It seems that in my dazed and confused state this week (working 14 hour days and getting a slight cold) I entered a competition and won! Now, I've never won anything in my life, so you can imagine my surprise.
What did I win?
I won a cover promotion for one of my books for one month at either The Romance Studio, Romance Junkies or Millennium Promotions (eXtasy's promotional arm) So which one do I choose? I need to get my name out, no doubt, especially as I am a new force in GLBT speculative fiction (gee, did you like that wording LOL) But I don't want to put a cover up in a place that attracts readers that aren't interested in exciting sci-fi or fantasy stories with lots of loving thrown in for good measure.
Anyway...thoughts welcome as I have to make a decision soon!
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
