"Greg," you clamor, " when will Kid vs. Squid, your first middle-grade novel, the rights for which have reverted to you, once again be available in ebook format?" Now. The answer is now. You can get it at that place where everyone buys books & diapers or on Kobo.

Don’t read the comments. Any of them. Not a single one. If you read a comment you will die from a tortion injury. It will hurt.

What’s with used books being listed by sellers on Amazon at ridiculous markups? You can pick up Kid vs. Squid for three or six bucks or for $101.26 and it’s not luke they’re shipping it from McMurdo Station. Seriously, what’s the game here?

I've never asked for followers, but I'm doing so now because if I can get 1K follows on Instagram I'll be able to livestream in the event I suffer or witness MAGA enforcement wrongdoing. I don't post often there, and when I do it's mostly dog pics.

MAGA should be relieved for now that the rest of us aren’t as violent as they say we are.

How long until there’s a CBS series about ICE, and Adam B*ldwin plays an ICE commander with a heart of gold saving immigrants who came over the “right way” from Venezuelan narco terrorists?

I’d do it for beer, pizza, or guitars.
I don't know a single writer who has been asked to do product placement in their work, or at least, if they have, they have not admitted so to me. Nor have I ever been approached with an offer for product placement of any sort. I would be unlikely to entertain such an offer. I don't need the money.
@scalzi.com is this true? Do brands pay the big bucks for product placement in books?

Star Wars Rebels. It's the best Star Wars.

Hate how surviving as a working artist is so dependent on tech companies that are aggressively adopting the business model of stealing from artists in every way imaginable.
