like that… I’ll just have to be patient.
That is the only way to be.
You sound like my cat… well, what she would say if she spoke English instead of Meowish…
I can live with that… now get me some milk…
Cats aren’t servants… it’s the other way around, if you hadn’t noticed… =^..^=
I am pretending I am a cat too… so we are both cats… and I am a bigger cat… so get the milk.
But I don’t have thumbs…
Well… um…
Regurgitation?
Well I ain’t milking you… I don’t have thumbs either… HA!
Um… I could go so many places with this…
Tell me about it.
Well… I’m sure you could find another way… another part to use…
I could, but I’m not going to…
Did you go to the insert media part yet?
I put the picture in a new post page… and tried copying different stuff…
Ok you need to do it through ypur blogroll
Do I have one of those???
Sounds like a personal question…
All questions are personal.
Yikes
If you ask them to a person they are.
Haha…ha.
Was I wrong?
Never…
ha
So in your dashboard go to ‘links’
Go to the monkey one first
I am in links
Do you see the link for the monkey book?
no…
Do you see where it says blogroll?
yes
Ok. How many links does it say you have?
I don’t really see any links
Ok. Are you on the Link Categories page?
spam…
If you click on the number it will take you to the individual links
I don’t see a number anywhere
Oy. Ok. I wish I could remote access your computer that would be much easier. 😦
Do you see a little box that saus ‘bulk actions’
spam…
Wait… I got the monkey book pic in there…
You put it in the wrong spot!!!
spam…
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh… I did it on the monkey book… I don’t even know how… click on it and see if it worked…
No. It’s just an image. Now you have a link to order the monkey book withput a picture and a pic of the monkey book with no link where alien book should be…
spam…
Whatever you did to put it there, do the same thing but put it with the top link that goes to the merchant’s website
spam… wow… I didn’t end up doing it this way at all… ha
I got the other picture back… I was just copying the wrong thing…
Yeah but you took the link out…
spam…
The alien book link is broken. The monkey one works.
spam…
Ok you got it
spam… I never even saw these… I thought you gave up on me…
I was there the whole time…
I know you were… because you are cool.
Yes, I am. Ha!
You crack me up.
Better than being cracked down…
um… yeah…
Unless you like it like that…
well…
It’s ok. I won’t tell anyone.
um… it wants me to log in on facebook to comment.
Seriously???
Ugh. Now I have a problem.
And there is a bunch of Japanese adds…
who the heck is rocket news? Is this a reblog???
You’re overloading me!!! Do I really have a problem in my comments sections?
No… I was attached to the other post…
wait… you just reblogged that photoshop thing… never mind…
Oh… yeah I reblog stuff once in awhile if I think it’s important but I’ve committed to posting every day this month so there won’t be anymore reblogs for awhile
I just panicked again… ha
Me too… I still am…
sorry
So… you can’t comment on my blog at all? How is everyone else able to?
no… I didn’t see it was a reblog…
So my own posts you can comment on?
I just commented on one… it worked… deep breaths…
Hell now my sentences aren’t making sense…
now??? HA!
You’re good to go… now leave it alone before you give me a heart attack!!! 😉
Oh man… spam… I suck… you rock…
It might have worked… and I just followed you… and thanked you in the post… so…
It’s working now… did you not get my messages?
uh oh… let me check the spam
You haven’t been following me this whole time???!!!
And you’re welcome but I don’t think I really did anything that helped…
I am not a follower type of person… it is a very rare thing… and all your help comments got spammed… ha!!!
Well I feel honored then, so thank you for following me 🙂
Haha that’s awesome. I’m glad you were able to figure it out!
I really thought you just gave up, and left shaking your head.
And I feel bad that I wasn’t following you before, but I feel that way about a few other people and I haven’t started following them yet. You will know now that I am, because I comment on every post. That is why I can’t follow everybody.
No… I’m not like that…
I understand, don’t feel bad. Most of my posts are just my thoughts anyway… a way for me to let out frustration sometimes
You just let me be the judge of that from now on… HA!
Don’t be too harsh of a judge… remember, I haven’t reviewed your book or interviewed you yet…
Don’t threaten me, woman! I am nothing but honest.
Haha I know…
So deal with it.
I’ll try, no promises…
well me too.
I’m sort of glad that happened anyway, the alien book needed to be on top.
I just see some random stuff… discuss. get inspired. get polling, get support
Why is getting a url for an image going in an image thing so hard to do???
It’s one of life’s great mysteries, I’m afraid…
rrrrrrrrrrr
Hisssss
ahhhh
You sound refreshed…
ha
I shall try to remember to read yours next after the duology I am reading at the moment 🙂
I would think that anyone who knows the word duology would be able to read two things at once… ha! And my spell checker doesn’t even think it is a real word.
Neither does mine 😆 They are only short book anyway. When I wrote it, I had to check I spelt it right or write or Wright.
rite…
I forgot the last rite
Ha!
