With "Stuck in the Middle with You" going live on March 6th, I'm offering the first story in Marty's misadventures "I Fought the Claw, and the Claw Won" for free on Amazon, beginning today and ending March 5th. Go grab yourself a copy today and spread the word.
"Stuck in the Middle with You" my latest Red Vixen Adventures story and a direct sequel to "I Fought the Claw, and the Claw Won" is now available for pre-order through Amazon.
Got Shout Factory's Complete Max Headroom collection for Christmas, and I rewatched the first episode last night.
To put this show in perspective, the original 1985 pilot "Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes into the Future" was a Blade Runner-esque tv movie intended as Max's origin story, to explain why the Max Headroom music video show (remember those?) had a bizarre "computer generated presenter" (actually Matt Frewer in a latex prothesis on a CSO background).
From that came the Max Headroom series, which produced 14 episodes (only 12 of which aired in the original run) that ran on ABC in 1987. The first episode "Blipvert" was a remake of the original TV movie, again featuring Matt Frewer as intrepid reporter Edison Carter, Amanda Pays as Theora Jones his Controller (ie: Voice With An Internet Connection), and later episodes bringing back veteran character actor W. Morgan Sheppard as the over the hill punk Blank Reg.
So this show appears on a major TV network, in the middle of Ronald Reagan's 2nd term as president, satirizing network television in general and the rise of "Infotainment" and reality TV in particular, not to mention all those lovely corporations enjoying the fruits of Trickle Down economics.
And GOD it was weird. It was a cyberpunk black comedy that sounds like something only Netflix would greenlight. The fact that it appeared for even just a season on something like ABC was amazing.
Our story starts with Edison hosting his show "Edison Carter Live and Direct", carrying his own camera as he infiltrates an apartment building where Metrocops are investigating the violent death of man. Before Carter can interview the man's wife, she's sedated by the cops, and the someone at Network 23 orders the story pulled even as Edison is reporting it. Edison's current Controller, Gorman, kills Edison's feed, and Edison barely escapes with his life when the Metrocops realize he's no longer transmitting and start beating him.
Understandably pissed, Edison demands a new controller from Murray, the show's producer (a pre-Arrested Development Jeffrey Tambor). Murray finds him Theora, but warns him off pursuing the investigation, noting the order to spike Edison's story came from "Very high up."
Meanwhile, we discover the "Very High Up" is Network 23's current CEO Ned Grossberg, who is chairing a board meeting about the disastrous rollout of Blipverts, which caused the apartment dweller's death. Invented by Bryce Lunch, Network 23's resident kid genius, Blipverts stuff 30 seconds of advertising in just 3 seconds. With the unfortunate side effect of occasionally making particularly slothful viewers spontaneously explode, due to a build up of unused electrical nerve impulses in their body.
Board member Ben Ceviot thinks the blipverts should be pulled immediately, but that would cause a serious rift with 23's major advertising client the Zik Zak corporation. Another board member is dismissive of Ben's concerns, noting "The only people affected would be the poor, the sick, and the unemployed. I mean, who really cares?"
(subtle, this show is not)
Edison, ignoring Murray's advice, gets a lead when Theora infiltrates the security feeds inside Network 23's building, catching a conversation between Ceviot and Grossberg that guides him to Bryce's lab in the building's secret Floor 13. Edison gets into Bryce's lab and find the videotape (!) of the incident that was recorded by the camera in the apartment's TV (because of course it would have one). After seeing the victim literally expand like a balloon and then explode (really pushing the boundaries of 80's broadcast TV) Edison is discovered by Bryce's lab security and has to run for it. After being chased all the way down to parking garage he steals a motorbike and tries to escape, only to crash. The last thing he sees is a vehicle barrier printed with the warning "MAX HEADROOM 2 METERS", just before he smashes right into it.
COMMERCIAL BREAK. TBC
2020 Publishing Roundup
Jan. 1st, 2021 04:19 amOkay, so 2020, aside from being a plague infested trash fire, was reasonably good for me writing wise. While my sales and overall profit took a significant dip compared to 2019, I had a couple more anthology publications, some free advertising courtesy of the Voice of Dog Podcast, and I finally published my long gestating Red Vixen prequel novel The Visitors.
