SECRET BASE—The Annual Shareholder Meeting at Cobra headquarters was somber as CEO Cobra Commander stood before investors and delivered the bad news: profits were down, and they had won only two battles in the last year. Though the first quarter had shown a significant increase in profits, the next three were riddled with large expenditures and poor management decisions. Analysts cite the determined efforts of Cobra’s evil nemeses, the G.I. Joes, as the key factor in their hardship.

“Real talk, guys,” Cobra Commander said in the midst of his thirty-one slide PowerPoint presentation that detailed their failures. “Winning against the Joes is getting tougher and tougher. They’ve got ‘knowing’ so they’ve already won half the battle. The most we could ever hope to win is the other half.”

I have a few things to tell you; none of it flows in a decent order and I always feel silly talking about myself, so bear with me. The number one question I’ve been getting these days is if there will be a sequel to THE FOURTH CHANNEL. The answer is yes—very much yes. I’m

Hey gang—I apologize for the lack of funnies on the site today. I have some important things to share… and I can’t promise that I’m not going to get a little misty-eyed. (Sorry in advance.) I promise you’re going to get a new Predator mash-up later this week. First, we have to talk.

First of all, I want to thank everyone who came out to support the release of my debut novel, THE FOURTH CHANNEL. The book has been out for seven weeks now. Back when I was getting ready to release TFC, nearly a dozen author friends came out of the woodwork, offering to feature my book on their blogs. I also had more than a half-dozen book bloggers who agreed to read and review my book. Okay, the publicity was a pittance in comparison to the fanfare Jim Butcher gets, but I was thrilled!

I’m excited to announce that my debut novel, THE FOURTH CHANNEL, has been released on ebook at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble! (A paperback version is coming in the next month. I’ll keep you posted.) This project has been a long time coming and I’m thrilled to finally see it done. The acknowledgments page even has a little shout-out to you guys because, without your support and interaction, I wouldn’t have been so excited–or driven–to publish.

Over the last year and a half, a lot of you have asked how you can offer support. The most obvious way is to purchase a copy of the book. It’s $3.99 USD. If you enjoy this website and all the fun freebies here, please pick up a copy. It would mean a lot to me, not to mention encourage me to keep going with this blog.

I was recently tagged in a blog hop by the magnificent Steven Montano. In the past, I’ve shied away from these kinds of personal posts because I didn’t have a lot to talk about. Now that I’m on the cusp of releasing my first novel, THE FOURTH CHANNEL, these won’t bore you. I promise to do more of these “update” type posts from time to time, to keep you updated on my projects, and when you’ll see stories from me next.

This blog hop started on She Writes, which is a writing community I belong to. The way it works is this:

Answer ten standard questions about your current novel in progress and try not to bore everyone in the process. Include some pictures if possible.
 Tag five other writers/bloggers by sending them an email and then add their links to the end of your interview post. Their answers should go up the week after.

So here we go!
