Thanks for all the support regarding the "Oculus" cover reveal. For those of you who indicated interest in being part of my blog tour, I sent all your contact information to my publicist, Roxanne Rhoades, who is helping me set it up. I just got overwhelmed with individual emails, the book getting plopped in my lap, and planning my business trip to the Consumer Electronics Show on January 5th.
Between that and trying to figure out what to do, I just realized I could use some assistance. Roxanne previously helped Ciara Knight which made me think, if Ciara got help from this lady that's good enough for me. Plus she was uber affordable. I was like, "OMG, I spend that kind of money on one meal out with friends. So totally worth it."
So if you get an email from Roxanne about scheduling, please don't toss it. She's just helping me. Things are super busy at work too. And look at it this way, with her helping me, my visiting to your blogs shouldn't diminish because I'll have time to do so now. :)
Thanks everyone. Have a great Monday.
Your art is amazing. I love it!
ReplyDeleteNice job with the shading.
ReplyDeleteWon't toss the email if I get one.
Andy looks like he has some issues. Sensible move to get help if it frees time to do other stuff. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're not paying too much for blog tour help. I've seen some sites charging WAY too much for that.
ReplyDeleteYou're so multi talented. Your covers are terrific and I like having them on my blog. Good luck with the blog tour.
ReplyDeleteI love all the textures and movement in your drawing!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome artwork! You're very talented.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on Andy. Definitely sounds like you made the right decision getting help with the tour.
ReplyDeleteOoh, a publicist and a business trip. You are living large now.
ReplyDeletegreat drawing
ReplyDeleteEmbiggen? :D
ReplyDeleteCool drawing. It was snowy here this weekend too.
Love the drawing! As usual;)
ReplyDeleteGood job on the feet! Seriously. Some professional artist (Liefeld) don't do feet so well.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a Roxanne to help me. Not with publicity, just with life.
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork.

What good drawing. I'm impressed. As you might remember, I'm taking drawing lessons right now. I've got a long way to go to draw as well as you do. I hope you plan on illustrating some of your books.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that so many writers also draw. Both pursuits must use the same side of the brain.
ReplyDeleteMichael, That sketch is beautiful! You're multi-talented.
ReplyDeleteHi, Michael,
ReplyDeleteGreat mood in this piece. It's amazing how much we have in common. Not too many writer's can illustrate too!
Congrats on your new book and the cover is awesome. I a bit late.... As usual, time slips away from me. Lost in remodels, sewing window treatment and pillows, keeping up with blogger friends, and work. Not enough time. Never enough time.
Keep up the good work Michael. You can do it. Life is challenging and you seem to be up for it! It's great that your talent takes you in so many different directions... another thing we have in common.
Hey that's great. I really admire artists. Seeing as I can't draw for toffee.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Mike. So awesome! The shading is amazing.
ReplyDeleteNice drawing! :)
ReplyDeletenice job, mike :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive drawing!
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely a talented artist -- and for me Andy looks kinda vulnerable. Were you going for that? Oh, and it snowed here in Denver too, or at least an icy mixture of sleet and freeze.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is so small I don't know if being part of your tour would help, but of course I plan to read and review Oculus on it. Will that be good?
It's been snowy here in Central Oregon, too. I wish I had your talent for drawing. that's really, really good.
ReplyDeleteAffordable help? I'll have to look into that in the future.
Wow! That is impressive! I wish I could draw, but alas, not a talent of mine. No snow here, but my parents (also in Utah) said they got a foot of snow. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the affordable help. :)
You're multi talented! I wish I would have kept up on my artwork over the years. Good luck with Occulus!
ReplyDeleteIt starts to snow in November? I'll file that one away.
ReplyDeleteNice drawing. So jealous of those that can draw.
Fantastic! Great job on the details and shading. I saw the cover but I missed the reveal. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteA writer and a drawer--NICE!
ReplyDelete@Helena: Thanks, Helena. I don't think a blog's size matters. Do book tours sell books? Probably no. But they do increase the online footprint. And I think that's what we authors want to keep in focus when planning one. Make as big a footprint as possible.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Not only are you a writer, but an artist too! That is a very impressive drawing! And if you need someone else for your blog tour, let me know! I'd love to be part of it. Would have volunteered earlier, but as you know... I've been MIA :D
ReplyDeleteYou're a talented illustrator. And a smart author to hire a publicist.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are really good. I wish I could draw my characters.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I could draw like you. Stunning drawing.
ReplyDeleteI shall keep an eye out for an email from Roxanne.
You are talented Michael. I have placed order for one Slipstream paperback from Amazon to be shipped to MALAYSIA :) I am not able to purchase Oculus from the options available, we'll wait for the hardcopy :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best and success on the book tour and the book.
You're so talented. I suck at drawing. Like, really suck!
ReplyDeletePlease give Roxanne my details too - I'd love to be part of your tour.
You're good!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on the illustration!
ReplyDeleteHoly talent! Wow... Michael, you've got skills...
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, Michael!
ReplyDeleteHm...why does my mind jump straight into the gutter when you say "interesting things happen"?
I gotta get Oculus onto my eReader stat. Need some scifi for the Thanksgiving-trip-home flights. Woo!
