How the time does fly. Many of you bloggers are probably stumbling across here because I have created some hoopla about my book coming out, and this being my release blog. Well, congrats, you found it! If you look over my past blogs, you will find that I wrote a blog each day of writing. Why I did this, I can't exactly remember. But I do think it helped my writing to keep a critical perspective of what I was doing.
But now the time is almost upon us. I have spent the last year or so editing my book, and when I got tired of that, developing a game based on the book. I have called it a book born of a game and a game born of a book. Sort of poetic, right? It all goes back to Moonbreaker, my first XBox Live Indie Game that I published. But now... it's so much more.
Any day now "Project Gert: Recon" will be published and live at the same time as "Project Gert" the novel. You'll find the novel on Amazon.com, and soon to be Kindle and whatever other place I can get it out there. It shall be priced reasonably, at 14.95. They set a minimum of 14.05, but this had a zero profit margin in some channels, so I had to up the base price a bit. Now the profit margin is at least acceptable, being at 33 cents at its lowest, but over 2 dollars in other places. My philosophy is this, if I sell over a million copies, I should be a millionaire, right?
So here we are... a few days away from Dec 7th. On that day history will be made, as a lowly programmer and writer will declare himself a master of both, and publish on each separate medium on the same day.
And to top it off, two things on the same day is twice the stress, isn't it? So I've included for you this slightly artistic picture, depicting stressed out dudes.

It all sounds... kind of... poetic?
