Let the Redshirtining begin!

LET THE REDSHIRTINING BEGIN!

Hmmm… doesn’t sound right.

Okay, imagine that said in the same tone of voice as “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!” The original, not the Liam Neeson owed somebody money version.

The following people donated at least $50 to the Misha Hintze kidney transplant fund. Some folks even donated more. Misha is still waiting for a donor, since the one they had lined up turned out to be incompatible. Thank you guys though, because you are helping make a difference in a young man’s life.

The following people are going to be redshirted in an upcoming Larry Correia novel. Since we received so many, I can’t promise that all of you will make it into Monster Hunter Alpha (the current project) but you will appear in an upcoming work. Many of you sent info/bios/pics along, and I will use that info if possible, but can’t promise anything. Some of you are already in MHA, just because your name really fit for a character that was already there and all I had to do was tweak it a little bit. 

When I get done, I’ll post again with who is showing up in MHA.

Justin Stevenson

Tyler Nelson 

Jo Ann Schneider

Jason Lococo

Gaige Mosher

Chase Temple

Kai Hintze (Misha’s dad, but somebody contributed extra money on his behalf so that he too could brutally murdered.)

Phillip Pedersen

Ryan Horst

Kirk Conover

Ethan Pedde

Nancy Randall

Lawrence J Lins

Sharon Mangum

Robb Kelley

And a quick question for those of you listed above… Would any of you mind being a sort of bad guy? I’m talking about some not exactly pleasant rival Hunters from a rival company?  Most of them are not good people.  Do I have any volunteers to be sleazy?  I just ask becaue it is one thing to murder you with werewolves, but it is an entirely different thing to make you a jerk in the process. 🙂

What is it with people posting to year old blog posts?

Some folks love to comment on year old political blog posts, where absolutely nobody will see their wisdom. Sometimes I get some real gems too. Like, I just got this one from Gabriel Givens:

If you put the Republicans back in power they will
cut all government checks plus the brand new health care
just so that rich people won’t pay taxes.

Uh… Good?

My only hope is that the new crop of republicans have the guts to murder the hell out of the budget and to cut funding for socialized medicine, because that’s why America is electing them. Not just so those mean rich people won’t pay taxes.  And on the topic of “rich” people. Okay. Rhetorical question time, dumb-ass… Do you have a job?  If so, does the government consider your boss “rich”? (answer, more-than-likely) Would you like your boss to be able to keep paying his employees or to pay more taxes?  What? You’d rather keep your job?  Cool… Then shut the hell up.

Local Book Signings coming up!

9 Comments

Saturday the 25th from 11:00-1:00 I’ll be at the Jordan Landing Barnes & Noble in West Jordan.  There will also be a ton of other writers there too, like Dave Farland, Tracy Hickman, John Brown, Eric Stone, Brad Torgersen, Jaleta Clegg, and I’m probably forgetting somebody.

Then we are going over to the Borders at State & 215 just south of mall from 2:00-4:00. 

Even though this is a few days before the official release, I should have copies of MHV there to sell and sign.

Then on Thursday September 30th, come and see me at UVU for their annual Book Academy. This is an event open to anybody who wants to be a writer, and there will be a bunch of us doing workshops and classes. I’ll be teaching one about writing action sequences. (go figure…) And I’ll be doing a book signing at the UVU student bookstore.

Then on Saturday Oct 2nd, I’ll be doing a book signing at the Layton B&N.  From 12:00 to pretty much whenever I get tired or run out of books.  Everything I’ve done at this particular B&N has tended to go on extra long because of people showing up to visit. This is my home B&N. So come on by and say high.
