  Click here to download FRIDAY FIX: "How do I get an 'A'?" Your friendly neighborhood FDØ here, Junkies. If there's one question ARealGirl and I get at every con, it's "how do I get an 'A'?" In case you don't know A Kovacs, she's the human superpower that keeps the Dark Øverlord machine going. While I toil at the keyboard and the mic creating stories, she's the person making sure we have a schedule, managing the book-design and book-printing process, managing our contractors, managing inventory of our books and making sure the books get to you, managing our files in the Kindle and eBook stores, etc., on and on, and so on and so on, in perpetuity, amen.  People see what we have, see how Kovacs enables me to make more and better stuff, and they say the magic words: "How do I get an 'A'?" We recorded this episode to answer that question. The short answer? It ain't cheap, it ain't easy, and it ain't free. Most people don't understand that A doesn't "work for me," we are a partnership. We tell you how our business came to be, what our roles are, and how creatives can find someone like her. PS: You can't have my "A." Do not attempt to steal her away. You will fail.  Author's Note: I'm posting this while watching the news of the Sandy Hook massacre in Connecticut. Our heart goes out to anyone and everyone affected by this tragedy. We don't do much in the way of political or current-events blogging on this site, but doing something as normal as posting our weekly content seems somehow disrespectful at a time like this. Events of this nature remind me to say "thank you" to the people who make life worth living, so it seems an ideal time to say "thank you" to A Kovacs, a.k.a. the Director of Døøm, a.k.a. ARealGirl. Junkies, if you've got kids, give them a hug from the FDØ and from A. -Scott- These advertisers keep your podcast free: Our Petco code is the magic sauce to save money while spoiling your family pet. • If you're in business, you have to check out our Stamps code and our 4Inkjets code, both of which save you big money on the things you need for your small-, medium-, or enterprise-size business.  • Who will be the SuperBowl champ this year?

My buddy A.J. Colucci wrote this kick-ass horror/thriller called THE COLONY. I've been blabbing about it on the Twitters and the Facebooks for awhile now, and the book came out Tuesday. I've never met A.J. in person. I only know her through this novel, which my agent, Byrd Leavell, asked me to blurb. I fell in love with the book, probably because it has a similar structure to my stuff, and you all already know what narcissist I am. I also saw a couple of things in the book that needed tweaks. Plot-structure stuff, mostly, because her science was spot-on. Stuff that it's crazy-easy for an author to miss when he or she is heads-down for years, looking at each word and sometimes missing the bigger picture.  For my work, A Kovacs catches these problems in second-draft form (as does Big John Vizcarra, Jeremy Ellis, Joe Albietz, Tom Merritt, J.P. Harvey, Chris Grall and more). Trust me, when you are writting a novel-length thriller, where hundreds of plot threads have to line up in a "real world" fashion, it's very easy to miss a thing or two.  A.J. impressed me because she was very excited to get this feedback. Some authors will get their feathers ruffled and be offended. In my opinion, these authors are more worried about themselves than the reader. Not, A.J., though -- as we went back and forth, I heard over and over again phrases akin to "oh, that would have so annoyed the reader." She is out to create the best product possible, because she wants people to get their money's worth. You need to understand that when I received THE COLONY to review, it was basically finished. A.J. had to work hard to make final changes, because publishers do not like changes at that point. She also worked with Chris Grall, who does some of my military and weapons consulting, to smooth out some issues with guns (yeah, just like me, A.J. lives at the range and knows everything about firearms ... it's just what we writers do).  I was pretty impressed with how A.J. doubled-down to fix these small issues and make the best story possible. On top of that, it's a kick-ass book. If you liked my novella EUSOCIAL NETWORKING, you will eat this one up with a spork. So in A.J., I think I found a kindred spirit: an author who cares about you the reader first, and everything else second. That's why I consider her a buddy, even though we've never met in person. That, and she send me a bottle of Macallan's as a lil' thank-you gift. I'm easily swayed by the single malt.  AMAZON BANS REVIEW! I did the video above as an Amazon review, so it would appear on the page for THE COLONY. Guess what we found out? Amazon bans book reviews by other authors! I'm not the first to discover this; the awesome Joe Konrath blogged about it here.  Konrath (pictured at right) is far more active in prosthelytizing the indie eBook world than I, and also knows more about the publishing biz. If you're curious why Amazon would ban authors -- people who might know a thing or two about what makes a book "good" -- than read his post. He kind of sums it up here: The fact that a binder can get a thousand fake reviews because of Romney's comment, but I can't honestly review one of my peers because I'm an author, is a bit silly, don't you think? Amazon allows 1 star reviews from people who haven't even read the book, but deletes positive reviews from people who honestly enjoyed it, and somehow that's improving your review system? That's some of the frustration I feel as an author. I do have a parade of douchebags, people who haven't actually read the book, giving me bad reviews because of some political statement I made, or because they don't like my slightly over-the-top, bloated-ego-boasting on the podcast (keep in mind, I also get plenty of one-star reviews from people who did read it, and just think I suck, which is fine), or people giving me one-star reviews because they didnt like the eBook formatting, or even people giving me one-star reviews because they don't l
