				Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale
			 
			
			
			Polly may be easy, but she's not cheap. Well, except this month, when you can get her book for half-off. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	If you've been enjoying her quotes (above) you should know that, through the month of July, Polly! and all the other great novel-length science fiction and fantasy ebooks from Parsina Press are participating in the Smashwords annual Summer/Winter Sale (summer in the Northern Hemisphere, winter in the Southern). This is the ideal time to get to meet her in person and experience this extraordinary lady for yourself. Stock up for reading, whichever season you're in. The world of literature is filled with great characters, but I promise you won't find many who are both as funny and as thought-provoking as Polly.  |

	Don't forget, there's just 9 more days to buy Polly! at half price on Smashwords.  |

			Polly! has just been awarded a place on the Awesome Indies list of quality independent fiction. That makes me even more proud of it than ever. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Remember, just a couple days left to take advantage of the half-price sale on Smashwords, which ends on July 31. Pleasant reading.  |

				Polly gets a medal
			 
			
			
			I'm very proud to announce that Polly! has been awarded the Medal of Approval from the group Awesome Indie Authors. These are people who are very serious about upgrading professional standards among indie authors, and I'm honored they felt that Polly! made the cut.

				A Month of Mirth
			 
			
			
			I've decided December should be a Month of Mirth. As part of my celebration, I've reduced the ebook price of Polly!  to $1.99 for the entire month of December. This is a great chance to buy a very funny fantasy novel at 60% off.

			My satirical novel Polly! has recently been turned into an audiobook, performed by Joe Hempel. It’s a fantasy version of the boy-meets-girl story, except in this case the girl is much, much more than she appears to be. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	The audiobook is available from iTunes and from Amazon/Audible. I hope you’ll enjoy spending time with Polly!  |
