More and more authors are coming to realize that if they want to reach the biggest audience possible, they have to consider adding the internet/web to their strategy. As the prelim listing for the Nebula awards makes it's rounds I see several author that aren't afraid to wade in early. Take for example Catherine Asaro. I was just reading in SFScope's blog that she has release her novella The Spacetime Pool on her Facebook page. It is well worth searching it out. My only complaint is that the story was released first in chapters as kind of a "here it is, if you like it, buy it" idea. Nothing wrong with that....the problem is that the rest of the story has been released in the same manner....and in slightly different places on her page. I know....its a BS complaint, however if I am a voting member for Nebula or Hugo awards, I just would reather sit back and read the offering in one go and not have to search for parts. But that is me.
Oh and if anyone finds it listed differently let me know and I will updat asap.

I initially tried to upload the full story at Facebook. But it was too long, so Facebook wasn't happy with me. That's why I ended up doing it in chapters. It took a while to get the chapters up because I was searching for ways to illustrate them. It was a lot of fun doing it, though. :-)
I'm going to post chapters soon from Diamond Star, my next book. Because of the way the notes on Facebook work, those will probably be in reverse order, too. But I should be able to add some pictures to those.
We will soon have songs and a video up from the CD, Diamond Star. It's an original music CD that the rock band Point Valid cut to go with my book. Diamond Star is about a rock star in the future, and the CD is a soundtrack for the book, using the lyrics I wrote and music from the talented guys in Point valid.
I've been posting updates about the project at my website:
