08/10/2011 Website update completed! I now have a free stuff section where I'll offer up free stuff (typically stories but who knows what I may toss up there?). Also a newsletter signup has been added. This is for people who consider themselves a fan and would like to be notified when something exciting happens (a new book is out, free stuff is added / changed, or some other news event I deem significant occurs).

I also added links on my book pages to take you to Kindle in case you'd like to investigate and pick them up.
08/08/2011 Little things excite me. For example, I've got books out with multiple parties that are planning on reading and reviewing them. I'm in need of more reviews so this bodes well!

As for other things that excite me, well, that stays between my wife and I. ;)
08/03/2011 Another Ice Princess update. Not only have the reviews started to come in (good ones, too!), but the first draft of the cover art hit my inbox the other day. Looks mighty good too - a definite tie in to Wanted. Hoping for an August release date still!

03/25/2011 In an unrelated note - check out my blog for the ongoing articles I'm doing on physical fitness. It caters on weight lifting (powerlifting, at that), but in it I am touching on weights, cardio, nutrition, and even rest. I'll continue the theme in more details as I go along and also post an article on supplementation at some point. http://booksbyjason.wordpress.com.
03/19/2011 New book out! Sex Sells. Yes, I really wrote something called Sex Sells. Check it out here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/48242 to see if it's really as exciting as it sounds.

02/08/2011 Been a couple months without any news to post. Shame on me. I've got a few books in process of being reviewed and another I'm waiting on releasing for free, I just need to get some cover art together. Alas that I am no artist. Stay tuned for more updates or read my blog for the latest happenings!
12/24/2010 Adding a dynamic aspect for news updates. Prevents more timely code changes. And is a good thing. Also built up a basic Dark Earth page. Much more to do, but it's almost milk and cookie time so I've got to put the computer away.
