The purpose of this blog is to have a “social” presence, and ultimately attract people to my stories, in the hopes that they might eventually drop a buck or two and read some. I started out ambitiously, thinking I would put up seven posts per week, but regained SOME sanity and reduced it to just … Continue reading

Writing Wednesday: What Do They Know?
Goals marched onwards last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market as able. My next release date is in two days, and “Cellfishness” is already staged as a preorder, and FREE on Smashwords with a coupon (see below.) I commented on others’ blogs, albeit sparingly (I still haven’t seen any attempts to comment … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Making It Last

Meandering Monday about Detailing it to Death

The first time through I read every word, but later I skimmed the long passages that described how it was raining, or cold, or the woods were magical, or some other detail, to get back to the meat of the plot. … Continue reading
Fun Friday: In Search of a Frying Pan of Doom
One of the greatest things about the internet is how it makes it possible to find ANYTHING you are looking for (if only I could figure out how to get people to look for my books… sorry about that self-serving digression.) Whether you want to rediscover toys from your childhood, or find special tools or … Continue reading
