Progress
Since I last posted roughly five days ago, I've gotten quite a bit of stuff done. I worked a lot, because I do that from time to time. I finished my press packet and sent it out to a few places. I'm going to send the rest on Monday. I only have about about 8 local leads for press. But that should help out. Haven't heard back from my contact at the bookstore about how many books they're ordering. I'm hoping it's right around 50, but who knows. I just don't want to find out at the last minute that I need to order my own books. That would such and I've no idea where I'd come up with $200 on the fly. I also asked about signage but I haven't heard anything yet. If H needs to make me more signs, I'll need to know about it soon.
Early responses for Kiss Me Like You Love Me have been very positive. I'm really looking forward to the release, so I can let it loose on people. I have a feeling it's going to be a bit more accessible for people. This may translate to increased sales and better WOM than Sadie. Sadie got some great reviews but word of mouth didn't really take off. A dear friend of mine from college is actually selling her copies of my books on Amazon. Ouch!
I am seriously going to start looking over my zombie stuff tomorrow so I can start some character drafts. I don't have anyone to see The Crazies with, BTW. It is my hope that someone cool will want to go with me. I really need to befriend more horror fans in my area. Don't know why you should see it? Well feast your peepers!
Peter Vronsky's second book finally arrived. It's a sequel to his first book. This one focuses on female serial killers. Reviews imply that Vronsky has issues with women, and that his writing is very slanted. I didn't pick up anything like that from the book about men (that also mentions a few women), so I'm interested to see what I think.
Still digging the hell out of The Girl Next Door. I may hunt down the movie after I'm done reading it. But no one actually told me the movie is any good, so I'm no no rush.
I'm watching the old Batman movie on TV. Of course, it is really campy. Was the comic book still campy at this point? Was it ever? Is the campiness a stylistic choice made because of an inherent disrespect for the source material? What's the deal with all that? The last Batman comic I read is The Killing Joke. It is really amazing, but fucking DARK. I imagine it's not all that dark, but damn. That Joker is batshit. Pun intended. ;-]
Hoping to go to bed early tonight, which I will do by NOT playing anymore Facebook games tonight.
