If you’re doing it yourself, going alone, self publishing, being an independent – whatever you prefer to call it – there’s something you need to be doubly aware of. Something a whole lot of writers are ignoring these days, including the ‘traditionals’, and that’s Respect. For yourself, your fellow writers, but most of all –Continue reading “r-e-s-p-e-k-t”
not for the faint of heart
In January of this year, I made the decision to go back to what I truly loved about writing. After years of learning, researching, and discovery, I stopped trying to find an agent and get that “big publishing contract.” I learned a lot in those years, and contrary to what some might think, I’ve madeContinue reading “not for the faint of heart”
kindle-ing.
So there I was, sitting at home watching a baseball game, and I get this email from Lulu telling me the books I have there are now also available through Amazon.

frank sinatra would be proud
I wasn’t going to blog this topic, but a couple of things happened that made me think to myself “what the hell.” And “maybe you should explain what’s going on.” As well as “you should post something, you know, so they don’t wander off and assume you’ve become one of the undead.” First, I wasContinue reading “frank sinatra would be proud”

The news being Free Fiction (yanno, since everyone loves freebies) Although there’s gonna be a catch this time. What do you mean, you ask? Well, it’s like this . . .Continue reading “What’s new?”
dammit, jim!
I hate when this happens – I am mere chapters away from The End in my current novel, slowing down a bit because I start to feel funny around this time, every time – and then it happens. There I am, in the bathroom, minding my own business and contemplating how this next chapter needsContinue reading “dammit, jim!”
are all writers bipolar?
Yesterday I was flying high – enjoying discussions about the future of Trunk Novels, brainstorming ideas for marketing and sponsorships that would bring in much needed revenue to promote and help place Trunk Novels in bookstores and mainstream online retailers. Feeling generally rosy and positive about the future. Today, as I keep working on myContinue reading “are all writers bipolar?”
