Sketches, Shopping, Shared Nightmares, and Schlock
I finished the last of the internationally-bound sketch editions early Sunday morning, and then took Sunday off. Today Sandra and Keliana will be shipping all the international packages, which means that unless there are postal issues in the destination nation, they'll be arriving in time to be Christmas gifts.
Meanwhile, our store is still open, and there's plenty of time for the delivery of gifts to folks in the United States. Pins, coins, and patches make great stocking stuffers, and for folks with office walls that need decoration, the 2015 Schlock Mercenary Monthly Calendar is kind of perfect. We still have the Munition Canister slipcases that hold the first five and the second six books for folks who own books, and want a handsome way to keep them upright without book-ends. (Note: the slipcases sell fast, and we can't stock huge numbers of them because they take up a lot of space in our warehouse.)
If you're considering taking the plunge for the first time, going all-in, as it were, we have an eleven-book bundle!
Since it's not unlikely that you'll be doing some shopping elsewhere for gifts this week (and by "elsewhere" I mean "Amazon"), you might consider starting your trip with this link. A portion of the proceeds from your purchase will help pay the bills here at Chez Tayler. It's a small thing, but it adds up quickly on our end, and has gone a long way toward paying the bills in January and Februrary in past years.
Oh, hey! If you're out at Amazon anyway, check out the SHARED NIGHTMARES anthology! It's just $2.99, and features really bad dreams from a Hugo nominee, a couple of Campbell nominees, a Prometheus winner, and a New York Times best-seller. It's also available here on Smashwords.
Me? I'll be spending Cyber Monday scripting comics and sketching in books. It may be Schlock, but it still doesn't draw itself.
