Reminder - Interview at Reviews by jessewave

My interview on Reviews by jessewave is tomorrow, October 27th, 2009. I'll be there to answer reader comments off and on all day, and commenting will automatically enter you in a drawing to win an autographed copy of Want Me. Unless you don't want my third grade scrawling messing up the book. Then you have the option of no autograph. :)

The site address is http://www.reviewsbyjessewave.com/, and you don't have to register to comment. Topics in the interview will range from muscle growth to sadistic semes (it's all a rich tapestry, really), and I'd be siked if you stopped by!

The above bit of genius had me laughing hysterically at four in the morning. Thank you to Xyggurat for giving me permission to post it. You rock socks.

If you're unfamiliar with the Doctor Who universe, there's a Dalek article on Wikipedia. :)

Interviews! And Prizes!

I have two interviews coming up. One will be on Rain on Roof (http://sharrow.wordpress.com/) Monday, October 19th. There I’ll talk about writing, Pocky, manga. She asked me about my favorite shoes and rather than try and describe their shabby awesomeness I took a picture for her, so you get to see the footwear I sport almost every day if that’s the sort of thing that does it for you. :D Also, one of my currently published e-books will be given away in a drawing (you have to comment to enter -- the winner will get to choose which story they’d like). I’ll be at the blog on and off all day, and I’m looking forward to having a lot of fun conversing in the comments section with whoever shows up!

On Tuesday, October 27th, I’ll be interviewed on Reviews by Jessewave (http://www.reviewsbyjessewave.com/). I’ll be talking about writing, muscle growth, and ceiling fans. The prize given away will be an autographed copy of Want Me. If you already own Want Me, I imagine we could switch the prize up to an 8x10 glossy print of one of my book covers, or my Boy Meets Bishie logo. Your choice. Once again, you’ll have to comment in order to be entered.

Neither site requires registration to comment.

A weird quirk of timing is responsible for me having two interviews this month. My last interview (which, incidentally, was also my first interview) was done back in 2007, so it’s been a while. I gotta say—I’m a bit nervous. I hope to see you there, and I also hope I don’t stick my foot in my mouth. ;)

Fiction? Reality? Eh. It's a fine line.

Thought I'd share one of the articles I'd read while working on One Shot:

Will it have accidental side effects similar to the ones in my story? If so, then I'm thinking a needle in the arm is definitely worth it. ;)

Random Announcement

So I'm a Goodreads author now. I'm not really sure what that means, but I've added some stuff to my profile that hopefully doesn't make it look too clunky. Still feeling my way around, but you can check it out here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1257463.Rowan_McBride.

Nick Carlyle understands the intricacies of his job better than anyone. He lives to crunch those numbers and his skills are valued throughout the company. If his personal life might be lacking, he doesn't notice, especially whenever he steals a harmless glance or two at Riley Jameson's tight body. But he's the boss, and that means look but don't touch.

When a universal flu shot is developed, it's hailed as a miracle, and rightly so. But the seemingly harmless side effects begin to change the world, warping the statistics that Nick's always used to guide him through life. Everything he thought he knew is suddenly upside down.

No one changes as much as Riley. Suddenly the young man is bigger, stronger. He's also aggressive in ways Nick isn't prepared for, and for the first time analyzing the numbers does nothing to help the situation.

Now, his numbers only add up when it comes to Riley.
