Wow! Our entire first print run of Mind Fuck is very close to selling out. As of today, I have two copies left that aren’t taken. We have more books on the way, but they’ll take about a week or so to get here. In the meantime, I just received the brand-new never-before-seen novella that will start Book 2 of the Administration series if we go ahead and publish the rest of the stories. Guess who’s going to have a lot of fun proofreading tonight?
On to another subject entirely: It’s come to my attention (by virtue of unadvisedly entering a supermarket), that Giftmas is almost upon us. I also happen to think that books make a great gift for anyone–especially that distant cousin, aunt, or uncle, that leaves you drawing a complete blank when trying to come up with more creative gift ideas. And because of that we will run the following special gift-giving promotion while stocks last or through November 30th, whichever comes first:
