There are now PDF versions of Let’s All Find Awesome Jobs, The Location Scout, and Touch Anything Except Me for sale in the store. I don’t know. We’ll see. There was a whole debate about this. Kevin has Opinions, which he’ll probably unpack on his own site. Anyways there was a bunch of shouting, oaths were sworn, we need to buy a new Ikea bookshelf, and this is the...

One of the people at the Harvard Square post office noted the logo on our outgoing packages and suggested we change our name from “Cold God Press” to “Hot Off the God Press”. I actually kind of love it?

The Kindle version of Let’s All Find Awesome Jobs is now a thing that exists on the Amazon.com website.

Working on the new version of kevinfanning.com. It’s weird how certain activities balance “stressful/annoying” with “super boring.”
After this comes the Kindle version of LAFAJ. And then PDF versions of older books that have fallen out of print. And then I have to figure out what an EPUB is, and whether his books need to be in that format as well. This is necessary...

Apparently Josh Allen, the alt.sex.twitter guy, reads this site. He saw the cover we posted yesterday and sent Kevin an email about it. Kevin spent the rest of the afternoon huddled in the corner, mumbling something over and over about...
Hello. This is Diego, the Cold God Press intern. Kevin asked me to write here to tell everyone to please ignore the previous post because the cover image of our next book, Let’s All Find Awesome Jobs, has changed.
I told him that post happened however many weeks ago and no one remembers/gives a shit. Plus it hasn’t even really changed, we just made the fonts bigger.
He claimed this...

People on the mailing list just received word of the secret pre-order sale page for JLHXI. Imagine them right now, all over the world, gently stirring from...
