Opposed to SOPA and PIPA? Me, too. I’m not going to detail everything that is wrong with them here, that would take too long. If you haven’t heard of them: A) where have you been? Under a rock? and B) Go look them up. Do it now. I’ll wait.
Okay, you’re back. Good. Did you read about them? Horrified? I hope so. That’s why i’m including this link to Google’s petition. Sign it. Let your government know that you are opposed to this stupidity. I did. I only wish I could sign it eighty more times.
That’s right, for all you fans of The Dead Man books, here is the latest installment. Fire and Ice, by Jude Hardin. Here’s a quick look at the cover:
“The saga of Matthew Cahill continues as the man who sees a nightmarish netherworld nobody else does fights to save us all—and his own soul—from the clutches of the purely evil Mr. Dark.
On Matt’s third day of temping at a plant, disgruntled former worker Kevin Radowski (aka K-Rad) walks in and starts shooting. As the day progresses and the body count rises, Matt finds himself locked inside with four fellow employees—and no discernible way out. Matt soon realizes K-Rad has more in mind than killing his co-workers…he’s using the chemicals available to blow the plant, and several square blocks of surrounding businesses and residences, sky high. But just when Matt thinks things can’t get any worse, Mr. Dark steps into the game, raising the stakes in a gruesome and horrifying way.
Fire and Ice delivers the non-stop action, high body count, and edgy thrills that make The Dead Man series impossible to put down.”
Sound cool? That’s ’cause it is. One of the best books in an already great series. So do yourself a favor and check it out.
Well, past time, actually. But I have good reasons for being late. they involve illness and being out of town, then having guests when I got back in town. In all honesty, I haven’t had much time to sit at the computer in the last…oh…month or so. But that changes today. Tomorrow morning will be the first morning that I actually sit down at the comp and start working again. I had meant to do it Monday, but Cole hasn’t been cooperating. Come to think of it, he might not cooperate tomorrow, either. Here’s hoping. I need to get my butt back to work.
Anyhoo, without further ado, here are my resolutions for 2012:
1. I will write more and surf less.
2. I will spend as much time with my family as I can.
3. I will not go crazy trying to make my first two resolutions work together
4. I will ride my bicycle at least 30 minutes every day. (So far that one is the easiest.)
5. I will buy this bike:
Nice, eh? I can’t afford a new one, so I am looking for a good used example. This thing is light, fast, and just MADE for me.
Ok, so that’s all I have, really. Oh, and I also plan to promote more. I should have a couple of good blog reviews coming up this month and next, but I also plan to buy a few promotional spots on high traffic websites. You guys are great, but I need more of you. Two die-hard fans just ain’t gonna cut it for the long haul.
Anyhoo, I hope you folks all had a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year’s. Here’s hoping that 2012 proves to be a better year than 2011 for all of us. (And no, I’m not saying that 2011 was bad, I just hope 2012 is BETTER!)
