  • Metal and Ash- Episode 2

    Welcome back, ya’ll!

    Glad you could make it for episode two of Metal and Ash. A little late this week, but such is the life of a busy writer.

    Just a reminder to get your copy of Little Dead Man. If you dig the zombie element of the Apex Trilogy then you’ll love Little Dead Man. It may be YA, but it is great for all!

    Oh, and see that Facebook Like button to the right? How’s about you give that a click! I’d appreciate it greatly. It’s the best way to keep up to date on what’s happening with Jake Bible Fiction!

    Hope you enjoy this week’s episode!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Welcome back to the Party!

    I was glad to see we had a guest join the Party last week. Very nice. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then please go back and read last week’s Drabble and the drabble in the comments.

    So, like I promised, I would talk about the drabbles in the comments. The one drabble fit well with the story in the one I posted. It took up where mine left off and continued the narrative. If I were to criticize, and who the hell am I to do that, I would say that the “punchline” ending may have been a bit much. But that’s just me. After having written hundreds and hundreds of drabbles over the years I have shied away from the punchline. Well, most of the time. We all know a good punchline is hard to resist. But overall an excellent addition!

    Thanks to brighteyeddyer for joining in the Party! You all should get in on this too! have an extra 100 words just hanging out? Throw them up here! But, remember that the 100 words should build on, or expand, or be related in some way to the drabble I post.

    And here that drabble be!

    Enjoy!

    Cheers!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    The first Party of 2013 and it will be a doozy!

    I had mentioned before that starting in 2013 the Party was gonna change a bit. How? Well, it is now an open invite Party! What does that mean? It means you get to bring your own Drabbles to the party!

    How will that work? I’ll still be posting my Drabble each week. have a read and then instead of a subject free for all, go ahead and add your own drabble in the comments section below that either builds on mine or is stays close to it.

    Example: My drabble is about space aliens that find a football on their planet. You can keep going with the story or you can write a drabble about a different set of aliens that find a baseball. Or maybe humans that find some alien sports paraphernalia. Or a lonesome football that was left behind after interstellar settlers abandoned a planet. Get where I’m going with it?

    Excellent!

    Each week I’ll pick the drabble that I think fits best and just grabs me. I’ll talk about it during the following week’s Party. Right now it isn’t a contest, but in the future it could be. I’ll see what prizes I can wrangle up!

    So get to counting those words, folks! Have fun!

    Enjoy!

    Tonight, For Once

    Cheers!

    Disclaimer: There is no right or wrong way to write a drabble. Just wrong word counts.

  • Jake On Jake: 2013- The Year of Romance!

    Jake: Happy New Year!

    Jake: Thanks, buddy!

    Jake: You looking forward to 2013?

    Jake: I am. Very much.

    Jake: You were pretty productive in 2012. You think you can top that in 2013?

    Jake: Oh, I know I can. I will probably write and publish at least four novels this year.

    Jake: Whaaaaaaa?

    Jake: Yep. Gonna be writing my butt off.

    Jake: But Metal and Ash was 152k words. How can you write four novels that size?

    Jake: Oh, I can’t. I plan on writing some smaller novels. Mainly in the romance genre.

    Jake: *chokes* Did you say…romance?

    Jake: Yep. That shouldn’t be surprising. I’ve been writing romance/erotica for a couple years now under a couple pen names. Those titles have actually been my bread and butter, outselling my Jake Bible titles for quite a while there.

    Jake: Ok, so you’re not just jumping on the 50 Shades bandwagon then?

    Jake: Nope. In fact one of my pen names helped establish the self-published erotica market. Then Amazon changed the rules and novels started outselling short stories. I’m done with short stories and will focus on short novels.

    Jake: But you’re known for science fiction/thriller/horror. How can you expect romance to be successful?

    Jake: You ever notice anything about my novels? They all have strong female protagonists. And the great thing about writing romance is that it isn’t much different than anything else. I just substitute sex for action. Instead of people busy blasting away with guns they’re busy getting busy. A good story is about the characters.

    Jake: But what about your core audience?

    Jake: I just released two novels at the end of 2012 for them. I’ll have the Metal and Ash podcast releasing this week. Plus, I’m working on the DEAD MECH graphic novel script. And I will be writing some more Jake Bible scifi/thriller/horror goodness. But romance pays the bills. And there be plenty of those.

    Jake: Will any of the romance stuff be under your name? Uh, our name…

    Jake:  One will. Well, it’ll be under JD Bible. Initials sell better. The rest will be under a couple of different pen names.

    Jake: Will your fans be able to know those pen names?

    Jake: Maybe. If they are paying attention. I’ll certainly be hinting at one name.

    Jake: Oooh, oooh, oooh! Can you tell me now?

    Jake: Nope. Not yet.

    Jake: Bummer. So what else do you have planned?

    Jake: That will probably take up most of my year. I do plan on writing the sequel to Little Dead Man and publishing that in late Fall.

    Jake: How has that novel been doing?

    Jake: Slow sales, but great reception. I’ve heard from several people that have read it that they loved it and can’t wait for more. I have a feeling sales will pick up now that all those kids got ereaders for Christmas.

    Jake: Cool. So, overall, how many manuscripts will you produce in 2013?

    Jake: Little Dead Man 2. At least one novel for one pen name and at least two more for the other. I could even do three or four, depending on time. Plus the DEAD MECH graphic novel script.

    Jake: That’s a lot of words.

    Jake: I could do twice that if 2013 is nice to me and I end up writing full time.

    Jake: Could that happen?

    Jake: Fingers crossed, man. Fingers crossed.

    Jake: Any other news?

    Jake: Plenty, but I’ll save it for another post.

    Jake: Fair enough. I guess that’s all?

    Jake: That’s all.

    Jake: Cheers!

    Jake: Right back atcha.

    Jake Bible lurvs to write. He lurvs it, he lurvs it, he lurrrrrrrrrrrrvs it!
