The Random Movie Challenge

Time to introduce a  new segment here on The Insomniac Author Chronicles. I call it The Random Movie Challenge. Now, movie reviewers are a dime a dozen here on the internet. But usually they stick to one genre or only review movies of a certain quality. Not me. Starting this week, I will review one random movie per week. I will pick the movie by going to the Netflix site and entering in a random number into the url. I will reserve the right for redos on any selections that are: Documentary (I like them but reviewing one is kinda boring), erotic, not a movie (Like a dvd in a series) Everything else is fair game. Will I get a stinker, or a gem? You never know, and that's half the fun! I plan to post these on a regular basis, so keep an eye on the blog for future updates. 

Oh, and if you're interested in contributing to the Random Movie Challenge, make a comment here. I'll send you an invite to contribute to the blog and you can post your reviews as you see fit. But no cheating, you have to pick it truly at random. If I see you continuously reviewing movies of a particular genre or with a particular actor, I'll call foul. 

Till next time!

Just wanted to let everyone know that you can find my facebook author page here. Be sure to like me!

Half of my book sales will go to Japan

As someone who has grown up on Anime, video games and monster movies, I have a soft spot for the land of the rising sun. That's why I've decided to donate half of every book sale I make to aid in the relief efforts. You can find links to my book on the right. Purchase at whichever site you prefer. This will continue for the foreseeable future. Help the tsunami victims, and get a good fantasy novel while you're at it. If you wish to donate directly, my fiance has compiled a list of charities on her blog.

New book out soon!

If you enjoyed The Wizard And the King, then make sure to keep an eye out for Book 2 in the series, titled A Woman Scorned. Here's a preview of the book cover.

Thank you

I'd like to thank those who took part in my 99 cent sale. The sale is now over. You can still get my book for the low price of $2.99 and you might still be able to get it for 99 cents on the amazon links since amazon takes a while for price changes to go through. Find links to the book on the right.

Again, thank you to those who bought the book. I look forward to hearing what you think about it.

New Professional-looking book cover

Here's the new book cover for my book, The Skull Staff - Book 1: The Wizard and the King. You can purchase a copy for 2.99 (99 cents for a limited time) on the links to the right.

Limited time sale on my book. Only 99 cents!!

For a limited time, my book, The Skull Staff, is on sale for 99 cents. You can find links to purchase it on the right. This won't last long!

Minor update: The Smashwords link updated already, however amazon takes forever for price changes to take effect. Should be up in a few hours.

First of many posts

Hello and welcome to my blog. My prime reason for creating this blog was to introduce myself to the world as an indie author. So I'll be talking about writing a lot. I have one published book on both Amazon and Smashwords. You can find the links to the right. Both sites allow you to download a free sample of the novel, so even if you're not currently interested in buying, try it out. In addition to writing novels, I also write reviews of movies and games, as well as commentary on anything from things I've seen to things going on in the world. 


For those who may not know, "Indie" means independent. I've had quite a few hilarious encounters with people who thought it meant "From India." An independent author is someone who has no backing from a publisher. This means that I'm on my own in my attempts to get my book sold. This makes sales very difficult because without a professional ad campaign, many prospective buyers will pass on an indie book in favor of a bestseller. But I urge you to take a chance; if not with my book then at least another indie author. We all must band together.


That in mind, if you yourself are an indie author, let me know. Even if not, please leave a comment, even if it's just to say hi. Don't be shy. I'll be posting a often and about a wide variety of subjects, so be sure to follow me to keep track of my mind droppings. 


I suppose I'll tell a little bit about me. I'm 24, and live with my Fiance Anna. She is a blogger as well. You can locate her blog at This link. She talks about video games, life and her MS. If you're not sure what that last thing is, Educate Yourself.

I'll leave it at that for now. More posts to come.