Subtracting expenses, I made an overall profit of 222.11, which is a 1/3 drop from 2019's $333.15.
Notably, the only thing I self-published this year was The Visitors, which comprised approximately 30% of my total sales and 40% of my profit. As always it's a situation of "publish or perish" with my whatever my New Thing is being my biggest seller. Though that does prove I have a small but loyal fanbase that does look forward to my stuff. Notably my second biggest seller was The Complete Red Vixen Adventures which made about 20% of my overall profit, despite being several years old. It doesn't hurt that CRVA is also my thickest, and therefore most expensive, book. Also while The Rise of the Ring's sales dropped a lot, it still was in third place overall. Perhaps the most surprising drop was the two Prisoners books, which only sold two copies, despite being a significant part of my sales last year.
All told I sold 105 ebooks in 2020, compared to 155 last year, 2 paperbacks instead of 11 last year, 11,485 KENP pages read compared to 14,071, and 3 audiobooks compared to 8 in 2019. So much reduced, though I'm unsure if it's because of reader disinterest, or because of the general economic downturn due to COVID-19 reducing my readership's spending money.
Things accomplished:
1. "With One Hand Tied Behind His Back" published in Fanged Fiction's erotic anthology Give Yourself a Hand.
2. "Gently Kept" published in Thurston Howl Publication's Howloween erotic horror anthology.
3. Self-published The Visitors.
4. "At Prayer" and "To Catch the Lightning Part One" and "Part Two" read by Khaki on his Voice of Dog podcast.
5. Submitted "A Leopard Can't Change His Spots," a sequel to "Silence and Sword," for John Robey's The Reclamation Project: Year Two anthology.
5. Submitted "Snug and Tight" to Armoured Fox Press' Mamano Menagerie anthology.
Things in the Works:
1. Still working on "Marty 2: The Search for Pants" (working title!), my sequel to the RVA side story "I Fought the Claw, and the Claw Won." After sitting moribund for a while, I finally seem to have gained some momentum on this project, and I'm hoping to finish it and send it out to beta readers before the end of January.
2. Began work on an untitled Big Eyes, Small Mouth RPG supplement, to be published under their Open Gaming License. I intend this to be a mashup of the Red Vixen Adventures and For Your Safety universes, letting the Groupmind be the setting's big mystery, while the PC's fight space pirates, unscrupulous Kinis businessmammals, and help romantically tangled foxen.
This is going to be a big project, and I'm likely going to be running a small Kickstarter campaign once the manuscript is finished to pay for the illustrations, and so I can hire a proper copy editor and someone who knows typesetting better than I do to make sure it meets Dyskami Press's standards.
3. Untitled story for Thurston Howl's Furmiliar Spaces anthology. I'm signed up to provide a story for the "Beach" setting, though everything is still in the early planning stages.
4. At the encouragement of Thurston Howl, I submitted The Visitors and The Complete Red Vixen Adventures to The Furry Book Review for, er, a review. Hopefully they'll have something nice to say about them both.
Disappointments:
1. My Patreon. I lost several high value patrons, and I honestly can't blame them for ditching me, given I struggled to provide content for them. I'm still getting a few bucks a month, so I'm trying to keep it going, but it's never going to be a significant source of income.
2. Armoured Fox Press still hasn't completed editing on their Swordmasters anthology, where "To Catch the Lightning" awaits its formal debut. Given, well, 2020, I'll have to give Tarl some slack on this.
3. Also thanks to Covid, my hopes of having Tarl buy more of my paperbacks, especially The Visitors, to sell at AFP's table at the Fur, Eh? convention were dashed. Maybe I'll have better luck in 2021.
4. Reviews, or lack thereof. While The Furry Book Review has some kind words to say about the stories I had published in several anthologies, I've only gotten two reviews this year of my self-published works on Amazon. In particular I've received no reviews of The Visitors despite it being my best seller this year.
