Herringwood Messiah is out now! Buy it here. For my Dutch “Helenists”: buy it here. A lot of you chose to buy the first book directly from me, and I appreciate that. That way, I get the biggest cut. But it’s not viable strategy in the long term, so while I will sell direct again …
Book number two, now known as Herringwood Messiah, is in the last leg of its journey. I’m now at the point where I have to leave everything to mega corporations who really don’t give a shit and just wanna make a buck off my work. Joke’s on them, I guess.I’ve got to wait for proof …
It’s about time for an update, isn’t it?Those of you I talk to regularly are vaguely aware of what’s going on with my writing “career,” but that one person in England who accidentally bought a book might still be curious. So this is for you, one person in England! I was actually quite close to …
About a year ago, give or take a few days, my book came out. Or rather, I put it out myself and then yelled at everybody within earshot it was available. And a lot of you listened! Some bought the book because they needed a reliable door stopper, others because I emotionally blackmailed them, and …
Now available! The Bakkerbaard-method for learning Dutch! Easy! Quick! Cheap! The key to learning is to make it entertaining. That’s why you remember more Star Wars quotes than maths. To that end, I have compiled an educational package that focuses on entertaining you, instead of beating dry theory into your skull.With the Bakkerbaard-method, you can …
Guess who’s got the covid! Yeah, my number was up, apparently.Strange how you never hear anyone about how it turned the lower half of their face into Freddy Krueger. But hey, at least I still have my sense of taste.Anyway, it’s not all bad news. Unless you’re one of the coworkers that has to cover …
Nope, sorry. This has nothing to do with the music project I talked about in the previous post. Just forget about that. Pretend I never said anything. Don’t make me wave my Jedi-hand, goddammit. I will do it. You don’t wanna get Jedi-pimp slapped. I’m not that good yet and I might erase the names …
You thought I was dead, didn’t you? No? Aw.I can’t wait to get famous enough for people to start thinking I’ve died. That’s how you know you’ve made it. Someone, somewhere, suddenly rubbing their chin and going, “Hey, didn’t he die at some point?”They’ll google me, click their way here, and BAM! Still alive, and …
The book’s been out for almost a month now and it did pretty well. Relatively speaking, anyway. I haven’t seen any numbers from official sales channels, and I don’t expect to see a number very much higher than zero in the near future, but personally I was pleasantly surprised. I expected to make, like, ten sympathy-sales, …
Well, ain’t that a bitch. You spend all your videogame time on writing a book, pump a bunch of money into all kinds of professional sounding stuff, get a good looking cover done, and then you try to get your stuff published.Now, I’m not so delusional that I’m walking up to an established publisher and …
