So it’s been ten days today since the Lord of Chaos has been home from the hospital. (Cut for tl:dr/not interested veterinary stuff.) [Read more…]
Don’t Act So Surprised, Your Highness
WARNING/DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A DINA RANT. There will be language, NSFW, and heavy linking. If you’re okay with all that, read on.
So apparently the Internet blew up this weekend because people were… [Read more…]
The Lord of Chaos Lives Up To His Name
I’ve often found that most of the creatures of my menagerie name themselves, and they make good on those names. Sometimes a little more than they need to. (cut for tl;dr veterinary angst) [Read more…]
Eleventh Hour
Oy! You there! Let’s pull some 11th hour shenanigans and make Skyla Dawn Cameron watch TWILIGHT! Come on! Go here and see how you can make this happen! I know it’s late! I know it’s the last day of the month! I know shit is happening but let’s rock! http://www.skyladawncameron.com/blog/favouritethingsgiveaway
Also, if by some miracle you push things over $5000.00, I will sing Air Supply’s All Out Of Love. I shit you not. I will do it. I MEAN IT.
If you’ve already donated, thank you! If not, please consider it, or if you can’t, I’d appreciate a signal boost. We’ve got a few hours left here, people! Let’s make this happen!
Last Call
For those who don’t know, “last call” is a term used in bars. It means “get your last round of drinks now because we’re closing soon.”
For the purposes of this post, it means “if you want a copy of my books, you’d better order now, because they’re going away.”
That’s right. You read it.
All Wounds, Time Heals, and Light In A Dark World are going out of print soon (like, very soon). If you want them, get them now, because they’re going to be unavailable (legally, anyway – let’s not get into what’s out there on torrents I still haven’t smacked down) right quick.
Will they be back again someday, like Frosty the Snowman? Maybe. It will depend on a lot of things.
I’m sorry, I can’t give you any more details than that right now. All I can say is that if you want copies of those books, better hurry.
In Which I Finally Learn To Get Pics Off The Camera
So…I’m kind of a technophobe. I know, I know. It goes against every geekery bone in my body. Tech is wonderful, I’ll admit, but I find most electronic gadgetry (except power tools, which are like my candy) intimidating and I really don’t like change.
Lemme ‘splain. (Cut here for pic!spam) [Read more…]
Signal Boost – Abasement
I said ABASEMENT, not a basement. A basement is where I keep…uh…LOOK OVER THERE!
Want to see me abase myself? It will cost you $5000.00. Well, $4397.00 at the moment, really. Here’s how you can get me to do it:
Go to this blog post. Pick a charity. Donate. Send confirmation of your donation to the address on the post. Make the meter go up. When the meter hits $5000.00, I will sing Air Supply’s “All Out of Love.”
No, I mean it. I will. I said so, right here.
So yeah. Go forth and donate! There are shiny things there, too! Even if you don’t make me sing, you can still make Skyla watch all the Twilight movies back to back. And she’ll live tweet it, too.
Fundraising is evil.
Evil Monday
What? It is!
It’s my Monday over at the Evil League of Evil Writers. I totally recycled a post from 2008 today, because Dr. Dina is out of the office. I’m talking about timesuck.
Speaking of time, I don’t have a lot to spare right now, so I’m off!
Shiny Thing!
The second book in my friend Kerry Schafer’s Between series is scheduled for release in February, but the cover for it is out now! LOOK AT THE SHINY!
In celebration of this pretty shiny cover, she’s having a little party.
There are SHINY THINGS FOR YOU! Look! From her blog:
A hand painted penguin mug filled with chocolate, plus a free e-copy of my soon-to-be-released novella DREAM RUNNER!
Enter simply by sharing the WAKEWORLD cover somewhere on the net – your blog, FB, Twitter, Pinterest, or any other venue. Share the link with me, and you get entered to win! The more you share, the more entries and the better your chance of winning.
International entries are welcome and entries count through Monday, September 9, until Midnight PST.
What’s WAKEWORLD about? Well, I already told you it’s the second in her Between series. Here’s the blurb:
Vivian Maylor is trying to hold it together. But her attempts to build a life with the man she loves seem doomed by the dragon inside her yearning to break free. Vivian is a dreamshifter, the last line of defense between reality and the dreamworld, and the only one of her kind.
Weston Jennings also believes he is the only one of his kind. He fears his powers as a dreamshifter, and resists learning to control them. After suffering a tragic loss, Weston heads deep into the woods of the Pacific Northwest to embrace a safe life of solitude. But when a terrible mistake leads to an innocent’s death, his guilt drives him to his former home, where he encounters what he never thought he would find: another shifter.
Now Vivian and Weston must work together to defeat a new threat to the dreamworld.
Now, go forth and share the shiny! You can contact Kerry here once you’ve done that:

Her Facebook
Her Twitter
Congratulations, Kerry! It’s a gorgeous cover!
Why I Deleted My Facebook Account
Oh, and let’s not forget this.
As you can see, there are a lot of reasons I’m deleting my Facebook account. Frankly, I’ve had enough of Facebook. Of everything about it. Of all their little tricks and games and lies and mean things and changes and petty bullshit. I realize that Mark Zuckerberg says that movie The Social Network (which I just watched last week because reasons) isn’t entirely accurate, but after doing a little research on my own about it, I’m going to say that the parts I found entirely offensive were accurate enough for me. For instance, Napster founder Sean Parker is indeed a shareholder and helped get the company off the ground. You know…Napster. The thing that made stealing music (that’s right…DOWNLOADING THINGS FOR FREE WITHOUT PERMISSION IS STEALING. I’ve ranted about this before.) convenient, popular and socially acceptable (meaning you didn’t feel like you were doing anything wrong/stealing)? Yeah. That. That guy is partially behind the workings of Facebook. And I don’t want to be associated with him in any way, shape or form.
Now they say that by using their site, you’re agreeing to be in ads whether you want to be or not.
Huh.
Okay. If that’s the way you boys want to play, you’re welcome to do that. This is America and it is a free country after all. Which means I’m free not to use your site for anything ever again.
You tell me I can go fuck myself, well…turnabout is fair play.
Facebook, go fuck yourself.
If you need me, I’ll be over on G+. I know, I know. But at this point, Google isn’t the lesser of two evils. It’s the good guy. When Google is “the good guy,” you know it’s bad. You can add me to your G+ circles here.
ETA: If you feel like joining me in my leave-taking, instructions on how to do that are here: http://www.techlicious.com/how-to/how-to-delete-your-facebook-account-permanently/
