SOMETIMES I GET ASKED STUFF... 6 FOR 6.


Another #SixForSix for the #WritingCommnunity

6 questions, tag six authors, have fun. I’m skipping the tagging others part, but I you want to participate, feel free to jump in and tag anyone you’d like. #writerlife #writer

1. Biggest lies you’ve ever heard regarding writing?

All published authors are wealthy. That’s a lie, a lie, a big, fat lie.

2. Published, or will publish 1st book on?

My first novel, EVIL WAYS was published in August of 2005.

3. On average, how many books to you read a year?

25 or 30, I guess. I’ve slowed down a bit as work has picked up. That doesn’t include reading my stuff for edits.

4. Farthest living fan?

Australia. That’s over 10,000 miles away. The farthest traveled book came from Yorkshire all the way to Atlanta, Georgia to get it signed.

5. Longest writing session you ever had?

I woke up one Saturday morning at 6 a.m. and started writing. When I stopped to take a break, it was night. I was really in the zone that day.

6. Some great advice you’ve gotten?

No one is going to love your book as much as you. Therefore, no one will promote the book better than you.

This program allows kids (12 and under) to get free sketches and/or autographs from participating artists and creators. The sketch books will be given out at the front entrance of Comic and Pop Artist Alley. Swing by the check-in table and ask one of our friendly volunteers for one and you’re on your way! Once in hand, kids can explore Artist Alley looking for tent cards located on artists' and creators' tables that match the logo on the front of their sketch books. When your child spots the logo, they are welcome to approach the artist or creator and ask them for a free quick sketch and/or autograph. We’re really excited about the program and hope your kids will be too. So, come on over to the AmericasMart (Building 2) and look for Comic and Pop Artist Alley on the 4th floor! We look forward to seeing you!

SNOW FLIES WITH THE RELEASE OF PAUL BISHOP PRESENTS… DISORDERLY
CONDUCT: ANOTHER TEN TALES OF MURDER AND MAYHEM!

Paul Bishop Presents…Disorderly Conduct: Another Ten Tales of Murder and Mayhem Disorderly conduct is the gateway drug to crime. It’s not far from here to yonder—disorderly to uncooperative to resisting, then on to physical assault, assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, to wanted dead or alive. Disorderly conduct is the rabbit hole of violence. It’s the writing on the wall and it’s the spark of ideas for crime writers everywhere.

In Disorderly Conduct, bestselling author and crime fiction maven Paul Bishop
has once again locked up the criminally minded among us—Not those who would actually do the crime (most of us couldn’t do the time), but brilliant purveyors of criminal visions. Enjoy these ten tales of murder and mayhem and may the words spur your own inner world of imagination.

Stories by Paul Bishop, O’Neil De Noux, Wayne D. Dundee, Brian Drake, Mike A. Baron, James Hopwood, Bill Craig, Bobby Nash, Jean Rabe, and Nicholas Cain.

The Next Phrase...

Every once in a while I will write a sentence or a phrase that actually catches me off guard because it sounds really good when I repeat it back. I'm not talking ego, more like astonishment when the words are better than my own vocabulary. It means I've struck the character's core and he or she is telling me their story.

That happened tonight and I love it.

THIS INSPIRES ME...


Shout out to Author Alex Kava. She offers books direct to readers. I ordered a copy of her latest, Desperate Creed at a couple of dollars below cover and free shipping. Look how it arrived. 

The Creed series follows Ryder Creed and his K9 search & rescue dogs usually teamed up with Kava's other series hero, FBI Agent Maggie O'Dell. Great reads. Highly recommended.

I have been watching Kava's store, among others, as I put my own bookstore together and I think she goes above and beyond. Not only is the novel signed and personalized, but there's a handwritten thank you card and a bookmark. The paw print wrapping paper on the book was an added bonus. She clearly puts effort into this and it pays off.

If you like a good thriller, check out Alex Kava at www.alexkava.com

BOBBY NASH / BEN BOOKS ON-LINE BOOKSTORE OPENS!


Like to read? Like to get autographed books directly from the author? If you answered yes, then I have some good news for you! The official on-line bookstore for Bobby Nash and BEN Books is now open at https://bobbynash.square.site

You can also access the store through www.bobbynash.com and www.ben-books.com 
Just look for the storefront logo.

To start, there are 17 items in the store. These will help me test the waters a bit to see what works and what needs a good tweak or two. Transactions are handled by Square and all major credit cards are accepted.

This is a test run, but if all goes well, I will upgrade and that adds more books and other payment options such as Paypal.

Fingers crossed.

FEEDBACK REQUESTED... BUYING BOOKS DIRECT FROM THE AUTHOR.

I'm working on a store where I can sell autographed books direct from me to readers through my websites www.bobbynash.com and www.ben-books.com.

I'm also planning another box set or two like this one HERE, which is still available, by the way.

Once all 6 Snow series 1 books are completed, I'm planning a Snow box set. I'm hoping to have that in time for Christmas. Gotta write faster.

In 2019, I will be collecting many of my short stories and novellas that have appeared in anthologies over the years. I may offer those as a bundle as well if the other bundles do well.

I'd love to hear from you. Would you be interested in buying books (paperback, hardcover, and ebook) directly from the author? Also, what type of book bundles interest you?

Your feedback will help.

NIGHTVEIL: CRISIS AT THE CROSSROADS OF INFINITY IS NOW AVAILABLE!



New Pulp publisher, Pro Se Productions has announced the release of my novel, Nightveil: Crisis at the Crossroads of Infinity. This is definitely a dream come true project for me. I have loved the character of Nightveil since I first read her adventures in ACComics back in the late 1980's in high school (yeah. I 'm old). I remember saying that I wanted to write this character one day. Well, it took a little over 30 years, but it finally happened and I'm thrilled.

Huge thanks to Tommy Hancock and Pro Se Productions for helping make this dream a reality. I’d also like to thank Bill Black and AC Comics for allowing me to play with their amazing characters in this novel. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Sad to hear of the passing of my friend, Blake Wilkie. I have been friends with Blake for going on 30 years. We laughed, we argued, we talked, and we created cool comic books together.

PATREON THESIS...

I had an interesting Skype call with a college student in Helsinki today. He's doing his thesis on Patreon, specifically in relation to using Patreon as part of my marketing as an author. I'm not sure how he found me (my promotional efforts must be working), but I was honored to be part of it. We had a rather fun and frank discussion about the site and how things work and how I use it, the pros and cons, etc. FYI, I said a lot of nice things about all of my patrons.

THE WRAP UP-- LEGION COMIC CON


Bobby's table
The first Legion Comic Con in Smyrna Georgia took place today and I was honored to be one of the guests/vendors at the event. Chris Hamer and his amazing team took great care of us and even fed us, which is the fastest way to an indie creator's heart. I thought the event went well. There was a steady flow of traffic through the American Legion where the event was held and I believe the last count I heard was 565 attendees, which is pretty darn good for a first time show. I met some new people and caught up with friends, had some terrific conversations, and hopefully picked up a few new readers. I hope this is the first of many Legion Comic Cons to come. This was a fun event. I would definitely do it again.
