The Gorelets Omnibus for Kindle and More on Amazon.com

You can now get the Gorelets Omnibus as an e-book for the Kindle along with all the other editions, from amazon.com. I think this is very cool, because gorelets -- which, a decade ago, were originally a series of poems that were written for PDAs, the first handheld e-readers -- are now available in ebook format for your cell phone (if you have the Kindle app). This feels like coming full circle. Just so you're aware: the Kindle edition is an electronic adaptation of the paperback edition. Remember that the Hardcover is substantially expanded, with bonus poetry galore and it…

A note of thanks to all who pre-ordered my next book — and a glimpse at the jacket…

Just a quick note of thanks to all who pre-ordered The Gorelets Omnibus directly from the publisher. Soon you'll have a smooth clean first-on-the-block book in your hands along with a collectible all-original poem on fancy paper for your kindness.  Oh, and lots of embarrassingly outrageous exclamations in public when you're not otherwise dry heaving.  Enjoy! I think this weekend was the deadline to pre-order, but so long as those buttons on their website allow you to preorder, you still might qualify for the free extra during the grace period if you're quick.  If you didn't preorder, don't be shy: …

Holiday Round-Up

  Happy Holidays! I've been extremely busy on many fronts, personal and professional -- and now that I'm on a brief holiday break, I'm catching up with obligations and promises.  I plan to get the next issue of The Goreletter out soon, but for now I thought I'd give everyone a quick round-up of what's happening in Arnzenland lately: Big news:  The Gorelets Omnibus is scheduled for a January 2012 release!  If you preorder a copy directly from Raw Dog Screaming Press (publisher of my other books, 100 Jolts & Play Dead), you'll get a free collector's item!

The Cowbird Diary: http://cowbird.com/author/mike-arnzen/

I was kindly invited to keep a personal diary on the impressive new website, cowbird.com and despite my heavy workload I decided to give it a whirl.  The whole cowbird website might pull you in -- there are some amazing things happening there, with tons of authentic storytelling, lots of great photos and some humbling reports from the trenches of everyday life.  The shared "saga" approach to community journalism is unique, too.  You can find my profile on http://cowbird.com/author/mike-arnzen/  Haven't been journaling for awhile now, and while I've always preferred to keep my daily life private, this still seemed like…
