I see that you haven’t been asked about a kindle edition for almost a year. So where are we on that? The very concept of this book makes me all tingly inside, and I feel compelled procure it in one form or another.
If a kindly edition is around the corner, I would not have to trawl the internets for all related tidbits and scraps of information in between neurotic mailman-hunting during the long wait for the papery edition.

Thanks man! I hope to get to the superhero book some time this year. There will be a few books released before that one. Still, I’m excited about it.

Half way through and I’m itching to roll my dice! You rolled a 00 with this book! I’ve already recommended it to a patient who’s hubby is a D&Der.
Sorry to disappoint, but I didn’t cut out the character sheets or map. I like to keep my books intact. Love all the Dr Who references as well. I think I should be buying directly from you instead of via Amazon so you’ll get a bigger cut!

Wow – was excited to buy the book (and start reading it immediately) but got my bubble popped by the lack of digital versions. I totally get the importance of maintaining the artistic vision of your book, but I think you’re making it too complicated. When you talked about having the paper on hand it does sound like a fun way to read it.

So – why not just put the character sheet and dungeon map on your website in PDF format? People can reference and print them out as they please -and even if they buy the print version they don’t have to physically damage the book.

Just a thought.

thanks, Carlton, for all that help & info!

Phil Dick wrote like that, I read once. he’d make copious notes for ages, then lock himself in a room, never check the notes & he’d knock out a book in a few days.

last ass-pain question: do you rewrite? if so, how much?

also, part of your style reminds me a lot of Richard Brautigan (I love In Watermelon Sugar & Willard and His Bowling Trophies), do you read/like him?

thanks for everything!

Color does exist in the kindle format, just not for the kindle hardware – I use the kindle software on color hardware. Definitely seeing color images =)

I’m not a multi-tasker. I’m a one project at a time kind of a person. I have no idea how writers can write a little every day unless they have no other choice. When I start a book I lock myself in a room somewhere for days until the book is done. Sometimes it is just a few days or over a month. I’ll write 16 hours a day every day during this time with no distractions. I basically live inside that book until it is done. Even the really stupid books like this one.

There is the New Bizarro Author Series that is open to subs as long as you don’t have any books out yet. Go to eraserheadpress.com for information on that.
