Later this month, I'm going to self-publish three m/m novels under the pen name Alex Gabriel. Two of the novels may look familiar to you, though they've been thoroughly overhauled; they're "Learning How to Lose" and "First Contact". One is brand spanking new, and is called "Love for the Cold-Blooded, or: The Evil Minion's Guide to Accidentally Dating a Superhero".
I am ridiculously excited, and somewhat terrified.
My website's here, if you're interested. I'm planning to post there about topics loosely related to writing and reading. If that sounds like it might be your thing, please swing by! I'd love to see you there. (Also, if you do drop by, please tell me what you think. I'd very much appreciate a heads-up on anything you feel could be improved. This includes the book blurbs.*)
I'm also on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr as Alex Gabriel; the links are all on the website. I haven't really had time to do much of anything there, though, including find anyone. Not to mention that I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to the care and feeding of Facebook... but if you're hanging out thereabouts too, I'd love to meet up. :-)
* Full disclosure: Blurbs are the invention of the devil. Or perhaps a demon who didn't so much fall as saunter vaguely downwards.

Du kannst nichts "falsch" machen, weil es - mal abgesehen von Formalia - kein "Richtig" beim Schreiben gibt. Es lässt dich zudem recht unsicher wirken, was den Glauben an dich selbst betrifft, und fordert die Leser geradezu auf, sich in Korinthenkacker zu verwandeln. Aber das ist nur mein Empfinden, wenn ich diesen Satz lese.
Ich drücke jedenfalls die Daumen, dass sich die Dinge nach deinen Vorstellungen entwickeln!

Gabriel allerdings ist der Nachname meiner Urgroßmutter, und damit eindeutig nicht eindeutig. ;-)
Danke für den Hinweis, ich werde den Satz einfach löschen - er ist nicht unbedingt erforderlich, und unsicher möchte ich natürlich nicht wirken.
:-) Danke, das hoffe ich auch! Wobei ich nicht einmal sagen könnte, was meine Vorstellungen sind. Wir werden sehen...
