Now that it’s September, it’s time to look even further ahead than I have been lately (thanks to those of you who’ve inquired about editing. It’s nice to see I’ve developed quite a good reputation among you all!).

October will rock this year. October rock will rock so hard, we’re renaming the month Rocktober.

I am looking for folk to join me in celebrating rock and roll on your blogs. Feature a book, or an author. Give books away. Talk about music. I don’t know, and I don’t care. I just want you to rock the whole month long!

The full details are still evolving, but one thing I can promise you: if you post a review about any of my books (or short stories, stand-alones or anthologies) and drop me a line to the url, not only will I post it on the proper review page here on West of Mars, but I’ll also add you to a list of folk who’ll get advance readers copies when the next book is ready. The more reviews you post, the higher up on the list you’ll be. (and yes, you loyal folk are already on it. Or will be as soon as I make it, but I know you need to go up there. Have no fear. I’ll take care of you.)

Review copies will, of course, be e-books, probably a .pdf. Just so you know. File that for future reference.

And holler if you’d like to join Rocktober. I’ll be posting all the links as you guys report ’em, so get busy!
