Juggling projects (and trying not to drop them all)

Many, I wish I could write faster. I probably can, but there are times when writing is an uphill slog, and you can’t put your foot on the accelerator too hard or your tires will spin out. Right now, I’m about halfway through Star Wolf (formerly HEART OF THE NEBULA), and I’m in the part… Continue reading Juggling projects (and trying not to drop them all)

Experimenting with prices

So now that the last Star Wanderers novella is out and I’m hard at work on the next book, I’m thinking very seriously about experimenting with my prices. I haven’t done a lot of price experimentation, especially since writing became my main source of income about six months ago. I just recently landed a job… Continue reading Experimenting with prices

Lindsey Stirling, Nichieri, Susan Boyle, and thoughts on discoverability and greatness

I saw a couple of things on Youtube that made me think recently about the importance of quality work, especially in the arts.

SW-VIII: DELIVERANCE coming out in January

So when I left for family vacation in Iowa last week, I thought I’d put the cover files for Star Wanderers: Deliverance (Part VIII) in my dropbox folder.  It turns out, I didn’t–it’s still on my desktop back in Provo.  Since I don’t get back until late on New Year’s Eve, that means that it won’t… Continue reading SW-VIII: DELIVERANCE coming out in January

Thoughts on sequels and the Desolation of Smaug

So last week I saw the new Hobbit movie, The Desolation of Smaug, and I really, really liked it … right up to the ending.  Why? BECAUSE IT RESOLVED NOTHING!!! Okay, sorry for the spoiler (though you probably should have guessed there would be spoilers in a post like this).  There’s going to be more… Continue reading Thoughts on sequels and the Desolation of Smaug
