Kevin Williams

ANNOUNCEMENT.
For my ten year anniversary here? New covers+ upgrades for everything!
At a million words a week, I should be done by the end of feb.
(Man! Had everything proofed before posting. Shoulda been after.)

Oh, the AI rev? Bring it.
Stealing market share, capturing a demographic, developing a fan-base?
That's the game. Always has been.
Unfortunately, so are goons, thieves and legislation. Luckers, people.

Latest novels:
The Finest Evil in the System : AI Woes Jan 2024

FANTASY Aaron+Henna: The Elfin Princess's Kiss may 2023
SF: Teddyhunter Rogue planets June 2023
BOTH The Finest Evil in the System : AI Woes Jan 2024
Shorts : The Finest Evil in the System; Loons, goons + booms.

Novels are usually 100,000 words: freebies vary. (And might be ANYTHING!)
If you don't fall over laughing at least once while reading, the book is a failure.

Other than that, SF is the lit/philosophy of western urbanization.
Problem-solving
the effect of tech
on people
via new mythology.

Beware, you MAY learn something. Or think a bit here and there, even in the comics..

Cartooning? Does-is-ought. Take a does, show what it is, (is is?) discuss the ought. (ie: table= work-server= that gossips)
SF? what if, then what, so what?
Fantasy? Any sufficiently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic. (Characters in conflict over issues)

***

Readers are welcome to proof-read; if I think it's a good correction, it goes in. (just send an e-mail, book-name + quoted line) Thanks. (One long-suffering reader got a few books dedicated to him.)

On a personal note; I've got nearly 2 million words published at smashwords.com now. SF + fantasy novels, cartoons + short-stories.

Jeez, lemme see; This whole mess got started in grade school; shorts in HS; novels after. (first one done in pencil.)

Dozen or so 80,000 word novelettes (mostly type-writer.); first computer stuff, 80's; novels+shorts.

Years of zines, quarterlies, novels, cartoons; (apple-clones, compacts, pcs) '86: BBSing a shorts echo (rogue-bone), blogs and cartooning. I THINK I can add another million words there. Maybe. Most of them are lost unless some old CD backups turn up.

2021: Dead tree? If you don't make the best-seller list with your first novel today, you don't get a second. An 8-million web-wonder hit is entry-level stuff. (for movies. An ebook best seller is 10,000 or so) I think my count is 43 currently published over 8 years; and another dozen or so early works lost.

******************
* WARNING! * Live and live, (long i vs short) tho and thou. I use thou as tho sometimes. It's the most common complaint. Mostly edited out, but I still do.
******************
Writing has been a hobby of mine since the third grade, and was an ambition even earlier. Cartooning, music + philosophy are other bad habits I keep up. (Plus a few secret ones I'm NOT telling you about, so there!)

Zining SF cons with shorts for years (on the freebie table) was a hobby. Well, till charging for intros,(lessons) freebie-table placements and contests became common. It was fun; quarterly editions, mostly. Fantasy, horror (Halloween), children's (Christmas), romantic comedy, (Valentines, st pats) hard SF, on july 1st or world con.

Most are in the short-story collections, tho I'm still writing the occasional one today.

Enjoy, thanks, pass it on! (Have a day of it, eh?)
