So – New Year’s resolution – I’m writing updates daily.
What do I have to write about?
1) I’m moving to Spain! Kevan, Max and I will leave for Barcelona at the end of January.
Having lived in Mexico, Max already speaks Spanish
2) My new book, Gods & Monsters will be serialized in MetaStellar https://www.metastellar.com/author/ee-king/
this coming year. I will be narrating every section.
It takes place mostly in San Francisco in the 1980’s during the AIDs crisis.
Every world is a collection of lives. They may seem unrelated but when woven together by the Fates who run an occult bookshop in San Francisco, the pattern becomes clear.
The Fates are not alone. Many ancient Gods and Monsters have followed their believers from the edges of the world to an alternate Bay Area, a place where myth is more potent than history and love is stronger than death.
Ride down the river Styx, into a cool grey city where what’s at stake isn’t just your life, it’s your immortal soul.
3) GREAT TIP for writers in bad contracts. I was trapped in a horrible book contract by Dan Kalin or Feral Cat Publishing. In addition to breaching many of his contractual obligations, he was listing my book, Electric Detective as being co-authored by him and his Daughter Sarah Kalin.
BUT- many contracts have a clause that says, if after 30 days the publisher doesn’t remedy breaches the rights return to the author.
So, I began contacting the distributors, with proof of his non compliance and they removed it from circulation- and after many threats from Dan, I got my rights back.
Do try this at home, kids! At try it if you’re in a bad contract!
