Mindstorm

A fearsome & fantastic journey to the heart of the Savage Id.

Name:
Location: Invisible City, North Dakota, United States

Read my book, The Mind-Warp Era. It'll tell you about the real Lead--& his alter-ego, the true Rootboy covered with slime (the Savage Id). Partly a poignant memoir, partly a cosmicomic book, it relays the Id's adventures thru dark dimensions of funereal dread, with Timothy Leary as co-pilot. (The rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.)

bummed out

Well, I just got onto sfwa.org, the homepage of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, & looked up iUniverse in their section about POD. Turns out the average iUniverse title only sells 150 copies; mine at 6 doesn't even come close. The main problem is, I'm a good writer, but I just can't handle the business end of things, & though I try to be a science fiction writer, most of my stuff is of more interest to lit-crit types than it is to editors who run magazines featuring demons & wizards on the covers. So Heidi Hollis talked them up to me at MisCon 3 years ago; she's the author of a popular book on UFOs. It worked for her because there are always people who read UFO books; books by & about insane science fiction authors go unread because, beyond NAMI, there's no market for them. So I've been feeling down since then; guess I should've checked out the SFWA page in the first place. My wife, mighty insect-slayer she, is watching her Battlestar Galactica DVD as I type this; I got bored & decided to amuse myself by typing something on the computer. If there's anyone out there reading this, buy my book (yeah, right!) & remember--all my highs are invisible.
