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. In a nutshell, and borrowing a line from their About section: Wattpad is a revolutionary way for readers to discover and participate in the creation of new stories. Okay, that’s great, but why do I care? Let me put it to […]

Networking For The Win!
I’ve preached the networking mantra for quite some time now talking about how important it is for writers (well, anyone actually) to go forth and meet other people through whatever means possible. In the past few months I have seen just how fantastic good networking can be. Let me give you a brief rundown of some networking successes I’ve had lately: Twitter – I have met a huge number of very cool people on Twitter.

Read moreHappy Holidays!
The holiday season, many holiday seasons, in fact, are upon us. As I look back, I realize that I have a lot to celebrate this year: Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero now has a cover and has undergone its first level of edits. It is also scheduled for release early next year. One of my biggest dreams and goals will soon be realized. I cannot wait. My writing partner (JRMurdock) and I have finished the first draft of our YA Steampunk Novel. Even better, we have a publisher interested in seeing it. I know that we will sell this one. It was fun to write and, I think, fun to read too. I was able to meet the aforementioned JRMurdock at […]
