What is BLUE WEEKEND?

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Blue Weekend means 30% off my book!

Hi fellow travelers,

I know just what you want to see in your inbox today: another Black Friday ad! Woohoo!

Well, unfortunately for you, this isn't exactly a Black Friday ad. Or a Cyber Monday one.

But it IS a chance to save some money on Christmas presents.

This is...BLUE WEEKEND!

It's not "blue" because we're sad but rather because my book has a lovely blue cover:

And it's "weekend" because I'm not confining it to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday (although all three apply). It lasts a whole FOUR DAYS, and we're not leaving out poor Sunday around here!

In other words: from now until midnight Central Time on Monday, December 1st,

You can buy my book for just $12 + shipping.

Usually, it's $17.

Thus, 30% off.

Even better, if you can pick up the book from me in person, you don't have to pay for shipping.

If you'd like to talk about possibilities for an in-person book handoff, reply to this email and let's figure something out!

When you order using this link, you'll only pay $12 total:

If the in-person option won't work for you, you can still get the special Blue Weekend price and I'll ship the book to you!

This is the perfect Christmas gift for:

  • That voracious reader who's always running out of books and loves to discover new favorite authors
  • That young creative who needs some encouragement that they can accomplish amazing things
  • That busy mom who used to love reading and doesn't have time for novels anymore--but she could squeeze in time for a short story!
  • That older relative who already has everything but who enjoys novelties and would love to know you're supporting young authors with your purchase
  • That Kansas City enthusiast who would be excited about a rising local author

Every copy comes SIGNED by the author! (Well, by me. I'm just one of the authors. And I haven't learned to replicate the other eight authors' signatures yet.)

Here are those buttons again!

Your purchase simultaneously helps you complete your Christmas shopping AND helps me raise money to attend a writer's conference next year, so thank you!

I hope your Thanksgiving was as glorious and restful as a feast in Mr. and Mrs. Beavers' House, or Rivendell, or Ban Rona, or Cloud Mountain, or Redwall, or Hogwarts, or wherever your favorite fictional feasting takes place.

Adventurously yours,

You might be about to see some STRANGE things from Jandalf... Hi fellow travelers, I just want you to be aware that some STRANGE sights might be popping up in your inbox pretty soon. Like, the "ushering you into an unknown world of stark white backgrounds and unfamiliar formatting" variety. The "I thought I knew the internet but this is a new realm for me" variety." Don't be alarmed. This is all part of Jandalf the Green's Master Plan. Well, now you're probably more alarmed. Anyway, in...

I sent my book to a professional editor! In this email: What the subject line is talking about Voices of the Future is neither too hot nor too cold, just right I lied The Quest awaits you! You asked, I answered with comments on a 200-year-old Russian classic Hi fellow travelers, This Friday, at about 7:30pm, I sat in Starbucks with my laptop open. I had come there to meet with three other writers. Together, we occupied the only four-seat table in the cafe, and we were pretty much alone with...

What makes a character interesting? Hi fellow travelers, What do you think when you hear the claim, "It's characters' flaws that make them interesting?" Maybe your mind jumps to characters who are supposed to be a "good example"--in other words, they're a mouthpiece for the author's own moralizing. No character development necessary, evidently. Or maybe your mind jumps to characters who are supposed to be exciting because they're the "bad boy" or the "bad girl," but they're really just...
