Of Blood & Ink - Published, Distributed + DA

Fri Mar 20, 2009, 10:08 AM
Hey guys. So its been a little while, again, I am afraid.

A little update to me, I am in Iraq, but shortly I am returning back to Hawaii, where I will get out of the Marine Corps in December, and return back home to Oregon.

I first started the publication for "Of Blood & Ink" back in September of 2007. That went well, until I went home and my marriage ate shit. And, I pretty well let OBAI eat shit too.

But the good news! I deployed again in September of 2008, where I re focused on OBAI, and I worked my ass off and got it published on my 22nd birthday, Dec 27, 2008, officially, no shit, distributed, published, with LuLu.com.

The fun news is its all over the place, Amazon, Barnes and Nobile, all kinds of mom and pop web sites, including my own!

Advertising for it has started with Yahoo, Google, and as childish as this may seem, MySpace, and soon I hope to be on board with DA as well. I have created a new user ID, OfBloodandInk - it will NOT replace this one, how ever I will actually get back into the DA realm again. I like this place.

The best part of all of this is that I OWN my book in every way possible,and there are no limiting contracts. Thus meaning, even tough a good portion of the poetry published in OBAI (regardless of what state in which it was published - edits or not), I don't have to remove a goddamn thing from this web site - because I said so. :)

So look for me around. This is a fucking hay day trying to organize all of this stuff, but I'm excited to jump back into the DA world. Have fun guys, I hope to re establish contact with some of you. And maybe meet some more people! Life is funny like that.

P.S.
My author name is Trenton Phoenix, and for all intents and purposes I go by Trenton in all of my endeavors with the book, but, Draven still sticks :).
