DARK TWISTY FICTION

It’s Easter Sunday and me and the wife spent much of the afternoon cleaning out the garage. With the beautiful weather, I really wanted to be out for a run, but that garage. Hoo boy. It was a mess. It never ceases to amaze me what can collect over a […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 18

March 27, 2016 in blog tagged kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

Week three = weak three. This has been, without a doubt, the week that would never end. In fact, it still hasn’t ended…because my Kindle Scout “week” actually ends on Wednesday. So I have a few more days ahead of me that will feel like I’m dragging myself, naked through […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 17

Have you ever heard of the Middle Child Syndrome? According to our good friend Wikipedia, it is: The feeling of exclusion by middle children (those with one younger and one older sibling). This effect occurs because the first child is more prone to receive privileges and responsibilities (by virtue of being […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 16

March 25, 2016 in blog tagged amazon / kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

That number 15. Multiply it by 2 and you have 30. 30 is the number of the day. Why? Because 30 is the number of days for a Kindle Scout campaign and I am officially on the backside of that number. So far, it’s been one hell of an experience. […]

Have you ever heard of the perpetual motion machine? It’s a device that is supposed to, once started, continue indefinitely. This kind of machine is actually impossible, because it would defy the first and second law of thermodynamics. Don’t worry, this isn’t a lesson in thermodynamics or kinetic energy. This is […]

Kindle Scout Update: Week 2

March 22, 2016 in blog tagged amazon / kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

Yesterday I was out for my daily run (when I do my best and deepest thinking) and my mind started grappling with the subject of genre. Specifically…romance. You see, I never thought I’d ever pen a romance. I’m a horror author, after all, and there is no room for love […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 12

March 21, 2016 in blog tagged kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

We artists are an odd lot. From every angle we seem to willingly go up against odds very much stacked against us. I’ve faced down that demon for three decades and those glowing eyes never dim, never blink. That’s only a fragment of the challenge that makes the victory all […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 11

March 20, 2016 in News tagged amazon / kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

It happened again yesterday. The dreaded “drop off”. Suicide Station had a brief tumble off the Hot & Trending list. I remember the first day this happened…it sent me into a plié of panic. The rate the campaign was going, I assumed I could cruise to the end with a perfect […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 10

March 19, 2016 in blog tagged kindle scout / love / romance / suicide station / Tonight Alive by jlwallen

And so I sit here listening to Arm Cast Podcast, in which I was brought on as a guest to speak about my Kindle Scout campaign. The episode was recorded on day two of the campaign and hearing what I had to say then is quite interesting to hear. I was […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 9

March 18, 2016 in blog tagged #kindlescout / amazon / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

And thus begins week, the second. I had an interesting moment today–one that was both cause for celebration and concern (I like to live dangerously). It happened when I was looking for images to use to create some Suicide Station promo goodies. I hopped onto my bestie, Google, and first […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 8

The world of authors is simultaneously growing ever-larger and ever-smaller. Wait, how is that possible? Doesn’t that break some law of physics somewhere? Wouldn’t that make Stephen Hawkings punch an innocent passerby? Let me explain. It should go without saying that Amazon has been a boon to writers. With the […]

Jack Verse: Kindle Scout Week 1 Wrap Up

March 15, 2016 in blog tagged kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

And on the fifth day, he did rest. Whatever. There is no rest for the wicked…or the Kindle Scout campaign. Remember a few posts ago, I offered up the playlist and mentioned how Anneke Van Giersbergen had served as an inspiration for the roll of Candy? Take a gander at that […]

Kindle Scout Update: Day 5

March 14, 2016 in blog / News tagged kindle scout / romance / suicide station by jlwallen

I am officially 1/6th of the way through the Suicide Station Kindle Scout campaign. I woke up this morning, only to find that someone had stolen an hour from my life. After the haze of sleep wore off, I remembered it was that dastardly daylight savings time. So instead of […]
