On July 24th, 2024, eleven days after the (first) Trump assassination attempt, I posted the following predictions: 1. There will not be a second assassination attempt against President Trump before the election. On this one, I got it wrong badly.

Did I predict it?
On July 24th, 2024, eleven days after the (first) Trump assassination attempt, I posted the following prediction: 2. The FBI and DHS will continue to stonewall the investigation into the assassination attempt until something even more explosive dominates the news cycle. Remember how former President Trump was shot in the head at a rally in… Continue reading Did I predict it?
Did I predict it?
On July 24th, 2024, eleven days after the (first) Trump assassination attempt, I posted the following prediction: 4. The Democrats will nominate Harris for President. By this point, the coronation of Kamala Harris should be official. Without winning a single primary vote in either 2020 or 2024, she has been elected selected to be the… Continue reading Did I predict it?

2024 Predictions for the Publishing Industry

My Wild Predictions for 2023
Unpublishing “Payday”

(For those of you who may not be familiar… Continue reading Unpublishing “Payday”
Speaking Out Again
Hello there. It’s been a very long time since I posted on this blog. I wonder if anyone is still following it. About a year ago, I pivoted from the blog to my newsletter, and while that’s going well, this blog has been mostly neglected. And it would have continued that way, if not for… Continue reading Speaking Out Again
Thoughts on Mark Coker’s 2018 Publishing Industry Predictions
January is a time for making forecasts and predictions, and Mark Coker of Smashwords certainly did not disappoint. I have a lot of respect for Mark Coker, not only for being one of the pioneers of indie publishing, but for continuing to share his data and insights with us over the years.
