Added my 50 cents to the c64 “64 of 64” thread on particles…

Rob has been generous enough to put up a preview of some of the things he is working on for the new Commodore book, and I would like to say, on the record, that it is is FRICKING hilarious!

@Dr Zero: If I had enough C64s to go around, I’d give one to everybody!

Also as an experiment, I added my blog to the Kindle as well. If for some reason you want to read it on a Kindle for 99 cents instead of reading it here for free, you now have that option.

Good luck on your next two books, Rob!

I hope you review Kickman for the C64. I always loved that game (and it’s not available on any console).

"Iâ€m down to my last two paperback copies of Commodork and probably wonâ€t be restocking them for a while. I still have about 20 copies of Invading Spaces: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie for sale." Well Scratch off one of each for me! "Everyone will be able to download the book for free; people that enjoy it will have the option of donating toward the cause. I am considering some other interesting ideas to go along with this â€” for example, maybe donations of a certain amount getsa DVD full of game footage with a personalized video message or something. Dunno, still kicking around ideas." How about you donate so much and and you get your own Commodore?

I’m a sucker for a 99 cent Kindle book any day of the week. I just bought Commodork for my Kindle despite the fact that I already have the autographed paperback edition. Since the kindle is on my bed with the Wireless turned off, I won’t be getting it until I get home tonight and remember to turn on the Wireless.

Will you be offering 64 of 64 in print as well?

Cheers!

I am looking forward to reading more of your work. Both books have been great!

Also, Rob finds the time because he is a robot. He needs no rest

Did you ever look for your books in the OKC Metro library? I submitted suggestion forms at my (then) local Pioneer branch and via the Metro site’s suggestion page. I finally found Commodork in the Pioneer Library system 2 or 3 months ago – I checked it out and read it again. Perhaps I should have left it lying out near the computer lab.

No horn-tooting here, just doing my part, sir.

Please elaborate on how you find uninterrupted free time for creative writing with two kids in the house. I seriously can’t be left alone long enough to complete a sentence unless I wake up at 4AM. It must be against policy.

Glad to hear! Looking forward to the “64 of 64” book…I’ll be curious too see if the best and worst match with my best and worst ;) Oddly, when I think back, I enjoyed some thoroughly bad 64 games for some reason. I read this book a while back and it was a pretty good read;
