Life, the universe and my new writing nook #mondayblogs #mynewspace

Published by Kai on February 20, 2023

I’ve spent the last few months trying to work out what I’m going to do with myself.  I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but the plan at the beginning of the year was to release 52 books this year. And when I said it, I was sincere, and I still am.  But, had I known then what I know now…. I might have set the bar a little bit lower. I wanted though to touch base. It’s been a busy first couple of months, and I’ve got several pieces of news.Firstly, the books are on track.  I’ve got several…

The countdown to Glass Block – DedicationsGlass BLock by D Kai Wilson-Viola

The countdown to Glass Block – Dedications

Published by Kai on May 17, 2022
This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Countdown to Glass Block...and beyond...

So, Glass Block will be out on Friday the 20th, and in the countdown to it, I’ll be sharing some stuff. Tomorrow, I’ll be talking about why it’s even related, in a way to my non-fiction, but front and centre, I wanted to share my dedications. Not everyone that supports me is specifically name-checked here, for various reasons, but I’ve covered, I hope, everyone important. Dedications Dear reader. Most of these names won’t mean a thing to you, unless you’re one of the people listed. You are welcome to skip them, but if you know me, online or off, you…

New stuff…a new design, backlist announcements and more! #mondayblogs

Published by Kai on May 16, 2022

Firstly, I’ve redesigned my blog. I’d love to hear what people think of it, and if you’d like to see anything.I’ll be connecting up more of my blogs as time goes on, but for the time being, and I’d love it if you sign up to my newsletter. I’m also delighted to announce that on Friday, I’ll be relaunching Glass Block! Glass Block When Big Brother fell out of popularity in the early part of the 21st century it was replaced with ever more ‘realistic’ reality TV shows, till the need for this was replaced with a need for fantasy.…

F is for Fantasy #atozchallenge

Published by Kai on April 7, 2022
This entry is part 8 of 10 in the series Blogging From AtoZ 2022

Fantasy has a special place in my heart – I’ve always read it. My first full length book that I read as a child was The Hobbit (or it might have been ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’), but, until recently, my fantasy writing mostly was ‘actual play’ or other stuff like that.Today, I’m kicking off a new free reader magnet. Those of you that have been around me a while might recognise Shula, Adana and Tavar/Taern. If you don’t, I’ll love to introduce you to them, and what better way than a reader magnet? The Firemaids’ Temple When…

What was that whoosh? Oh, November? #mondayblogs #rungirlrun #nanowrimo #ludosport

Published by Kai on December 6, 2021

What was that whoosh?Oh, it was November. Wow, ok.So, here’s the roundup, I guess. New hobby! So, normally, the big news in November would be my birthday, or Nanowrimo. But, actually, this year, the big excitement is Ludosport! My beloved and I (yeah, that’d be the guy in ‘a Nanowrimo love story‘) started learning Ludosport, aka Lightsaber duelling. Already though, I know it’s more than that. It’s a whole culture of support, care and honesty, and a really good workout. But it’s accessible too. I’m managing almost as well as the rest of the people training, and that’s even with…

Going to war redux

Published by Kai on July 3, 2011

Well done to those that got the ‘Dr Who’ reference 😉 The last week has seen some chances in how I view the community – I’m beginning to see that one of the major problems is that there are some people in the community that castigate people with one breath and then, scarily, endorse them in another.  It seems, basically, that there are some in the community more interested in choosing to play their own interests off against lying.  And I’m not sure how to address that other than, possibly, ignore them for all but the most important stuff. War is going…

One month to go

One month to go

Published by Kai on May 4, 2011

I have to admit to being really very excited right now, an excitement that I can only really imagine is going to get more and more intolerable until the 4th of June. It’s incredible to think that I’m going to be published in less than 33 days.  In one month, exactly, I’m going to be dealing with my very messed up, very hot, very deprecating detective that drives me up the wall and won’t shut up at 4am when he’s got something really important to tell me. Yes, my character wakes me up in the middle of the night and talks to…

Release schedules….

Published by Kai on April 28, 2011

One of the major areas I’m looking at right now, while increasing my ‘discipline’ and butt in seat stickivity for my writing is to look at my release schedules. So, when I’ve got Glass Block out the gates, I’ve got several choices – Near Earth, Black Monday or another book, I’m not sure whether I’ll move forward with one of several books, or if I’ll take the time to build up my copywriting business, or do something else.  All I do know is the next few weeks and months are going to be jam packed, and I hope that they’ll…

Books, books books!

Published by Kai on April 7, 2011

Yep, I’m positively giddy right now. I’ve got not one, but two books coming out in the next 60 days. Reissuing…. Footnotes to a Lesson was most recently issued in an anthology of short stories – the rights reverted last year at some point and I completely forgot to re-release it in eBook format (oops). It’s written under my horror pen name ‘Sabrann Curach’, and is a ‘Thinking Man’s’ Zombie story. links to follow, but what do you think? 🙂                 And the big news…. When Big Brother fell out of popularity in…

Exciting stuff

Published by Kai on March 10, 2011

It’s not all gloom and doom in my household. One of the big projects I’m launching post graduation is my new press project.  It’s two parts at the moment – with the whole thing being ran from one site – Occam’s Library is my e-book print arm, and covers working on the Kindle, and the Nook and other projects that involve the ‘simplest’ solution, while Schrödinger’s Library is the print project and will be lagging slightly behind this one.  I think that the overall project needs a proper name, so for now it’s falling under Lime-in-the-coconut , which was my…

Shameless self promotion – books, sites and how to encourage me ;)

Published by Kai on February 17, 2011

One of the off list conversations I had with the people who were asking me about my stuff, and encouraging me not to be shy is to ask to have you guys urge me. So I bowed to peer pressure, in a positive way. The following ways are the absolute best ways to get me to – find out about the books I’ve mentioned in the past, urge me to write them, and get access to them, and the writing process before/after/getting your mitts on them. Having a strong fan base will also help me convince publishers that I’m a…