In Summary:
Overall, not my best year in terms of sales, but I've continued to publish on my own and have stories bought and published for anthologies. We'll see if I can improve things in 2021.
My latest Red Vixen universe novella The Visitors is now available for pre-order in Kindle format at Amazon, for the low price of $4.99!
Note: Paperback PoD edition will be available as soon as I deal with some formatting issues.

Sales Report for 2019
Jan. 2nd, 2020 03:34 amI had a really good year, and I'm not exactly sure why.
To put things in perspective, I made $333.15 this year on overall sales. But I can't even claim that it's because I had a really good publishing year. I didn't publish anything new in 2019, except in anthologies with other authors.
I can't claim it's been my social media presence either. I tweet occasionally, but I don't have many followers. I'd like to think it was from Armoured Fox Press' featuring my paperbacks at Fur, Eh except that was held in mid-June and my biggest month for sales was in April (34 units) and May (26 units), though there was another bump in August (21 units). It wasn't any glowing reviews either. I had a grand total of two, one of which while nice, also wasn't terribly articulate. If my success was from word of mouth, I don't know whose mouth has been doing the talking.
Overall my best seller was Rise of the Ring at 29 units total. That I can at least make a guess at its popularity, given it's got a glowing blurb on the front cover courtesy of Ryk Spoor. In terms of profitability, my most successful book was The Complete Red Vixen Adventures, which is my most expensive ebook and paperback. After that was Rise of the Ring, Prisoners of War, and Prisoner of Midnight.The latter two are both pR0n (hey, sex sells #captainobvious) and also available in paperback, though oddly PoM didn't sell any paperback copies through Amazon (more on that later) even though it had great physical sales last year. Honorable mention goes to Captive of the Red Vixen, which actually sold twice as many audiobooks (8) as ebooks (4), though sales of the various sequels was anemic. My best guess is people who enjoyed Captive decided to go for the best deal possible and read all the followups in the CRVA.
Aside from sales, I also did my best to spread my wings by submitting stories to various furry anthologies published by Armoured Fox Press and Furplanet. There I had a lot of success. Out of four tries I got three hits, two of which were published this December and the other (plus one I'd sold in 2017) should be coming out in 2020. The big one is probably Silence and Sword for John Robey's Reclamation Project Year One anthology, which was published by Furplanet, one of the biggest of the Furry genre of publishers.
Also, as I mentioned earlier I had paperback books purchased by Tarl Hoch's Armoured Fox Press imprint for sale at the Fur, Eh convention in Edmonton, Canada. This was an experiment for us both. I'd never sold my books to a dealer before, and Tarl didn't know how well my books would do. In terms of profit I think it was a wash for both of us overall. The cost for me to print the books and ship to Canada meant I lost about $80. Meanwhile Tarl unloaded most of the two Prisoners books, but only had a few sales for the CRVA. Overall I'm not surprised by the latter. It's a thick book, and expensive enough not to be a quick impulse purchase. So I guess we'll both have to live and learn (and stick to the cheaper novellas).
In the pipeline for 2020: I'm on the home stretch with my long gestating First Contact novella "The Visitors", which I hope to publish in the first quarter this year, editing gods and Neziha's art schedule willing. After that it'll be time to work on my other First Contact novel set in my Groupmind 'verse, which has been stalled for some time. I'm also going to continue to submit to anthologies as the opportunity arises.
So, some good sales and some experimentation led to a pretty solid year for me sales wise, even though I didn't publish anything directly. We'll have to see what 2020 will bring.
Whoo hoo! Voice (Tarl Hoch) gives a shoutout to me and my books at the beginning of the latest "Fangs and Fonts" podcast!

Okay, fixing the link to Rise of the Ring, and also including a print short story collection that I have an entry in.
Rise of the Ring is now available for $3.99 through Amazon! Read the story Baen published author Ryk Spoor called "The most unique, heartwarming conquest of humanity I've ever read."
A beautiful prison is still a prison.
