A Dark Whimsy Amazon.com: A Dark Whimsy eBook : LaLonde, DS: Kindle Store

Daily reminder that it’s a noble deed to preorder books from indie authors.

On an unrelated topic, we’re hoping for more preorders for A Dark Whimsy, our contemporary dark fantasy tale of horror in the forest.

If we could somehow manage 10 preorders for A Dark Whimsy before its November 13th release, I’d consider it a major win.

Preorders for the ebook of A Dark Whimsy are now live on the Zon. A strong book release would be a neat thing, so please consider preordering.

If you look very close and give it great consideration, you can perhaps pinpoint when Tor Nightfire added our Insta post to their story. It’s very subtle.

The more stressors life presents, the more pizza I eat.
There’s a direct correlation, entirely consistent and undeniable.

Dear person reading one of my books on KU in Australia right now,
Thank you so much. It’s incredibly cool to think of someone on the other side of the world reading my words.

Last month we had over 11,000 KU pages read across our books, whereas this month we’re on track for maybe 2,000.

These things really do bounce up and down from one month to the next. Can’t decipher a rhyme or reason to it.

D.S. LaLonde's review of Coffin Moon 5/5: This new release is already among my favorite vampire books. Bonus points for featuring a classic vampire who is very much a true monster, ready and willing to perform horrid acts. Here’s a two...

The new vampire novel by Keith Rosson is really top notch.

That’s a solid point. I hope the (lack of) misspelling isn’t indicative of this being one of those fake cheezit pizzas that are probably flooding the market.

Commutes are foul monsters constructed of lost minutes, stalled highways, and engine exhaust.
Everyday, they nibble a bit of my soul away.
Anyway, have a great Monday.

Yet again I’ve failed to do a competent job of gathering sufficient reviewers for our new release.
Next time, though … next time will be better.

My crime novel, A Seance for Wicked King Death, is one rating shy of 100 on Goodreads. If you’ve read it, help me get over the mark please! If you haven’t, the ebook is 99 cents on Kindle.

Inigo Montoya is an entirely awesome character. But don’t be like him. Let your grudges go.

When writing fiction, it’s important to use words most readers know, so as to not alienate them.

Except solivagant. Use that one all the time, because it’s awesome.

Solivagant: rambling alone, marked by solitary wandering.
