Oh look! A totally personal, non-publishing related post. Yep, the Mayans were right. The world is ending this year.
Just in case anyone’s wondering why I picked such an odd little anime avatar, I should probably mention that for 2012, I’ve decided to go back to my red-blonde hair. I’m also pretty much wearing it exactly like that –>
Yes, I have anime-hair. No, really. I’m also proud to announce that I’ve lost quite a bit of weight over the past couple months. I did pretty much what Alec Baldwin did recently and cut out all the sugars and starches from my diet. Totally unrelated, perhaps, but Mr. Baldwin’s finally bringing his sexy back. ^_^
Did I mention he’s one of my favorite actors and I can watch The Shadow over and over?
So, yep, believe it or not, I do look like my avatar. And she’s so cute! I used Dress Up to make her. The function for saving her wasn’t working correctly, or was saving in some format my computer had problems reading, so when you’re done making your own avatar, I suggest using the Print Screen on your keyboard to save the whole image and cut your avatar out in your favorite art program.
OK, that is all. As you were.
So I started a Kindlegraph account so readers who would like to purchase a signed/personally inscribed copy of one of my ebooks can do so here:

It seems a little weird, signing ebooks, but hey, I’m game! I hope it pleases a few readers!

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who entered the VVB32 Halloween Giveaway for a print and electronic copy of A Clockwork Vampire. There were a lot of entries and my friend Velvet recently chose two winners. Both have had her books shipped. I hope you guys enjoy the debut book of what I hope will be a very successful urban fantasy series—and so far, it seems to be shaping up that way!
But if you did not win, fear not, because you can still get a very affordable copy of A Clockwork Vampire by using the links below. And remember, if you have an Amazon Prime Membership, you can “borrow” the ebook and read it for absolutely free on your Kindle.
Thanks again for making A Clockwork Vampire my bestselling title in the latter part of 2011!

And the really wonderful thing is The Sasha Strange Chronicles received an honorable mention. Thanks to Peter D. Schwotzer and LM for the mention.
I was really inspired by Michele Lee’s post on her various victories and distractions of 2011, so you can see this as a kind of response. I thought it was time I reflected on 2011 as well. Read more »
