Well, guys, it looks like I’ve gone and published another book! Star Wanderer: Deliverance (Part VIII) is now live on Amazon, Smashwords, and Kobo, and will soon be up on Barnes & Noble, Sony, and the iBookstore. In the next couple of months, I’ll probably put it up on Google Play and DriveThru Fiction as… Continue reading STAR WANDERERS: DELIVERANCE (PART VIII) is now available!

Resolutions and such for 2014
Yes, I know this post is a couple of days late. Yesterday I was busy publishing Star Wanderers: Deliverance (Part VIII), though, and the day before that I was on the train, and today I had to renew my vehicle registration … enough! On to the resolutions. 1. Publish something every 6 weeks. One thing… Continue reading Resolutions and such for 2014
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
New STAR WANDERERS story coming soon!
For those of you who have been following the Star Wanderers series, I’m happy to report that Deliverance (Part VIII) will be out soon!

SW-I OUTWORLDER is #1 on Amazon’s Space Opera subcategory!
Check it out! 😀 With the new cover, Star Wanderers: Outworlder (Part I) has been bouncing around the #3 / #4 slots, with the top slot taken by books with holiday weekend promos. But now that it’s Tuesday, it’s right up there at the #1 spot! This is without any kind of extra promotion on… Continue reading SW-I OUTWORLDER is #1 on Amazon’s Space Opera subcategory!
Not a new book, just a new cover!
So a couple of weeks ago, I got an email out of the blue from Derek Murphy over at CreativIndie Covers. He’s a cover designer who periodically does cover makeovers for indie writers, as a way to bring in business and build his own reputation. He wanted to do an experiment to see if he… Continue reading Not a new book, just a new cover!
I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo
I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo because … yeah, I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo. I’ve been doing a lot to get the print versions of the Star Wanderers novellas up, but beyond that, not a whole lot of writing. Still one scene to go in Sons of the Starfarers: Brothers in Exile… Continue reading I’m not going to talk about nanowrimo
Nanowrimo is kicking my butt
… but that’s a good thing. While procrastinating my daily word count, I’ve almost finished Book I of Sons of the Starfarers, formatted and orders proofs for the first four Star Wanderers novellas, alpha-read most of another book for a friend, and done a bunch of other things (which is nothing compared to a friend… Continue reading Nanowrimo is kicking my butt
Publishing is as easy as the Irish Tinwhistle
David Gaughran has another excellent blog post up, this time about publishing in general and something that most newbies don’t realize when they first start out. From his post: I’m saying that when a newbie has been convinced that self-publishing is hard or expensive the chances of them falling into the clutches of a third-party… Continue reading Publishing is as easy as the Irish Tinwhistle
