Update on the Revolution--Week 2

This week was a slow week. I started a grad class and that changed my writing schedule which ruined my flow. I'm hoping to make up for it in the next week so I have some bigger progress to post.  I did edit about half of "Hippocampus" (2nd to last edit) this week as well so I did make progress on the series (just not writing).   Currently Writing: Echinodea (Book Two of the Atlantis Revolution)--started in June 2011 Chapters Completed: 6  1/4 (1/4 chapter written this week) Total Word Count at the Moment: 18,225 words (average...

Just for fun...

I discovered xtranormal.com while taking my current grad class. I'm going to use it for my science classes this year but I thought I'd practice, and have a little fun, using one of the characters from my books. I hope you enjoy. And just a disclaimer: Xtranormal does not in any way endorse me or my books. This was just a fun project to practice with their softwa...

My Writing Playlist

People are curious about an author's playlist (the music they write to). I know I always want to find out what other authors use when they write. I only write to soundtrack music. I really like the soundtracks to The Chronicles of Narnia movies, The Dark Knight, and Avatar. In addition, I use trailer music when writing as well. Groups like Audiomachine and Two Steps To Hell create perfect music to get my ideas flowing. I am putting together a playlist of my writing music on Youtube (it's no where near complete but I'll continue to update)...

Issuse with Site Drop Down Menu and Twitter Box

It has come to my attention that the drop down menu at the top of the page is not working properly for some people. I believe this has something to do with Internet Explorer. I'm working to figure out a solution. In the meantime, if you have the option, use Firefox or Safari (since the menu seems to function properly on those browsers). I'm also looking into an issue with the Twitter Followers Box not displaying any more. It was working as of this morning but now is not functioning properly (on any of the browsers I tried). I'm looking...

The redesign of Tom Tancin.com is now live. While some improvements will be made over the next few weeks, this is the basic design of the new site.

Hunger Games Movie

Definitely one of (if not my absolute) favorite book series, The Hunger Games Trilogy, is being adapted for film.  Hopefully they do the books justice.  I'm impressed with the majority of the casting for the movie and I'm glad that Suzanne Collins was a crucial piece to the screen writing process.  So they have two things going for them in my mind.  And today they released the animated movie poster and countdown widget.  Now they have 4 things going for them!  Check it out at www.thehungergamesmovie....

Help Me Brand the Revolution

When I decided to re-enter the publishing world (after a 2 year hiatus), I came to terms with the fact that I was heading right back into branding myself and my books.  Creating a brand is something I did back in 2006-2008 when I self-published the Lindsey Scott Thrillsteries.  I spent countless hours learning how to create a brand and then designed my websites, t-shirts, book covers, ads, bookmarks, book lights, give-aways, posters, and banners---yes, I did all of that by myself (I was, and still am, a one man show).  So here I...
