Graygrey and other quandaries…

Feb 23, 2012 No Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

In this fascinating and wondrous digital age of ours, sometimes things get overlooked. And it's easy to point fingers and lay blame, saying so-and-so should've done this, etc, etc, etc. Processes fail, people make mistakes and life goes on, somehow. In publishing in particular, a shrug and a quick "What can you do?" is about ...

The Lightbringers

Dec 17, 2011 No Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

The New United States in 2074 is a superficially utopian society that dictates positive thinking.  Privately, millions of people struggle to hide their inability to "think perfectly." A desperate nobody, Gaylen Andrews, finally visits the nation's secret underground of depravity in hopes of finding a cure for his mental torment.  He is caught up in a ...

Why I Hate DRM and Love Louis C.K.

Dec 15, 2011 No Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

From Wikipedia: Digital rights management (DRM) is a class of access control technologies that are used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals with the intent to limit the use of digital content and devices after sale. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have to love the jackassery inherent in the statement above. The key point of it all is "...after sale." That's right, I go and ...

Innovation in a Changing Industry – The Advance Reader Program

Dec 7, 2011 No Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

Since I started Grey Gecko Press, my vision for the company has been one of innovation, 'new' thinking, and turning ideas on their head to see what shakes loose. I loathe the very idea of the phrase "Well, that's how we've always done it." The idea behind that phrase presupposes that just because you've always ...

August / September Sales

Oct 5, 2011 7 Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

I know it's been awhile since I've updated with my current sales data; life as an actual-factual author has become more complicated than I expected. I'm promoting the book, working on getting Grey Gecko up and running, working my day job and somehow trying to find time for some semblance of a life and maybe, ...

Leo King

Sep 4, 2011 No Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Leo King has always had a taste for the gothic side of life, from the tragic romances to the cast-iron tracery to horrors lingering in the shadows. Growing up, Leo enjoyed ghost stories, murder mysteries, and black humor. This first love of "all things dark" did not abate even as ...

Whatever Happened to Thomas J. Reynolds?

Sep 2, 2011 1 Comment ›› Grey Gecko Press

Many of the people who’ve read The Dying of the Light: End have asked me this question. I deliberately left Tom’s fate somewhat uncertain in the book, because he had a longer and more detailed story to tell than I felt could reasonably be included in the novel. This led me to the idea of writing several ...

Lee Lackey

Aug 14, 2011 No Comments ›› Grey Gecko Press

Lee Lackey has written short stories since he was an angst-filled teenager.  Since then, he's grown up enough to enjoy the madness of the world, rather than railing against it. To hide from the crazy, he enjoys martial arts and swing dancing.  Some say they are lovers, not fighters.  He claims to be both. Currently, Lee is ...
