  Terminator and the Problem of Fate

  Posted on May 29, 2011 by vjchambers in blogging.

  Aaron and I have been having a Terminator movie marathon, starting last night. We’ve watched all four Terminator movies back to back. I’m a fan of the first movie, mostly because its understated love story gets my heart pumping. Something about a guy and a girl on the run and having sex in a hotel [...]

  Polymoral characters

  Posted on May 11, 2011 by vjchambers in between the heaves of storm, blogging, jason and azazel.

  So I just finished reading Jenny Pox by J. L. Bryan. (Quick aside here. I think it may be one of the best indie books I’ve ever read. You should pick it up. $2.99. Here.) Anyway, it got me thinking about polymoral characters. What do I mean by that? Well, I stole that word from [...]

  I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m a mercenary. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make money at writing since I was about twenty-two. (Coincidentally, this was about when I was graduating from college and realizing I had to support myself and that working for someone else really sucked, in my opinion.) [...]

  Review: Lure, by Stephanie Jenkins

  Posted on May 7, 2011 by vjchambers in blogging, reviews.

  I found a new awesome indie YA book series. (I think it’s a series. If it ended there, I’m pissed!) Lure is a nice twist on a the same old tired supernatural romance story. This time, there are sirens (yay!) and the girl gets to be supernatural instead of the boy. Very cool, in my [...]

  April–Whoa…

  Posted on May 2, 2011 by vjchambers in between the heaves of storm, blogging.

  So, April was really an awesome month for ebook sales for me. I sold 273 copies of books on Amazon. 131 of those were Breathless, which is hopping on and off the Top 100 list for Horror>Occult (even though I don’t really think the book is horror.) And May is shaping up to be even [...]
