Now that the book release dust has settled, it’s time for an update.

I have three copies of Bitter Suites left from the Crypticon weekend. That was the best author event I’ve had to date, I think. I hooked up with a traveling bookstore and they will start offering Bitter Suites and a few of my other titles at the conventions they visit.

During the weekend, Bitter Suites climbed the “post-apocalypse” and “genetic engineering” charts, pushing my author rank almost to 3,000 in the science fiction genre.

I am trying to push for reviews on Bitter Suites right now, and am willing to give a nice prize.  Find out how to win $25—100 in an Amazon gift card  by entering the Bitter Suite Reviews contest.

I’d like to get 50 reviews minimum, the number needed for Amazon algorithms to pick a book up and start promoting it. Only 45 reviews to go 🙂 I’ll be hitting up Goodreads and making the promo circuit this week.
