Oh My!: A thinking man’s guide to crossplay

Oh My!: A thinking man’s guide to crossplay

Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed increased interest in the how to’s of male to female crossplay. After participating in many of these online discussions over the years and contributing what I’ve learned from my own experiences, I was inspired to write a comprehensive little guide! (Click here to download for Nook, Kindle and iPad versions coming soon!)

This is for any guy who has thought that they might want to dress up in drag for Halloween, or perhaps has been tempted to cosplay as Sailor Moon at an anime convention. I think it hits all of the important bases with straight talk and a bit of humor. There’s a lot of information spread all over the web which makes it hard to get a handle on things if you’re just beginning. So I hope this guide will be a gateway to what I think is one of the most fun and rewarding forms of cosplay.

Update: The Kindle version just went live! Click here to download.

Hello Monday!

A new week begins! My big goal this week is to finish up a new eBook I’ve been working on. I think it will be a popular subject so I’m excited to get it finished and out the door. Anime Aftershocks seems to be finding an audience, all on the Barnes & Noble Nook eReader for the most part. Whatever the reason, I’m happy that sales are growing!

Ode To A Borders Coupon

I got a 40% off Borders coupon in my email today. Oh coupon, there was once a time when your delicate, ephemeral, digital presence would bring a sliver of joy to my all too analog heart. The anticipation of buying some as yet unknown manga volume at a significant discount made it hard to think of much else. But alas, those days are a fading memory. For little coupon, I have no place left to use you. T_T

Anime Aftershocks Now On The iPad

My first eBook, Anime Aftershocks, is now on the iPad! I think the iPad is going to be an important place to be, so I’m pretty happy that the book is finally on sale in iBooks. It took some effort,which I wrote about in Publishing eBooks On The iPad, but I think will make it easier for me to publish future eBooks.

After playing around with digital comics on iPads as last weekend’s C2E2, I definitely want to get my own iPad as soon as I can. Despite issues with glare when reading in sunlight, I think the iPad is going to become the eBook and comic reader of choice. So it’s good to have my stuff there.
