First of all, thanks to everyone who's been leaving comments here helping me regarding the job market. Your advice has been most appreciated.
Given that a couple of online buddies of mine (can't really say that I can call them friends since we don't converse that much) are about to release new books, I figured I should give them a little free advertising here, especially since I'm about to beg both of them to help me with the whole "finding day jobs for writers" thing.
First, Bonnie Burton is about to release her second book, You Can Draw Star Wars. If you've been following Bonnie's LiveJournal then you've been keeping up with all the tremendous columns she's been writing at starwars.com including some basic art tutorials, and I'm sure this how-to guide will not only be a breeze to use, but also contain an abundance of Bonnie's trademark wit.
Second, Ariel Meadow Stallings just released her first book, Offbeat Bride: Tafetta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides, a combination memoir of her marriage to her longtime beau Andreas and a guide for people who want to have marriages that go well against the grain of what's considered traditional here in Western culture. You could buy a copy from Amazon or your local bookseller, but if you're really cool like me then you'll buy an autographed copy directly from the author herself. (Seriously, Ariel just got laid off from her day job, and the autographed copies make her more money, so try to buy an autographed copy if you can.)
