Well, writers and writettes, it's finally here!
101 Writing Prompts for Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers has hit the (virtual) shelves. I'm feeling pretty good, and though it's only been a day, I've been getting some sweet feedback already. Here's hoping some people hit the book's Amazon page and write reviews (I'm looking at you, kid).
Putting this book together took about three months all together, from researching prompts to hiring an illustrator for the cover art, and then uploading everything to Amazon. The best tool I had for writing the prompts were people in writing groups. I got exciting feedback from their responses, and I had the benefit of writing for them, which was so helpful. I owe them a debt of gratitude.
Self-publishing may not be right for every kind of book, but it seems the perfect format for a book like this. It allows me to put a book out there that doesn't bust the banks of notoriously broke writers, and I can format them according to my own plan.
Just to give you a peek at what's inside, here's a prompt from the book. If you like what you read, head to Amazon and get your copy. At $.99, it's pretty much a bargain.

For a
science project, a sixth grade boy designs a car that can run on water. He
comes home with a first place ribbon from the science fair to find his parents
missing and two men in dark suits and sunglasses sitting in his living room.

And here's the cover in all it's glory:
