Anyone want a copy of “Ersatz,” available soon? mm contemporary romance

So, this little thing I’ve been working on, “Ersatz,” will be available soon for $0.99 purchase. It’s a short piece, though it’s wormed its way into my black little heart.

I’m looking to give away 10 free epub copies, so if anyone’s interested, just leave a comment and I’ll email you back.

ERSATZ
by Sol Crafter

“So, what’s it like being in an ersatz homosexual relationship?”
“What?” His head whipped around so he could stare at Julie in surprise.

Cast of characters (just the mains, baby):
John–our MC. Comes across to others as the strong silent type, but since we’re following this story with him, we get more of a view of the inner workings of his mind.
Charlie–can be somewhat goofy, he’s a good guy and John’s happy to call him his best friend and roommate.
Neidelmeyer–the friend that’s always willing to mooch off the people around him.
Julie–the rather intrusive girlfriend of one of their friends.

One innocent question, and the lives of two friends are completely changed forever.

It’s 3 in the morning. Why am I still awake? #editing

I told myself I wasn’t going to sleep until I finished editing. I’ve probably done about 100 pages, which is pretty good, and I’ve only got like 30 pages left. Still, every time I turn around I keep getting distracted by things on the internet ^_^

I even took some time out to search the Web to see if anyone has written any fanfic about my stuff. I am very sad to say that there is NONE 🙁

When is someone out there going to write some fanfic about my stuff? I know it should be something I wouldn’t want to have happen, but honestly, it would make me totally happy. Ugh, the horrors of being completely clingy and emotionally stunted.

~Come on, write some fanfic!

BTW, as I mentioned before, I signed up for the BlogHop, which will start on the 17th. What does that mean? Well, I have to put up a BlogHop entry, and if people comment, I’m giving out 3 free ebooks to 3 readers, and 1 print copy of “Heroes & Villains.”

I’m not quite sure how I’m sending the paperback out, since this is my first time doing this, but I might just drop ship it or something. Still, there will be one lucky ducky out there. And it could be YOU! Sorry people outside the US, I think you’re pretty much stuck with ebooks, though it’s readers’ choice so you could actually pick something that’s not even out yet if you wanted (like “Allies & Enemies” perhaps? Though there’s a wait until doneness.)

Echo TPB

Wow, “Echo” has been a really big hit. I am honestly surprised.

It is set to be included in “The Brownstone Diaries,” which will also contain “Bastian,” “Topping,” and the tentatively titled “Ai-Go” which will be released probably around mid-2012. Each story will be released separately as ebooks, since they are all novella length, then they’ll be printed together. I just didn’t think it would be worth it to have them all be their own separate TPB considering the cost of production for a paper book.

Still, Echo has done so well that I have made it into a TPB (only 80 pages!) and it is available for $5.99, which really isn’t so bad. I just thought that more readers should have an opportunity to check it out, and it’s perfect for me to include in giveaways and such.

I couldn’t list it on Amazon without raising the price, but you can find it at its own page here==> ECHO
