We Are A Domain

Sometimes you have to step your game up a notch.

2012 is well under way, and there's things I want to do; I have a book to write, representation to find, a million copies to sell, and a reputation to forge.

Yes, despite my Fractal Slacker mindset, I remain a man of Ambition.

The first step towards Legendary Author status is to solidify my online presence.

So, as Mrs. Thatcher almost once said, We are a Domain.

Indigo Roth's emperor's new domainThere it is, look! At the top of your browser, in the address bar!

Yep, you've been redirected from the old Blogspot sub-domain.

Mark the date in the diary, and ready some grandkids; you'll want to tell them.

*stands proud in a magnificent suit and necktie*

Okay, that's quite enough of that. But while I'm bigging myself up, I'm delighted to report that my second published tale is finally available:

Indigo Roth's Short Sips Coffee House CollectionThanks to Jessica Weiss over at Wicked East Press for accepting my story into this anthology, despite it breaking most of their publication guidelines. It's an early tale - a rather revealing one in fact - and one of my favourites. You can find it on Amazon USA, Amazon UK and Barnes&Noble.

I won't see a penny for it, not even a free copy, but I'm happy to be out there.

So, the future in under way. Thanks for helping me get there.

This blatant self promotion was brought to you by the letter 'I'.

Twenty From Seventy

Picture the scene on a quiet Easter Sunday.

Good afternoon, Dominique's Pizza! Zoe speaking!

Hi Zoe. Can I order some pizza for delivery, please?

Yessir, but delivery is taking an hour and ten right now.

Thanks for the head's up, that's fine. Let's order.

Righto. What can I get you?

Oh, I'd like a medium Meaty Monster please.

Indigo Roth's Mighty MeatyWith extra sauce and olives, hold the onions?

Hey, good guess!

Not at all, I remembered when I saw your address pop up.

Well, that's damned efficient of you!

Isn't technology grand? Can I get you anything else?

Yep, I need a bottle of Diet Croak too, please.

Done. Hey, we've not seen you in a while, have we?

That's right, I've been celebrating Lent.

Really? We're your favourite treat? That's cool.

You got me. Seven weeks, it's been tough.

Congratulations! And yes, your last order was February.

I tell you, it feels like longer. What do I owe you?

Well, fifteen for the pizza...

Okay.

...but the Croak and some garlic bread is on the house.

That's bloody decent of you, Zoe. Thanks very much. 

Our pleasure. And I'll get it to you as soon as it's done.

I don't know what to say. Again, thank you.

Not at all, Sir. Welcome back, Mr. Roth.

It's nice to be remembered, and worth double to be missed.

They got it here in twenty.
