I love helping other people spread the word about what they are working on. I even like talking about what I’m working on. What (I think) I am terrible at is promoting my own finished work. In this case, I’m talking specifically about Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero. As you probably know, Mik Murdoch was released last August. I have tweeted about it.

So, today I am going to take the day off from writing and editing and podcasting. Today, I am simply going to be a dad. Have a good day.

As I spend time with my family, I can’t help but reflect on the positives of 2012. First and foremost, my family continues to be healthy and happy.

Get Published will hit its 100th episode in less than two weeks and I have many more interesting people already lined up for year five. The Action Pack Podcast is also going well. On the writing front, Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero was released August 1st and is gaining momentum. I’ve also got book two of the series under contract. The anthology, A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil is under contract and will be released next […]
