In case anyone here does not yet know, Ken and I have bowed down. We're now on Facebook as "Pearce Story". Apparently, and I've tried hard -- well, I've tried as hard as I usually do with things like this, Facebook rejects the "&" and "and" usage as middle names or in first or last names. So we can't be "Pearce & Story", like we really are. We have to be Pearce Story, whoever that person is (also, if your name is Pearce Story, a thousand apologies). Phooey.

Anyway, if you're not already a Facebook friend and would like to be, "friend us". (Is that the cool way to say it?). I mean, we're really, really good at it. It's almost like our blogging. Here's a list of the fringe benefits we offer:

• Between zero and few photos


• Inane "experiences" we share with Facebook friends


• Probably not many mutual friends


• $50 "friendship fee" that Ken will mail to you personally so that we don't look like total losers... only partial - because that's important to us

For those of you who have not received your fee, please let Ken know in the comments. We'll get it right to you. The postal system these days...

[Pearce & Story not responsible as a writing partnership, or individually, for the non-payment of friendship fees as stated in the above.]

Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave

The new Dorkman website is up!!! You can find it at http://www.dorkmancometh.com/.

Let me know what you think, but be gentle.

You know how your arrows wound me.

A link to a new Dorkman-centered blog and message board can also be found there. As well as an email address for us.

A Pearce & Story writing website is also in the works.

Our intent is to migrate discussion on those topics to the appropriate web space so as not to overwhelm the Realm with nothing but P&S, P&S, P&S. Or else some of you will start to get P&S'ed.

Stop by our other sites and by all means INVITE YOUR FRIENDS.

Thanks for bearing with us in this busy time and look for some new general interest topics and maybe some guest posters here in the Realm.

Peace to all Realm dwellers.

Books?? Festival?? We're there!!

This Labor Day weekend (1-3 September) Rich and I will be in Atlanta for the inaugural AJC Decatur Book Festival.

There will be food and beverages, live music, cooking demonstrations, fireworks... oh yeah, and books. But obviously best of all real live authors... like us!!

I know it makes you all goose pimply just thinking about it.

But hey, Dorkman will be hot off the presses, and we'll have some give-aways, too.

So, if you're in the Atlanta area (and if you're not, c'mon it's Labor weekend for crying out loud-- make special arrangements) drop by the OnStage Publishing booth to see us.

Check out the link above for more details and directions.

Tell Your Friends and Family and See You There!!

The Dorkman Cometh

Just a few more days until our novel, Dorkman, is released by OnStage Publishing. Stay tuned for more information and the address for the new Dorkman website!!

Here's a sneak peek at the cover art and the back-of-the-book blurb:


The last thing Cole Erickson needs right now is a distraction.

Improving his swing before baseball season and steeling his nerve to talk to the ravishing Ashley Knutson are all that matters. Unfortunately, he’s just made the cataclysmic mistake of speaking to a stranger-than-strange kid that everyone at Jackson Middle School calls:

Dorkman.

Spawned from a naturalistic humanitarian mother, Gordon "Dorkman" Dorfmueller lives in a bug- and cat-infested house, dresses like something a thrift store vomited, and acts like he just arrived from one of the comic book worlds he spends all of his time drawing. As far as Cole is concerned, Dorkman is a complete waste of space.

But Dorkman begins to follow him everywhere: his classes... home... even the bathroom in his quest to become Cole’s new best friend. Nothing seems to stop him. And Cole fears that his popularity and his chances with Ashley have just been flushed. Things couldn’t be worse.

That is, until Cole’s friends decide to take matters into their own hands and subject Dorkman to a series of escalating pranks that ultimately humiliate Gordon and change Cole's life forever.

Beware! The Dorkman cometh!

Hiya, Guys

[Cue the theme from The Jeffersons]

Exciting News!!

Looks like Pearce & Story's young adult novel, Dorkman, will be published in the not too distant future.

To celebrate, we intend to declare a holiday here in The Realm of Possibility on the day it hits bookstores. There'll be music, games, streamers, and maybe even a little dance, dance revolution.

Stay tuned for more details, and don't worry, we'll make sure to let you know how you can secure your very own copy!!!
