Blue Spirit by Eric Garrison

Coming soon to this space… a conversation between Skye, the main character of my Blue Spirit, and Blue from RJ Sullivan’s Haunting Blue!  This came about because RJ and I noticed a lot of eerie similarities between our novels, both released around the same time.  The main characters had enough in common (having lived in Broad Ripple at the same time, having paranormal experiences, and more) that we thought they should sit down and have a chat over coffee.

The girls’ chat will be posted in two parts, and will include striking artwork to go along with it!

It’s been fun to work with RJ on this, and has even helped me flesh out more of the plot of Mean Things … the novel I’ve been trying to get a start on which also stars Skye.

RJ and I have been working with Nell Williams, who has done some amazing CGI artwork to depict Skye and Blue.  It’s incredible getting to see my character, and not just in my head!  She’s done a beautiful job, and I can’t wait to share the imaged of Skye with everyone.

I’ll let you know when it’s posted!

My new home on the web!

Posted on 2011/06/15 by ecgarrison

Okay, so I’ve resisted having a separate web presence as an author. Until now. I think I resisted because I already have a presence so many different places… Livejournal was first, poor dead Myspace came next, then Facebook and Twitter. Not to mention Yahoo and Google profiles, Flickr, and probably others I’ve forgotten.

I’ve also had my own domain and website, homebrew.net, going back to 1997.

So why something new, and why WordPress?

I’ve played with WordPress before, as the blog for a website I managed for a few years. It’s flexible and professional-looking. Livejournal’s okay, but I wanted someplace with more signal and less noise for my author website. Since this is my first actual post, it still echoes here, but you have to start somewhere!  Once I get into the swing of things, this site should get prettier and have more interesting content.

Also until now, I was able to get away with pointing people at my author page on Lulu, but recently I’ve had some short stories accepted for publication.  My world as an author is expanding, and I realized that I need a place to put it all together.

This is the place.  I’m really happy with the editing and customizing tools here so far.  I’ll try to make things interesting!
