This is another great cover by James, over at GoOnWrite.com. I’m really happy with how it turned out! I’m working on the AI draft right now, but should have it done very soon.

New Gunslinger covers!
From time to time, it’s a good idea to put up new book covers—especially when the originals were ones you made yourself. I realized last year that it was high time to get new covers for my Gunslinger novels, and this month I went ahead and got it done. Check them out! I will try… Continue reading New Gunslinger covers!

New Star Wanderers cover mockup
So I’ve been playing around with Stable Diffusion, working on a new cover for Star Wanderers. This is what I came up with: What do you guys think?

Retro sci-fi cover fails
Back a few years ago when indie publishing was a new thing, I remember there was a blog that would take the worst self-published covers and make fun of them.

Thoughts on Minimum Viable Product
So I read an article on Draft2Digital’s blog about Minimum Viable Product and what it means for writers, and it got me to thinking about what that means for books in general, and my own books in particular. From what I’ve managed to gather (and I could be totally wrong), the controversy in the indie… Continue reading Thoughts on Minimum Viable Product
Genesis Earth now available in paperback
For the last couple of months, all of my paperbacks have been unavailable due to some quality control problems with KDP Paperback. The quality of their product is substantially inferior to CreateSpace, unfortunately. But for now, it still remains the best option for getting my books out in paperback, so that’s what I’m doing until… Continue reading Genesis Earth now available in paperback
