Ping and ye shall receive.

I put this together a long time ago and meant to mention it here, but you know me, internet. Always on to the next thing, never looking back. One hand tenderly strokes your face while the other frantically reaches for the stars, as the saying goes.

Anyways: as far as I know this here is a collection of every song that was ever posted to the Whygodwhy Lounge. Please download and enjoy, do with them as you please, with my blessing. Someday I want to start this up again but WGW Inc and its subsidiaries operate on a fairly tight margin, affording neither the time nor the softwares that allow one to indulge in the more leisurely pursuits. Again with the stars.

I was in this video and it was a fairly big hit around the video game industry blogosphere this past April 1st.

I think this is probably the only time I’ve ever mentioned my waking life on this website, but the occasion seems right.

If you ordered your copy of  The Location Scout before 5 pm Central on Thursday March 12, it is now in the mail, on its way to you at speeds untold. That means you, United States. That means you, Canada and the United Kingdom. That even means you, Romania! Romania, you guys. We sell to Romania at a loss, but it’s OK. You have to give to live.

As of this writing there are 4 copies left. I think that will probably be it, at least for the forseeable future. We want to focus on the next project, which we also hope to finish this year. The theme for 2009 is Setting Achievable Goals. It has gotten us this far. Thank you.

ETA: Sold out. Thank you!

The Location Scout is the story of a Hollywood Location Scout who one day gets offered a job with the Witness Protection Program. He travels the world identifying locations in order to help people get where they need to be. The Location Scout knows the entire planet like the back of his hand. Then one day he realizes he has no idea where he is.

The Location Scout is a story about choices and uncertainty and being lost and finding your way in the world.

Steve Himmer says:

I really enjoyed The Location Scout - it certainly felt complete as it was, but I would have loved to keep reading and to stay in that world longer. I loved the sense of a whole world of people in hiding, and that the metaphor wasn’t overdone - lots to think about, without being told WHAT to think about, and I always enjoy that in fiction.

Josh Allen says:

[D]on’t quote me on this, but I think — MAYBE — I think maybe Location Scout is my favorite thing you’ve written.

I first mentioned this book on my tumblr a week or 2 ago. It was sold-out for a little while but I have some more copies now. The reviews are starting to come in on Goodreads and basically people seem to like it.

This is a self-produced affair, 1/2 size, 12pp. About 3000 words. The original idea came to me in August 2008; the bulk was written between October 2008 and last week.

It is available for US$5, including shipping.

Sold out! Thank you.

ETA: I’m thinking of doing another print run. If you’re interested in a copy just let me know and I’ll put you on the list.
