Posted on by blablablaandgabbler

[This] urban fantasy revolves around a fast and furious updating of Greek myth. In the distant past, the god Vulcan created a handful of Automatons–metallic but malleable beings capable of soul-sharing with a human being–to serve as protectors of humanity. Now the Automatons are distributed among an eclectic and decidedly eccentric bunch known as the Masters, some of whom are actively plotting against the others…” – Publishers Weekly 

…[Like] any good epic tale, it might touch a nerve or two, which I do consider a good thing.” – David Lee Summers, Tales of the Talisman 

If Tumblr and Epic Poetry had a novel-baby, it might turn out something like THE AUTOMATION.” – [The Author]

Read it for freeeee:

Why is it that celebrating the first novel always reminds you about how you should be working on the second?

Irony in the Irony

Adrian Jones Pearson?

‘To begin with, Pearson admitted to using a pseudonym, and his rationale—explained in an “interview” published by Cow Eye Press—echoed Pynchon’s stance on literary fame and public figuredom. “I’ve always had a severe distaste for all the mindless biographical drivel that serves to prop up this or that writer,” said Pearson. “So much effort goes into credentialing the creator that we lose sight of the creation itself, with the consequence being that we tend to read authors instead of their works. In fact, we’d probably prefer to read a crap book by a well-known writer than a great book by a writer who may happen to be obscure.”’

Read the rest.

[The ironic thing is, if he didn’t want his True Author Name to distract from the creation, his Fake Author Name is distracting from it. But perhaps that is the point, as I haven’t read the novel yet (the mystery being potentially so much more entertaining than any fiction right now). -The Author]

#TBT Tunes – Sweater Songs

Posted on by blablablaandgabbler

Time to start updating your closet for the changing season. #Fall #PumpkinSpice #Scarves

These songs are comforting and cozy and remind you of your youth. Just like that disgusting sweater you’ve had since high school. The one that you only wear at home. You know the one.

Of course this.

Of COURSE this.

OF COURSE THIS.
