Josiah Stubb NEEDS Your Help!!!! - 2014 Authorsdb Book Cover Contest

Some of you might remember my haranguing you to vote for Josiah Stubb for the 2014 authorsdb book cover contest, in the Action Adventure category. You'll be pleased to know that he's made it to the semi-finals. Now they've given me ONE WEEK (yikes!) to garnish enough votes to get him to the finals, so I have to put my haranguing hat on again.

Same procedure as before: Please follow the link, scroll down until you see the five stars, and click on the fifth one. http://authorsdb.com/books/2014-book-cover-contest/2014-book-cover-semi-finalists-end/action-adventure-semi/josiah-stubb

Please, share this with your friends, the guy behind the counter at your local convenience store, your member of parliament (where applicable,) the person next to you at a red light on an intersection, the policeman that's writing you a ticket for holding up traffic, and anyone else you can think of. It would be very much appreciated...by me. They, on the other hand, might have a different POV, but still...

One other thing: comments are appreciated, too. You have to sign in for that, but it takes, like, a nano-second, and it helps keep the book at the top of the list, and easier to spot for the idle scroller.

Thanks very much!

I've already mentioned the part about my being included on the cover, haven't I? I just think that's so cool!

This Is Just One More Part About Being A Writer That's Just Sooooo Cool!!

One of the really neat things about being a writer, that I'd really never considered before, is the part about getting in touch with all of you excellent people out there. Sometimes that's expressed by simply buying my books; I mean, that's such a cool thing to try to get my head around - people actually spending their hard earned money to read my stuff; then there are those wonderful folks who write a review, which is always so very gratifying, and sorely needed. Then, a few months ago, when Kelly Matthews and I agreed on a trade: a signed copy of 'The Adventures of Charlie Smithers' in exchange for an actual blanket from the Maasai Mara, I was pretty much over the moon. Here's a photo I took in mid-September:

I couldn't have been happier with the trade - Like, I had an actual blanket woven with a genuine Maaisai pattern to decorate my office. But then, as if that wasn't enough, Kelly (whose father-in-law actually lives on the Mara) decided to send me these as well:

The figurines are named after characters in the book: Musa and Loiyan, and will hold a place of honour on the little work table beside my desk. The little knitted blanket, Kelly informs me, is for my cat, Barney. I know that he'll appreciate it as much as I appreciate the blanket and figurines. I'll admit that I'm not the most thoughtful person, maybe that's why it feels so humbling to come across someone who is.

Thank you, Kelly. Very much!

Charlie Smithers - Pretty Freakin' Surreal!

I thought that this was kinda cool: Charlie Smithers is ahead of my idol, George MacDonald Fraser. Actually, that's pretty freakin' surreal! Patrick O'Brian, on the other hand... But hey! At least I'm on the same page!
