Video killed the...radio star? Wait, I'm not on the radio. Yeah!

Okay, so, it's a vlog. (Butchered movie quote anyone?)Yes, I now have a vlog (video blog) in addition to the text blog. I'm going to talk about my books, Variance Publishing (which I co-own) and answer questions on camera. Should be interesting and hopefully humerous. Judge for yourself! Here it is:

Also new is the video trailer for KRONOS. This is my best video trailer yet and it really captures feel of the book, which is coming out in January. Also, be sure to check out the cover. It's AMAZING.



KRONOS is now available for pre-order so snag it on Amazon...OR order a bunch of copies from B&N or Borders, then when it comes out, pick up just one. They'll have to shelve the others. Turn them face out! BWA HAAHAHA!
