The (Likely) Cone of Silence

I’m working normal human hours at the convention over the next couple of days and then flying back to the United States the day after that, so updates here will be sparse, if present at all. If you can’t survive without me over the next few days I’m likely to be on Twitter a bit, especially if the convention floor has Internet.

So: See you (probably) Tuesday!

  1. Of course that could mean that any updates you do make during normal human hours appear in real time for those of us down this part of the world. Rather than getting them all at once the next morning over a bowl of cereal.

    P.S. feel free to pop down to NZ sometime, we even have Coke Zero here

  2. I didn’t know if this would interest you, however it may be important. There is a site on the internet called http://www.ebooks-tree.com that has just scraped a popular fanfiction site for content so that they can make profit off ebooks through ad marketing. The whole debacle is outlined on http://besinaao3.tumblr.com/post/116281407120/theyre-at-it-again

    I was curious so I searched for a couple well known authors, because if they are doing this to fanfiction writers, they might be doing it to published authors too. So anyway, when I searched your name many of your books came up as available to download. The catch is that you need an account and to get an account, the site wants credit card information.

    If you or your publisher authorized them to have your work posted for their benefit, then disregard this message. But if you aren’t profiting, you should be aware of what they are doing with your work.
