Raine song & winners of CafePress t-shirt contest
I got one of the coolest fan presents ever and have been dying to share it with you all. Abner Senires (AceTachyon online) wrote (and sings) a song for Raine! You simply have to hear this -- it is PRICELESS! Thank you, Ace! You rock!
And the winners of the CafePress t-shirt contest are (drum roll) Triffid Breeder and Pissenlit! Wooo! Ladies, I need you to email me your mailing addresses and I'll get some prizes in the mail to you.
I went with nine winning slogans instead of the five or so that I'd planned on. They had so many votes that I just had to go with nine. And the winning slogans that you'll be seeing soon on a t-shirt near you are:
That's not silence, it's reloading.
I'm not a pirate. I'm a seafaring businessman.
No, I don't feel manipulated by evil forces. Why do you ask?
Diplomacy [di-ploh-muh-see] - noun. Putting cannon shot across someone's bow rather than through their waterline.
Whoever said ignorance is bliss must have died a horrible death with a really surprised look on his face.
I have an eye for the finer things in life -- like hot elves and sexy goblins.
My preferred method of theft involves a ship, 40 cannons, and an overenthusiastic crew.
Sarcasm may not help, but it won't hurt.
I stormed the Gates of Hell and all I got was this t-shirt.
I gave the winning slogans to my designer late last week so she could ponder design brilliance over the weekend. I'll be taking her to lunch this week to discuss her ideas. These are gonna be great!
And finally, here are some pics from the fireworks show at David & Jo Drake's house on Saturday night. Mark Van Name had a few great posts on it, and Paul Cory (whom Derek & I met and chatted with over burgers) took some spectacular photographs.
For tomorrow, the August issue of The Writer magazine is out that features my first column for them. I'll be doing a column called "Dueling With Words" on fiction writing topics in every other issue. Tomorrow I'll post some page photos.

That song is just perfect!!!
Congratulations Triffid Breeder and Pissenlit! Great slogans.
Hahaha, I love the song! I pronounce Benares differently though :/ Whoops.
Congrats to the winners!
Thank you, Suzana & Jo!
Congratulations! Haven't listened to the song (yet), and I'm glad some of my favourites got through. Eager to see the designs when they're ready.
The song is hilarious. Especially the 'buy it!' part.
One question: Will the slogans only be available on t-shirt or could I get them also imprinted on other things, like, say, a mousepad?
Thank you, Yunaleska!
Tanja,
I'll be having the designs done to fit on t-shirts, however, those same designs work on other items like totebags, mousepads, etc. So I'll be making more items than just t-shirts.
I love the reloading line. Gonna have to get that one.
I'm glad folks are enjoying the song. It was loads of fun to write and record.
Thank you, Lisa, for sharing it with my fellow Raine fans.
Thank you, Ace, for writing it! It puts a big grin on my face every time I listen to it. I simply love it!
interesting, sounds very, "I'm rowing in a gondola in Italy"- ish.
Love the winners! And that song is awesome!
