  1. @TheCracks1 And so you shall. I placed an order through my publisher today, so will have books to distribute very shortly!
  2. Get your wallets ready. Just a few days until The Lesser Evil book 3 hits Amazon and Book Depository and the internet in general!
  3. Have done 187 pages of artwork since 1 April. Also wrote 30 pages of my next project longhand this week. Feeling REALLY productive! #Writing
  4. Rediscovering the joys of writing longhand in notebooks. Have spent the last two days of commutes doing just that. Wonderful stuff.
  5. @MrMcGarnical @TheCracks1 Yep, no more spine typo editions! They will remain rare collector items.
  6. Just two days left in the final giveaway for The Lesser Evil Book 1 wefancybooks.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/guest-… More info about the book here: shanewsmith.com/published-work…
  7. @JFlamestar @TheCracks1 "Death's Feast" (shanewsmith.com/works-in-progr…) is just a working title. The Greater Evil just became a possible alternative!
  8. @TheCracks1 The Lesser Evil Book 3 is coming soon. I've seen the proof and the cover, I know it exists... but all I can say is "soon" sorry!
  9. What have you given up for your creative work? I gave up sleep - cut down to 5 hours a night. #SacrificeForWriting
  10. Great article by @markgilroy Why Readers Read New Fiction Authors (And Why They Don't): bit.ly/Lx7LWU
  11. Writers: don't forget to regularly backup your work. Last week had a scare that could have cost me dearly if not for my external HDD backup!
  12. $50 Worth of Vistaprint Products for just $10. Worth checking out - they do good stuff. livingsocial.com/deals/339374-5… via @LivingSocial
  13. Reading Coriolanus at the moment, will probably finish today. Kind of keen to see the movie now - it's one of the underappreciated S'Speares
  14. 1 day left in the Books Are Magic giveaway for The Lesser Evil: vidya-booksaremagic.blogspot.in/2012/05/interv… & this one still has 2 wks to go: wefancybooks.blogspot.in/2012/05/guest-…
  15. Would you want to be a driving instructor in a world with flying cars? shanewsmith.com/blog/2009/12/f… Of course you wouldn't! #WheresMyJetpack
  16. Very pleased and proud to get an article about getting published printed in May 2012 ACTWrite ( @actwriters ): dl.dropbox.com/u/28754200/May… #writing
  17. "Writing To Me Is..." ...complicated. The last leg of my Orangeberry book tour for The Lesser Evil: pandorapoikilos.com/2012/05/shanew…
  18. Last few hours of the 10% discount. Enter code "APMA12" and check out The Lesser Evil, Book 1 @bookdepository b00k.co/nufy15
  19. Quite an interesting article about the different perspectives regarding Amazon and publishing: crosscut.com/2012/05/09/ama…
