  • Free print Lit Journals through January 16th

    Free print Lit Journals through January 16th

    Now, through the end of the year January 16th, every order of the print version of Charactered Pieces will include a free back issue of a literary journal (orders direct from the publisher only; no Amazon.com orders for this deal). I’ll even let you pick which one you’d like (just put the title in the COMMENTS/SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS section of the PayPal checkout). The list is below (it’s a long one; study it carefully). Contact me if you want to know the content of a specific issue.

    Keep in mind that the cover price for most of these journals is well above the $6 for Charactered Pieces. Just try to make a bad deal out of that. One way, I guess, would be to put all of the money you save into an emergency cash loan. But really, don’t do that.

    I know that some of you out there have considered purchasing a literary journal in the past, but because it’s hard to part with money when the exact acquisition is questionable, you don’t. Here’s a chance to make that leap a bit easier.

    $7 – Buy from OW Press

    Blog Orgy Tour stop #7: Breach your comfort zone

    SimonHEADER

    Today, I stop at the lovely Simon West-Bulford’s blog to talk about the importance of reading outside your comfort zone. Click here to take in the genius (“genius” is German for “post,” right?). Also, you may have to manually search the site for this post (there is no permalink available).

    See all the other stops and dates at the Blog Orgy Tour page.

    And please, spread the love via Twitter, Facebook, or by any other means. Spread the love like a herpes outbreak.

    Blog Orgy Tour stop #6: The Watch List

    Jason at What to Wear During an Orange Alert was kind enough to have me splash my opinions all over his Friday Watch List column. Groupies beware: the rockstar you’ve come to love might have some tastes that will force you to reevaluate your infatuation with me. And if this list doesn’t do it, my b.o probably will.

    EWN_header

    Today, I do a double-header. Not only do I offer my Charactered Pieces playlist at Justin Holt’s blog, but the Emerging Writers Network blog has been kind enough to post my holiday gift list.  EWN was recently named one of OnlineDegree’s top 50 lit blogs. And let’s be honest, if you are waiting until today to do your holiday shopping, you likely need this list. Thank me later. Over a beer.

    Blog Orgy Tour stop #3: Making myself a Charactered Piece

    I might get a tattoo. Read about it at Nik Korpon’s blog, you filthy, filthy groupie.

    Then read about other skin deformities (sesame sauce-blistered skin, for example) in my chapbook, Charactered Pieces. Only $7 for a print copy, or $2 for a PDF eBook version.

    Blog Orgy Tour stop #2: Give an author a damn chance

    Today at Mel Bosworth’s blog I post about the power of a single story to open up an author’s entire catalog. Prove you’re a good groupie and head over now.
