I have talked on occasion about the various projects I’m working on. Up until now, I haven’t been able to give any dates when my projects are coming out. Well, that is over. At least, I can tell you about some of the projects I have coming out. So, here goes. Mik Murdock, Boy Superhero now has an official release date. It is scheduled for release August 1, 2012. There is one more edit to go and then the layout has to be done, galley’s reviewed and review copies sent out. It will be a busy few months coming up. Mad Scientist Anthology has been picked up by Five Rivers Publishing. Five Rivers has traditionally been a Canadian-only press however, Lorina […]

Why Podcasting Your Work Can Be Good
I was thinking about my writing and my podcasting the other day and I came to realize how much benefit my writing actually gets from being podcast. It might stem from that advice you hear many professional authors give to “read your work out loud”, but there are definite positive outcomes to doing it: You end up with a much cleaner manuscript.

I am also happy to have JRMurdock do another of his Unorthodox Writing Tips. In today’s show he talks about paying attention. I also wanted to briefly talk about a couple of new projects I’m working on that you may or may not be aware of. The first, of these is the Mad Scientist Handbook that you have likely heard a promo for on previous episodes of the show. The Handbook is […]
Read moreKeep Your Eyes (and Ears) Open for Opportunities
Last week I thought I was hitting all the important places to get word out on my work and ongoing projects. Then, out of the blue, without so much as a “By-your-leave”, a good friend of mine asked me if I had spent any time on Wattpad. I had to reluctantly admit that, no, I had not spent ANY time on Wattpad. As in none whatsoever. That lack may not surprise those of you who don’t know what Wattpad is.

Okay, that’s great, but why do I care? Let me put it to […]
