Here we see the cover of the Blackstone Audio version of Wolfbreed coming out March 20th. Much coolness, and it’s interesting seeing a cover that’s clearly influenced by Spectra’s cover, yet different. I can’t wait to get this on my iPod.

Zoe doesn’t seem too impressed, but it may be because she can’t read.
If you want to buy it on-line, but you’re pissed at Amazon’s antics of late, you can buy it here. Or here.

It is not all smileys and lolcats out there, and forewarned is forearmed. Anyway, most rules boil down to (to paraphrase John Scalzi) don’t be [...]

But an asshat named Robert Stanek seems to think otherwise. This gentleman appears to think that anyone’s success comes at the expense of his own career. I’ve heard of misguided authors trying to game Amazon to pump up their own work, but this has got to be the most vindictive wrinkle I’ve yet heard about. [...]

There exists a certain type of incredibly sleazy male, the kind who has paleolithic attitudes about women that would embarrass the guy filming the Girls-Gone-Wild videos, but who at some point in his education, discovered that he got a complete pass on his repulsive personal antics as long as he professed a feminist political agenda.