Fifteen hundred years ago Mankind fell to the Groupmind, an artificial intelligence determined to save its creators from an environmental disaster of their own making. Now Earth has been evacuated, and humanity finds itself awakening on the Ring, a massive space station circling their true home. A generation is being born that only remembers living on Earth as distant history, as their parents struggle to adapt to a life on a world where every whim is catered to, and every need provided for, except freedom.
Purrfect Tails is also available exclusively in paper back through Amazon for $11.95, published by Armoured Fox Press, and featuring nine unique Neko themed erotic short stories, including my original story "Cat Toy", available nowhere else.
Pets or People? A Neko's pleasure is a primal thing. A dangerous appetite that, once awakened, can barely be contained. Be they a catboy doing corporate work, or a catgirl confessing her innermost feelings, nekos have a level of energy that burns as much as it warms. Purrfect Tails contains nine sensual stories involving these frisky felines to keep you purring all night long.
(Hey, it's smut, but it's smut I got paid for...)

Sales Report for 2017
Jan. 3rd, 2018 04:50 pm Okay, below is a summary of my sales on Amazon for 2017. Observations from the data in no particular order below:
Sales
1) Despite my worries about a lack of book specific cover art, The Complete Red Vixen Adventures sold well, comprising a little under half my total royalties for the year, with royalties from the ebook and print on demand editions working out about equally, despite the PoD edition being four times as expensive.
2) Surprisingly Captive of the Red Vixen, despite being several years old at this point, was my top seller. My only conclusion is that those drawn to my Furry writings start the series there, and if it doesn’t grab them they stop, since from there the novellas becoming increasingly intertwined.
3) In comparison, sales of the final ebook in the series, The Red Vixen at Sea, were somewhat mediocre. Not horrible, but not what I was hoping for either. I still want to get decent cover art for it and see if that gives it a boost.
4) The Fall of Man sold relatively well for something not associated with the Red Vixen Adventures. I suspect readers who liked the original For Your Safety short story got it for a little extra bite.
5) Sales of my fantasy works, including Demon Eyes, The Dragon’s Companion, and Unexpected Diversions were either miniscule or non-existent. I guess I’ve got a better rep as a Furry Sci-Fi author than a fantasy author.
Things to Do For 2018:
1) Cover Art: I still want to get something for CRVA and RVaS. Ideally I also want to get interior illustrations for a Deluxe Edition of CRVA. With the Patreon doing well so far, that might actually happen.
2) Self-Publish More: “Publish or Perish” doesn’t just apply academia. The best way for me to boost my overall sales is produce More Stuff. Though the RVA series is done, I’ve got two more long form stories I definitely want to tell, a sequel to Prisoners of War and non-erotic book with the same main character that’s going to be a homage to Alan Dean Foster’s classic first contact novel Nor Crystal Tears. I also want to see if I can publish more short works. Novellas are my forte, but they frankly take too long to produce. My best bet might be some self-contained For Your Safety shorts set in the Ring period, which I can hopefully put together as another collection to complement The Fall of Man.
3) Pro-Publish More: Thanks to the encouragement and support of Tarl Hoch at Armoured Fox Press, I’ve got one short story up for publication, one more under consideration for another of his anthologies, and another submitted to another small press publisher. If I can get them all out there for readers to see, I’ll want to continue the trend and produce more works where at least the burden of self-promotion is out of my hands.
4) Support my Patreon: Thanks one particularly generous donor, I’ll be getting about $60 a month of Patreon support for 2018. If that doesn’t sound like much, it’s still going to total more than three times what I made from my book sales for all of last year. I owe my supporters a minimum amount of content for their generosity, and hopefully that pressure will make me produce more both for my Patrons and general readers.
In Conclusion: This wasn’t my best sales year, but far from my worst either. If I can produce more work, I hope I can significantly boost sales instead of just puttering along.

Shant quit my day job.
Jun. 8th, 2017 09:04 amAmazon KDP (finally) updated their data reports to include historic data, allowing me to see my total royalty profits over time.
Since I've started e-publishing there in September of 2011, I've made US$1952.70 in royalties, averaging $325.45 per year.
So, not "Quit my job" great, but not completely insignificant either. Not bad for a guy who's specialty is Furry themed light romances
