Sometimes, when you're an independent writer, you need to put a good deal of effort into promoting your work. You try to set up interviews, you do blog posts, mailing list promotions, all sorts of stuff. And then sometimes without really any effort things seem to fall into place. This is just a screenshot, alas, … Continue reading Listen to the wind blow…
Audiobooks
And… Release!
See? I've brought proof! It is my happy duty to announce that Book 1 of the Cerah of Quadar series, A Dark Clock, is now available as an audiobook from Audible, and does it ever sound great! I am always amazed at the talent of my narrator, Aven Shore Narrating, and it is on display … Continue reading And… Release!
Coming to (New) Life
Every now and then by chance, my thinking once went, you meet someone who gets you. When you're a writer, and that person happens to be one of the most talented audiobook narrators in the business, one might say you've gotten the bonus plan. The upgrade to VIP status. First class, hot towels and everything. … Continue reading Coming to (New) Life
Let Me Take You Back…
In 2009 I was beginning to move toward writing something of substance. A series of tough years had essentially reduced my writing output to two or three journal entries per year that consisted of essentially the same words every time: "I can't believe it's been [insert a ridiculously high number here] months since I've written … Continue reading Let Me Take You Back…

Now "At Last" is, of course, a love song, and … Continue reading At Last…

July 2, 2020 at 1:48 in the morning. According my best friend and arch nemesis, Microsoft Word, that is when I wrote the first sentence of the first chapter of my current endeavor, a novel called Three Witches. Today, October 17, 2020 at 3:27 in the afternoon I wrote the first word of the final … Continue reading The First of the Last
Listen to this…
Audiobooks. Do you love 'em? A lot of people do. I've enjoyed several over the years, I think the first I ever listened to was Brother Odd from Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series. But I've always been a reader, and I've read far more than I've listened to. That's changing, and I'll tell you why. … Continue reading Listen to this…
