A little while ago on my “Serials are a feature, not a bug” post, Jen Twimom mentioned as part of a larger comment that: I have never been a fan of serials because I do NOT like cliffhangers. So I reassured her that there were no cliffhangers in my serial, except: there might be one […]
Did you survive Part II? The abominable worm has struck! And as xidtrebor says: @Meljean It’s not the size of the worm, it’s how it wiggles. #KrakenKingpart2 — Robert Dix (@xidtrebor) April 23, 2014 Reviews and Links! I’m making an effort to link to as many reviews on blogs/sites that I can — and of […]

Whoosh! It’s already the weekend! In a few short days, Part II of THE KRAKEN KING will be hitting your e-readers. I don’t plan to post any long excerpts because they will be terrible spoilers, but… I guess there might be a little something at the end of this post that shouldn’t spoil the action […]

By emails I’ve received and just general rumblings on the internet, I’ve picked up a sense that some readers feel they are being punished by the serial release in some way — that if they are buying the serial, the price and format is their punishment. If they buy the compiled print version, the wait […]
Guess what’s out next week?!! Not that I’m excited! 😀 For fun, I’ve decided to animate bits of each serial cover for its release week. I’ll be writing up a post later about the animation process itself, but for now, I’m wondering: What should be out the window? Cover #1, the fire (as on the […]

I’m always kind of astonished how quickly news spreads around romancelandia. This morning I got an email about this listing on Amazon — which I know wasn’t there yesterday, because I’ve been checking — asking me to confirm that, yes, the biographical info was correct. Yes, it’s correct. This was the “after Guardians” thing I hinted […]
Happy April 1st Since it is April 1st, it’s a good day to announce that I’m no longer writing steampunk or paranormal stuff and switching over to New Adult. The cover reveal for my first book is up at Dear Author. And I’ll be M. Brook now, because initials are cool. Like bow-ties. Wrecked is still […]

Answer: Yes! Right now it is $12.99 at most stores, and $10.99 at Amazon, so I can understand how prohibitive that is. But, good news! The mass-market edition is coming out April 1st.
