Sky Treader is now on Barnes and Noble!

If you're a Nook reader, and like to get your books from Barnes & Noble, Sky Treader is now in their catalogue for pre-order.



And don't forget.  To celebrate the release of Sky Treader, I am giving away up to $75USD in free books on Tumblr.  See this post for more information.  Winners will be chosen at 12pm (PST) on 1 September, and notified immediately.

A Breath of Fiction, by Gregory M Fox

Available on Smashwords.
Price: Free!

A Breath of Fiction is a curious little anthology of 200 stories, each containing exactly 200 words.  With several themes running throughout, the stories themselves all stand alone.  About life and everything unexpected that happens in it, A Breath of Fiction is a pleasant little read, and perfect for keeping around for those odd few minutes each day when you have nothing else to do.  Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, some mood whiplash may occur.

That was a surprise

Look what I found in my email this morning!

I'm not sure how many other people received this in their list of Kindle books to check out, but I'm hoping it made it to more than just me.


In other news, Sky Treader is getting 5-star reviews on Amazon.  Honest reviews are awesome, and help promote my story.  If you purchase the story on Amazon, or later, when it becomes available from other retailers, please try to leave a rating and review.

Sky Treader now available on Amazon and iBooks!

Also, with an improved cover design (thanks, Flynn!)


Sky Treader has been made available on all devices capable of using Amazon or iBooks apps.

Click here for the iBooks page.

Click here for the Smashwords page.


Adding the book to your library on Smashwords will not take you to an order page until 1 September.  When it does, use the code VW69R to get the book for free! This code only works on Smashwords, and cannot be redeemed through any other retailer.

Pre-ordering through iBooks will add the book to your account, but you will not be charged until 1 September.

Schedules and Pre-Orders

I need to start setting myself a schedule that I follow daily, something which I'm very bad at.  I'll get involved in one thing, and then twelve hours later, it's all I've done all day.

I also need to get better at prioritising what I work on each day.  Maybe set aside a schedule for which projects get worked on which days.  Unless I get a particularly good idea for one of them.  Then I'll work on that one.  But I'm very bad at writing every day as it is.  That's what I need to work on the most.



Separate to this, I have some good news! Sky Treader is available for pre-order!

A young Thor seeks to make a riding partner in Loki, but Loki has his own plans for his day: sleep. Unwilling to accept Loki’s laziness, Thor drags him from bed and takes him to Vanaheim for drinking and revelry. When Loki does not agree with Thor’s idea of fun, he takes Thor on an adventure of his own, picking up horses, dwarfs, and gryphons as they trek across the realms.

You can pre-order the short story now through Smashwords for $2.99.  It will also shortly be available through other retailers, such as iBooks, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo for the same price.  When it becomes available through those channels, I’ll post an update.
But guess what!  There’s also a coupon you can use on Smashwords, good through 7 September.  When you place your order, use the code VW69R to receive the book for free.  Pre-ordering the book, even with the coupon, will help bump me up to the top sellers list when the book is officially released on 1 September. To pre-order the story, click on the Add to Library button.  It will ask you to create an account, so it knows whose library to add the story too.  Once the book becomes available on 1 September, you will be able to download it from your library.

Me-time was cut short by apartment hunting, and spending an hour and a half trying to drive ten miles.  May try to get a bit done in bed tonight, but unlikely.

It's been a hell of a few days

Early Wednesday morning, my brother's house burnt down.  Well, caught fire.  A small matter of semantics, but it amounts to the same thing.

Everyone was home when it happened, including their five-month-old daughter and our cousin, who lived with them.  Everyone is safe, including the dog.  Sadly, the same cannot be said for the neighbours.

Fiction is painful business

I'm sitting here, waiting for the laundry to finish so I can go upstairs, and just feeling amazingly bummed out.  While checking what should have been a tiny, innocuous detail that was going to be used in a throw-away line, I learned that one of my favourite magicians is dying.  That was not what I went online to find out.  I just wanted to check Johnathan's showtimes, and instead learned that he's in the process of getting his affairs in order while he skates by on borrowed time.

And now I'm just... blah.

This isn't even the first time with this story I went to go look up something tiny, and found instead something I didn't want to find.  A few weeks ago, I went to go look up when the Key Largo casino closed down, and instead found that someone had burnt it to the ground and killed the squatters who were living in there.

I need to just finish this story before it depresses me any further.

So anyway, I'm trying out this blogger thing.  I've no idea what I'll post on it.  Probably stupid things.  Maybe notes and stuff from my fiction, idk.

What do people put on their blogs?  I haven't done this in forever.

Hang on woah.  This isn't like Livejournal at all.  What the hell is this?
