One of the more awesome features on any indie distributor’s sites is Kobo’s sales map. It’s a screen from behind the scene that an Indie publisher can use to quickly see where in the world their audience is. I took a gander at mine earlier today, and thought it was pretty danged cool to see […]
Read More ...Three Days to Go
It seems to me with three days to go that we are at the top of this roller coaster edging forward holding on feeling the tangled wilderness below Knowing soon we will hurtle downward gaining speed on rails we’ve built ourselves and hoping someone else remembered to build the bottom Share Me
Read More ...MMM (in OnSpec) reviewed
I’m a week or two delinquent in posting this, but Diane Walton sent me this most interesting review of the current issue of OnSpec, which contains my story “Marvelous, Magnificent, Murderous.” I got a kick out of it. Thought you might too. My favorite part is “I liked it best because it goes against the […]
Read More ...Writing vs. Typing, Hallelujah!
It’s the season for conflict. No, not Trump vs. Clinton. I’m talking Nanowrimo fans and their opposition, a group that for the lack of a better term I’ll call the, anti-rimos.

Read More ...Love Powders & Wicked Witches
The Witches’ Brew bundle is now available on BundleRabbit.com Whew, I say, pushing my head above water just in time to see the publication of my short story “Love Powders and Wicked Witches” in the Witches’ Brew bundle. It’s October, right? Totally makes sense. On the other hand, Holy goodness, but where has time gone? […]
