Welcome to Summerween! I’m really pleased to announce a project that Brigid and I have been working on for some time now: Halloween Hearts. We’ll be releasing it first on Kickstarter, starting September 1st, with the goal of getting it into backer’s hands in time to sit on the porch and do some great reading […]

I spend a lot of time watching the business world surrounding Independent Publishing. This won’t surprise anyone who knows me. I’m a moderately analytical person, and I’m a pure case of an independently published writer—meaning there’s no one here but me. For many of us, the most important word in the phrase Independent Publishing is […]

(or, how do you become great?) A few days ago, the Las Vegas Aces played the Seattle Storm in a WNBA matchup. The Aces won, which was good for me because, if you’ve followed me much, you know I’ve become a big fan of the W and the Aces in particular. I was lucky enough […]

(Or, It’s Time to Change the Plan(ning Method!)) As is my lot in life, I have once again realized that I’m chasing too many projects at once. How does this happen? Yes, that’s a rhetorical question. All I can say is that this summer is going to be super active, and I’ll need to find […]

I came across M. H. Woodscourt’s book Song of the Lost on Kickstarter because, as I was scanning the site, I noticed the portal on the book cover. This caught my eye because, as readers of the PEBA Diaries will know, in that series, I play with a baseball shaman and multiple dimensions. As one […]

I’m getting excited again. Working a ton of hours on little details and sweating bullets because I can never quite get things exactly like I want them. So … yeah … you’ve got it down. It all adds up to mean that I’m pushing work on a new Kickstarter that will feature For the Heart […]

(And, Um, Thank the Powers I’m an Indie?) Anyway…on with the post! Sometimes life is a real jokester. This wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t celebrate the fact by laughing maniacally at you as it whizzes past on its way right-on down the road. I can say this because it was about this time […]

A Quick Note: Yeah, I’m still working to hit a normal cycle for these thoughts. I missed the last one on purpose, though. I was heads-down and plowing hard to hit a deadline for a book that I’ll be talking about Real Soon Now. In the meantime, here are some thoughts I’m having this morning. […]

I’ve been writing a lot about the act of coming out of a funk. My book On Being (And Becoming Again!) A Writer was all about that, and if you’re in my sphere, you’d probably have to be living under a rock to have not heard me say something about it. I mean. I may […]

I’m going to talk about readers today. I promise I am. But first… It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the WNBA. One can debate and disagree, of course, but for my taste, when it comes to basketball, the women’s game is just a better product. I don’t mean the players are faster, stronger, […]
