I've gone through so much working on Boiled Cat. I've had learn a lot, worked like I've never worked before, and done things I didn't think I had the ability to accomplish. But it's been worth it. I've never had as much fun as I've had this past half year. From building the HUGE www.boiledcat.com site - to learning how to create a Kindle e-book I've really grown as a writer.
I had two books come out this spring - both I'm super proud of. Touch is one of the best books I've written to date. It's about a hacker who, in the first chapter, takes down the schools system with a cute electronic sheep hack. Boiled Cat came out shortly after. It's about a punk rock singer trying to run from his past but learning that to keep the family he's worked so hard to get - he has to stand and fight. Both very different books, but similar in that they both have strong male teen characters and have a lower level of reading. I always try to make my books accessible by youth who have difficulty reading. After all I did when I was a teen and dyslexia isn't something you can concentrate your way out of.
Anyway, I hope my books go over well. But really, I write what I want to read. That way, at least I enjoy the results.

The Boiled Cat website went up at 2:00 in the morning, last night. It's not complete. I still want to add so much more, like a dress Kevin badly paper doll. And the e-book is not available yet, but the soft cover is. So basically it was time to launch.
I'm really happy with how it turned out. It was a truely collaborative effort. So many tallented artists (in a variety of genres) lent their hand and helped me out. Be sure to check out the production pages of the website to see what they have going on.
I don't know how things will turn out from here. I hope it goes well, but even if it doesn't - this has been a fun trip. Four months of nose to the grindstone work - but fun. I'm glad I did it.
There are just a few loose ends to tie up now. Art for the website, IRS tax paperwork, the E-book and MOST IMPORTANT a great big book launch to thank all the people who helped out. That I'm looking forward too. I need a big party after all this!
So stay tuned for launch info and in the mean time check out www.boiledcat.com - if you like it, share it with your friends.
Thanks again everyone! It's been fun!

I'm finally almost done the Boiled Cat website - and just in time. The book should be out within weeks. I have a t-shirt shop set up. I've read proofs, both hard copy and online. I've made numerous phone calls and dealt with a multitude of interruptions. I've read 15 pages of legalize to understand all the things I was signing. I think I get it. I think I've made good decisions - but sometimes I wish I could peek forward to see if I've done everything right.
Then again, maybe not.
