I was interviewed by Simon Whistler over on Rocking Self Publishing. Check it out! It runs long, about an hour and references the 10x article below. Also available on iTunes!
10x Thinking: Applying startup methodology to indie publishing
This is a reprint of a post I made over on Kboards, but it was suggested I include it as a blog post as well. I don’t do a lot of posts aimed at indie publishers, but why the heck not? I live in the land of Uber and Fitbit, where Apple is king and…
No Mere Zombie is coming
I have good news for those who finished the first book and are cursing me for dropping that horrendous cliffhanger. I’m in the middle of the last heavy content edit and should be done the first week of January. After that No Mere Zombie is off to beta readers. The goal is an April release, and…
Big news!
Not only is the audiobook for No Such Thing As Werewolves live on iTunes, Audible and Amazon but the pre-order for The First Ark is up as well. Merry Christmas, me =) Also, after feedback from the mailing list I’m going to post a chapter from Book 2 that reveals Trevor’s fate after the end of…
Adventures in Audiobooks
I went through a reading dry spell for several years where I’m not sure I picked up more than two books. That’s horrifying considering back in high school I used to devour a book a day. All that changed when I discovered Audible.com. Suddenly I could download a book wherever I happened to be and…
The First Ark is nearly here!
The manuscript has been completed and is just awaiting one final edit before being ready! The preorder will be up on Amazon this weekend, and the most important part? The beautiful new cover! I’d like to offer a big thank you to Nikolai for the amazing rendition of The Mother, and to Stu for his…
Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of the Indie Author
I discovered D&D when I was six. Several older kids were hunched around books and dice at a corner table in the library. I was fascinated and asked to join, but they told me I was too young. It was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. See, I don’t deal well…
Searching For My Tribe
Once I was part of a vast tribe. An endless nation of geeks and nerds, each armed with their fandom. Star Wars, Harry Potter or Rifts. We’d gather every weekend to play the latest RPG, or draft the newest box of Magic the Gathering. Every few months we’d congregate at Dundracon or ComicCon. It was part of…
Writing: One Hour a Day
Most of my friends and family know I’m a writer, but whenever I’d say ‘I’m going to publish a novel‘ they’d look at me the same way you look at the fat guy who says he’s going to lose weight (I know, because at one point I was the fat guy). They give polite smiles and…
No Zero Days
I launched my blog just over a month ago and during that time I’ve struggled to decide which direction to take it in. Conventional wisdom says I should include posts about things my readers might like in an attempt to corral the type of traffic that will net book sales. So I wracked my brain….
