First of all, I recently did an interview with Elizabeth Baxter on her blog, Small Blonde Hippy. In it, I discuss Star Wanderers, Stars of Blood and Glory, and a bit about my path to becoming an indie author. You can find it here–go check it out! Second, in preparation for the new ebook versions of… Continue reading New blurbs and an interview

Yay for Kobo Writing Life!
So after a month of waiting, Kobo’s publishing platform, Writing Life, is finally up! I just finished uploading all of my titles (except my short stories–I’ll just continue to distribute through Smashwords for now). Genesis Earth is already available, and the others should be up soon. For those of you who are readers, this means… Continue reading Yay for Kobo Writing Life!
The print edition of Genesis Earth is in!
The proof for the print edition of my first novel, Genesis Earth, just came in the mail–and it looks AWESOME! Check it out! Holy crap, it is so cool to have a book in my hands THAT I ACTUALLY WROTE. So cool! I approved the proof a couple of hours ago. It’s currently up for sale… Continue reading The print edition of Genesis Earth is in!
Rivers and orphans and rivers, oh my!
So one of my goals this summer is to release POD (print-on-demand) editions for the three novels I currently have up as ebooks (Genesis Earth, Bringing Stella Home, and Desert Stars). I started with Genesis Earth a couple of days ago, and wow! I had no idea that getting a book ready for print could be so… Continue reading Rivers and orphans and rivers, oh my!
Summer To Do list
They say that the three main perks to being a teacher are June, July, and August, and that’s as true for TEFL teachers as it is for any other kind. I’m spending June in Georgia, but for July and August, I’ll be back in the States. Instead of vacationing, though, I plan to be working… Continue reading Summer To Do list
New cover for Bringing Stella Home!
Yep, it’s in! Here it is: I decided to redo the cover in preparation for a print-on-demand edition which I hope to release at some point this summer. The artist is Hideyoshi, who also did the cover art for Genesis Earth and Desert Stars. He’s great to work with and does some seriously awesome work, so… Continue reading New cover for Bringing Stella Home!
Trope Tuesday: True Neutral
The True Neutral is something of an enigma. They generally take no side, either because they have moved beyond good and evil, or because they simply don’t see good and evil the way we do. Or because this isn’t their war and they just want to be left alone. Or…well, let’s get to it. From the… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: True Neutral
Finding the right price
One of the most controversial parts of indie publishing is deciding what price to set for your books. Epublishing is so new that there isn’t any good data to base pricing decisions off of, and everyone seems to have a different feeling as to what is “fair.” Most readers (including me) agree that $12.99 is… Continue reading Finding the right price
Vortex by Robert Charles Wilson
Almost seventy years ago, the mysterious alien beings known as the Hypotheticals encased Earth in a force field and built a network of giant arches facilitating overland travel to other habitable planets. With access to the fossil fuel resources of half a dozen worlds, humanity is slowly killing its homeworld, even as it expands to… Continue reading Vortex by Robert Charles Wilson
Trope Tuesday: Neutral Evil
Have you ever encountered a villain who you just hated? One who only cares about himself (or herself), who has no real loyalties and will sell out his friends, or even his master? One who treats people as means to an end, and will use whatever means necessary to achieve those ends? Chances are, that… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Neutral Evil
