Topped off the day with a nice dinner with my buddy, Mike. 

Taking the rest of the night off to rest. Lots of work on the agenda for Monday though. #norestforthewicked :)

What A Day...

Today was good and busy, mostly family stuff as I took my dad to the doctor and then we ran some errands. Not a lot of writing-related work happened, though I did manage to sit down and do a re-write on that missing piece of the opening chapter of Hunter Houston: Horror Hunter book 2. I have to get up early tomorrow for a Doctor's appointment of my own. Sweet dreams.

You can hear the full episode HERE.

WE LOVE READER REVIEWS! SNOW STORM AUDIO GETS 5 STARS!

We Love Reader Reviews! A Really BIG Thank You to Steven Murphy for his kind words and 5 STAR Amazon review of the SNOW STORM audio book written by Bobby Nash and narrated by Stuart Gauffi. Published by BEN Books.

"Snow Storm is a good continuation of the Snow Series, surpassing Snow Falls in plot intrigue. It reads a bit like an episode of solid TV. It tells a complete story, makes you care about the characters, and builds to something bigger to be revealed in future books. The narration is also great and makes it easy to know who's talking by the tone of voice."

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Steven. I love writing these characters and Stuart is doing a terrific job on the audio. Snow Drive is coming to audio in April.

Learn more about SNOW STORM at AmazonAudible, and www.ben-books.com. Also available in paperback and ebook. Read it FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

#WriterProblems...

There's nothing like that feeling of remembering writing something only to see that it is not in your document. Where the hell did it go? This chapter just ends before the inciting incident happens. Darn it. Now, I have to write it again. #writerproblems

BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!

I'm back in the office after being away for six days (three at a convention and three working on a film set) and boy did things pile up while I was away. This is the downside to being a one man band. There's no one to pick up my slack. ha! I'm back in the office today, moving slow, but ready to work. I am tired, achy (lots of standing, walking, and running on set), and medicated as I picked up a sweet little sinus infection from being outside in Georgia's crappy high pollen for three days. Trying hard to nip it in the bud so I don't lose my voice as I have a writer's conference on Saturday and a podcast interview on Sunday.

I've been thinking a lot about my writing career of late, which is moving as though it is stuck in quicksand. I guess that means it's sink or swim time so I will be making some changes to how I do things going forward so I can make my business a success. The first casualty of this looks to be conventions. I have been operating at a loss for a couple of years now on conventions. Sales never equal money spent on hotel and travel so, for the foreseeable future, I won't be doing as many Comic Cons and pop culture cons as in the past. There are some that are exceptions to the rule. I will still be at DragonCon, which is the exception to almost every rule. It is its own unique animal. I'll continue to do literary events, smaller one day shows, and the like as the costs attached to them are minimal (I already have some posted on my website), but I have to cool it on the two and three three day shows for a while unless they want to cover my travel/hotel costs, which has happened in the past. It's a shame, as I love the cons, but from a business standpoint, this is what I have to do right now. Plus, this will give me more time at home to write.

Fear not, I am not going anywhere. I plan to keep on writing and putting out books that I hope you will all want to read (please, tell your friends too) and you can still get autographed books from me directly through www.bobbynash.com , www.ben-books.com , or by messaging me directly on social media. I am not hard to find.

Well, I've got six days of backlog to get caught up on so I will sign off for now and get to work.

Thanks for listening.

Bobby

Public Domain Part 3: Meet The Domino Lady!

Bobby

3 PICTURES...

This was a fun question I was asked on social media.

IN THREE PICTURES: What fictional characters did you spend the most time pretending to be as a kid? 

My childhood heroes.

My mom used to love to tell, well, anyone who would listen, how I used to run around the backyard pointing my hands at the sky going "THWIP! THWIP!" and pretending to be Spider-Man. I blame my love of comics, super-heroes, sci-fi, and all things geeky that I am enamored of on Spider-man. It was Spidey (we're buds so I can call him that) in cartoons that was my first introduction to the character. From there, I found comic books. My first comics were Amazing Spider-man issues 192, 193, and 194 that I convinced my mom to buy me in a 3 pack at Zayre's super store way back when.

Colonel Steve Austin was the man. The two coolest things you could be int he 70's was an astronaut or a guy with super powers. Steve Austin was both and he had the coolest sound effects to go with it. I wanted to be a Bionic Kid so bad... until I realized exactly what that entailed. I had fun pretending though. It also got me to run a lot, which meant exercise. I saw Lee Majors at Dragon Con once, but did not get to meet him. Bummer.

Captain James T. Kirk didn't have super powers, but he went to the coolest places and had kick butt adventures. It was a childhood dream to walk the halls of the USS Enterprise as a member of Starfleet. The closest I came was working on the Starship Farragut and Star Trek Continues fan films and visiting their sets. A dream come true. I saw William Shatner at Dragon Con once, but I did not get to meet him. Bummer.

I learned a lot from these characters, including values and morals.

These three characters, not surprisingly, are characters I would love to write officially one day.

Bobby
