Uprising update
I’m taking the box of autographed books to the post office. Each book is signed differently, so each one is unique to the owner. Thank you to those that ordered them.
First time.
I just had my first book signing. At the Bitter Creek Bookstore, in Vernal.
Pretty cool. No big thing in the grand scheme of things… But for your humble little Ogre, kind of a monumental event.
Holding my book in my hand for the first time… It was sweet. Made it “real”.
Uprising Updates
I updated the Uprising Page. New information there, and a possible new cover for Uprising UK. I noticed that the big book sellers had a pricing war going on, Amazon had it for one price, then B&N had it for a lower price, so Amazon dropped it… now it’s only 12.20 from either company. E-book prices are lower still of course.
Books for me to Autograph are in route and should be here soon for me to sign in blood… or just Red Ink… then I’ll ship them all back to the publisher for distribution.
I’ve been asked about Book Signings at the stores like Larry does. Guys, Larry’s a freaking Author/Rockstar. Not only do guys line up to get their books inked by the man, other Authors are begging him to Tag Team with him. Larry walks the Earth with Large Strides. Deservedly so. He’s earned those Kudos the hard way. Me? I’m no “Larry Freaking Correia”. Honestly, I don’t want the attention. I tell you what… If you see me at the Range, and you want me to ink your book… I’d be happy to do so. But don’t act like Larry’s fans… Girls pulling off their small clothes and throwing them at Larry… Guys pulling out their armor plates throwing them at Larry… No… Don’t do that. Uprising is no great work of literature, it’s just a lark. Now if you want to give me Ammo… by all means.
However I am putting much more effort into UK and it’s going to be a much better book on all counts. As jazzed as I am for Uprising USA to be out there and people reading it and enjoying it for what it is – Awesome – I’m all the more jazzed for Uprising UK.
Talking about Uprising.
A scene from Uprising UK
In this scene “Uncle Musket” is sitting on top of an LAV outside of the Castle Inverness.
Uncle Musket stayed with the vehicles, sitting on top of one with his musket in one hand and a suppressed 1911 in the other because of my insistence. Until he could fit a gun muffler to the old muzzle loader, it was an operational necessity. Begrudgingly, he accepted that. He flicked the safety on and off. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. “Huh?” Musket stopped and listened, tilting his head. There was something out there in the fog. He could hear shuffling off in the distance, but he couldn’t tell where it came from. He stared into the swirling mist, looking through the light and dark and not seeing anything. But he could feel it. He left the pistol off safe.
Things get out of hand quickly.
On Gunfighter Cast again.
Had a great interview/talk/conversation with our friend Daniel Shaw on the Gunfighter Cast.
We of course talked about the book “Uprising“. During the conversation I didn’t realize how much time it was till I hung up the phone… 87 minutes. Good grief. The Podcast is of course edited down for time and content… but it just shows that it was a good time. A good time makes for good listening.

Uprising hard copy Pre-Orders
The printer came back ahead of schedule and the galley proof was perfect. This means it’s now possible to order an advance copy. It won’t be available on Amazon.com for another 5 to 7 days. It will take 6 to 8 weeks to become fully distributed by wholesalers and bookstores.
Uprising USA on Amazon
Uprising USA is now available for the Kindle Reader!
Positive reviews would be very much appreciated.
