Aftermath of a Book Launch (a couple interviews, some reviews, and a totally not sleazy sales pitch)
First off, despite wearing quite the stylish poncho, my hands are freezing. Which simply means that what follows is likely to be a minefield of typos. For those sensitive souls out there unable to so much as look at misplaced apostrophe without losing their minds, don’t say you weren’t warned. To the meat: It’s been…
Read MoreLaunching Your Indie Publishing Career in 5 (not always so) Simple Steps
Launching Your Indie Publishing Career in 5 Steps I’ve been in the Indie publishing game for nearly five years now and I’ve consumed a vast amount of information on the topic. There are very few books, podcasts, interviews, and/or blog posts on the topic of indie publishing as a craft, industry, and way of life…
Read MoreTop 7 Short Stories of 2015
So some of you may or may not already know that earlier this month it was announced I’d be joining The Leighgendarium to write one or two Indie oriented reviews per month. Well, yesterday I decided to start it off with a bang and do a “Top-7 short stories of 2015” list. If you’re into…

THE READING EXPERIENCE BLOG REVIEWS MY ENTIRE STARTER LIBRARY AND THEN SOME! Reviews are like mana to a writer. We live alone on a creaky boat of self-doubt, floating in a sea frothing with uncertainty, lingering fears of inadequacy, and crippling carpal tunnel. Not to mention our copilot, the good for nothing internal editor, keeps whispering…

Aw, how cute. Somebody just carpet bombed all my books on Goodreads with 1 star ratings. An effective strategy for… For what exactly? See, what I can’t figure out is, if you thought the first book was 1 star worthy, why read the next one? And if you thought that one was 1 star worthy as…
Read MoreGirls Rule and Boys Drool…for now!
Whew, the last couple days have been busy, busy, busy. I finished up the first draft of the novella I’m tentatively calling Nemesis and now I’m about elbows deep in the second draft. Coupled on top of that are the ongoing edits and redrafts of Infinity Lost and Mind Breach (books 1.5 and 2 in the…

I apologize, the last few posts have been shamelessly plugging my own book, but I promise, that’s behind us….for now. Let’s get back to the basics and review a couple books I read last week. But wait, hold up, before we do, I’ve got a little proposition for you. So, uh… why don’t you shuffle…

I took a short morning break from working on Mind Breach to churn out a little vignette for you guys. It’s short, and rough (no proofreading or spell-check for this guy!), but I thought I’d share it to give an inside look into my first-draft process. First drafts aren’t always coherent, and rarely any good,…

It’s coming a day late, but I have a feeling you’ll forgive me… right? *ominously waves a pair of children’s scissors* And yes, that’s a threat. Forgive me my tardiness, or else! Oh, really? Just like that? Well, thank you. I didn’t expect that to be so easy. You’re very agreeable. *ominously puts pair of…
Read MoreJupiter Ascending!
Yep, it’s here. I’ve been looking forward to this for awhile, and now that it’s here I’m doing a bit of a pee-pee dance of excitement. The Wachowski’s haven’t done much since The Matrix that has really hit home with me, but I’m looking forward to Jupiter Ascending for one reason alone: *checks notes* I…
