New blurbs and an interview

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!

Trope Tuesday: Accidental Marriage

When it comes to weddings, most of us like to plan things out in advance.  It’s not uncommon for couples to spend years figuring each other out before they finally tie the knot.  So what happens when you wake up one morning and find yourself married by accident to a complete and total stranger? This… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Accidental Marriage

Back in the States

So I got back to the States last night, after about forty six hours of travel (and only four or five hours of sleep).  It’s good to be back, but I’m already missing Georgia and thinking about all the things I’ll do once I get back. The weirdest thing about being back home so far… Continue reading Back in the States

Form rejection and WOTF closure

So I finally got an email from the Writers of the Future contest.  It reads: Dear Entrant, Your story has now been judged and did not win or place in the 1st quarter. Even though you have never had to wait for results in order to submit for the next quarter, this hopefully gives you… Continue reading Form rejection and WOTF closure

Still traveling

So I think I’ve clocked in about 1,000 kilometers this past week, mostly between Kutaisi and Tbilisi.  Seen some interesting things, met a lot of interesting people, made some good memories, and thought a lot of deep and poignant thoughts. Unfortunately, all this travel isn’t conducive to blogging.  I’ve got five days before I fly… Continue reading Still traveling

Still waiting…

So the finalists for the first quarter Writers of the Future have been announced, but there hasn’t been any word on semi-finalists or silver HMs and probably won’t be until the winners are announced.  I can’t really publish part I of Star Wanderers until I hear back, so that means more waiting.  Grrr… In the meantime,… Continue reading Still waiting…

Blurb and cover for Star Wanderers

So the first quarter finalists for the Writers of the Future contest were finally announced (finally!), and I wasn’t among them.  Oh well.  But the good news is that I can move ahead now to publish part 1 of Star Wanderers! First, though, I need to work out a killer blurb.  This is what I’ve got… Continue reading Blurb and cover for Star Wanderers
