A Novel That Was Actually a Short Story: King’s Sacrifice

I’ve had this story in the works for over a year. I knew how it fit into the overall narrative, with its characters and locales featured in Pink Ballerina and Beisbol Libre. I loved it, too, because it incorporates one of my adolescent loves: Chess, baby! But I thought it was a novel. And it […]

Do We Devalue Books When We Give Them Away?

A while back, I wrote that I give away some of my books because I want you to read them. Since then, many have picked up my books, both through online retailers and here, through my Reader’s Club. A great deal of these folks have gone on to enjoy my other titles. Before I go […]

#VoTMNews: Coming To A Blog Not So Near You

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve followed a blogging plan that shares essays on various topics on Mondays, news about my writing on Thursdays, and writing samples on Saturdays, with a few book reviews sprinkled in as I finish reading indie author books.
