Beta Readers

I have always believed Beta Readers to be important to a writer. They are definitely important to me because, more often than not, my Beta Readers point out flaws in my stories that I am either unwilling or unable to see. For example, I’m currently editing/revising Scouts of the Apocalypse (formerly Boyscouts of the Apocalypse). This is a book I wrote some time ago for the Action Pack Podcast. I wrote it fast and episodically. When the story was complete I thought I had something that would be worth publishing.

Evil Alter Ego Press Publishes Dimensional Abscesses

As you might know, Jeffrey Hite and I have been working on bringing Evil Alter Ego Press to life. Our first book, Dimensional Abscesses (anthology) is available now (or Friday) depending on where you wish to purchase it (see bottom of post for links). It is a great book and we are very proud of it. This truly marks a change in the way Jeff and I are approaching the whole writing and publishing thing.

This book is currently available as an ebook and we hope […]

Get Published Episode 152 – Scott Roche Changes Gears

Every once in a while I see a post and I know I have to talk to the poster about it in more detail. Such a posting came from Scott Roche a few weeks ago. Scott talked about […]

Dirty Magick: New Orleans

Good news, everybody! Dirty Magick: New Orleans is now available as a Kindle eBook. This is the follow-up anthology to Dirty Magick: Los Angeles (which I also have a story in). This was a challenging anthology to write for, not because Charlie Brown, our editor in chief, is difficult, but because I haven’t yet had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans. I’m still very proud of my story and hope you will take this opportunity to check out the book. You can find it at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W8FE3FS. The Kindle eBook is available now and the trade paperback will be out in two weeks.
