Gorelets.com Returns to its Mobile-Friendly Roots

While "responsive" is a word I usually associate with "Things Doctors Say In Intensive Care Units," it's also a word that now applies to this website. "Responsive" means that the site automatically recognizes if you're reading it with a touchscreen device and it changes to make it more mobile-friendly. [The same is true of the Arnzen Social Network page at http://michaelarnzen.com/ and most of the other main pages linked in my menu.] While I doubt it's perfect, you can now far more easily read the text and browse pages while on the road, riding in the back of your hearse…

New in ebook: Many Genres, One Craft

A quick update to note that the massive fiction writing guide that I co-edited last year, Many Genres, One Craft: Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction, is now available in an affordable ebook form for the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook.

Many Genres has not only swept up an astounding number of industry awards, it also is getting rave reviews from writers who…

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…

Kindle Experiments

I've begun another series of weird photos -- "Kindle Experiments" -- over on my flickr gallery. Just having fun messing around with shots of my amazon kindle. Let me know what you think. Plans are afoot with publishers of my backlist to produce ebook versions of my novels and collections in the year to come. Keep an eye on my Amazon profile if you're looking for something new for your kindle, nook, kanookiedindle, et cetera.

Happy New Year 2011!

As I work on the next issue of The Goreletter, I thought I'd post a little New Year's round up of recent activity and news of some exciting things to spill soon out of the cracks in the Arnzen brainbox. Earlier today, I uploaded scans of a few rare broadsides from days of yore to the new "Arnzen Manuscripts and Rarities" collection on Scribd.com. I thought fans of my book, Proverbs for Monsters, might like to get a peek at the history behind some of the stories. (Dark Regions Press is selling Proverbs for Monsters at a nice discount right…
