I’ve been talking (and thinking) about a newsletter for the website for the past few months. The problem with that is, neither talking nor thinking about something actually gets it done. So, the other day, while riding the train home I started putting together the newsletter on my iPad. But, what to put into it? Obviously, updates on my own progress with my writing – people wouldn’t have subscribed if they didn’t want to know about my various projects, would they? But, it has to be more than a means to shill out my work. There has to be something special that subscribers will get that no one else can. So what did I come up with? Well, in fact, […]

The Jury is Still Out
I’ve finished putting Boyscouts of the Apocalypse up on Wattpad and I’m still waiting and watching to see if I get the full results I was hoping for. So far, I’ve had a good response to the story. Not stellar, mind you, but good. The exercise has helped me to solidify my own plans for the story. And just what are those plans, you might ask (or perhaps you might not)?

I didn’t fall into the trap of letting it extend. I immediately followed that up with two short stories I had been meaning to write for two anthologies. That also was a relatively fast write […]

I listen to a lot of podcast fiction and one name that keeps coming up as a narrator extraordinaire is Veronica Giguere. I had the opportunity to meet Veronica at Balticon last May and she is pretty amazing to put it mildly. I knew I had to get her on the show. And today, you will have the opportunity to listen to my interview with Veronica where we talk about audio books and narration and bunch of other things. I also have been working on something with my publisher that I think will be a game changer for any authors out there who do signings and appearances. I talk about that in the Tips and Typos section. Finally, before we […]
