My thoughts and ideas on various topics, including advice about writing and getting published.
I wanted to make sure everyone knew: we have one day left in the Quantum Law: Containment 99 cent promotion! This is all part of the release party for book 2, Resettlement. And did I mention the print book giveaway? You can read more about this stories here…
I am pleased to announce that Quantum Law: Resettlement, book 2 of the Quantum Law series, is now available for preorder ahead of its September 6 release. If you haven’t gotten started yet on book 1, Containment, it’s time to catch up! To celebrate all this, I’m continuing my Quantum Law: Containment print book giveaway. […]
Hard to believe that over two years have passed since the release of DEAD BEEF, my first novel in the Our Cyber World series. Time flies when you’re story-telling. I’m glad to report that together with the prequel Random Origins story collection, DEAD BEEF is free this weekend. Yes, that’s right. You can pick them […]
Before we enjoy an extra day off, or take advantage of a sale, let us reflect about the great sacrifice many have laid on the altar of freedom. For more background on this quote, refer to the Lincoln-Bixby letter.
It seems silly, even foolish (ha!) to have a day when we celebrate foolishness. April Fools’ day is here, and all manner of energy will be spent to concoct “credible” hoaxes and clever sarcastic-filled missives in the hopes that one of them will go viral. While I usually sit on the sidelines and look askance […]
What’s worse than getting up early Easter morning to news coverage of the ongoing political campaign? Doing so with a massive ear ache (yes, the antibiotics seem to be working). It’s enough to make a grown man want to write all sorts of social media messages and blog posts to wax cynical about all the […]
I wanted to drop my readers a quick note to confirm, that yes, indeed, Virtual Identity will come out in a couple of days. It’s not too late to sign up for the giveaway of printed copies. In addition, I also wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out on the introductory eBook price, which […]
Have you noticed? A lot of book series come in threes. For a Baptist that grew up loving baseball, I must confess this has a nice ring to it. The Trinity alongside three strikes, you’re out, three outs to an inning, three outfielders, and three bases before you can come home. But so far, neither […]
Today, hopefully without boring you, I want to talk about one of my favorite literary devices: foreshadowing. It doesn’t get a lot of press or mention in writerly circles, at least not the ones I frequent. I don’t know why. Maybe everyone’s too busy avoiding the dreaded mid-scene point of view (POV) switch, or it’s […]
Why should authors seek Beta readers? Why set additional time aside in your release cycle to consult with a team of folks? Why go through the painstaking work of assessing, adjudicating and incorporating reader inputs? Because it helps. A lot. I’m sure there are many ways to state how Beta readers positively impact an author’s […]
