So I may have mentioned that my writing and business partner Craig A. Hart and myself have started a new website which is going to be a hub for all of our writings, both solo and corporate. And is always the case with Craig and I, when we do something, we do it up big. … Continue reading e2books, Bruté?

Reminders
Writing is, by nature, a fairly solitary gig. Hours upon hours spent alone, as far as anyone could see. Of course, we never feel alone, because our heads are filled with the voices of countless characters, our mind's eye filled with distant, imaginary vistas. But to anyone who might walk by and accidentally see the … Continue reading Reminders
Welcome to Disorientation
College Orientation as I remember it. I have vivid memories of college orientation. I got to experience two, as I went to Fordham University my freshman year, and then transferred to the State University College of New York at Potsdam, (or as we happily called it "SUCP," pronounced, of course, "suck pee.") The thing I … Continue reading Welcome to Disorientation
A Notion
Here is what I'm thinking: In the months since I finished writing The Terror of Tijuana, my work effort has been, if I'm being honest, hit or miss at best. This is not all straight laziness and negligence, but those are certainly big components. There were other elements in play, and everything seemed to come … Continue reading A Notion

Website Blues
This blog has been around almost exactly as long as my official website, sjvarengo.com. It was started to capitalize on the fact that feed from the blog will show up on my Amazon.com Author page, a function which my website cannot provide. Originally the website had a lot of extra features that the blog didn't, … Continue reading Website Blues
The Big Email Boom
I use a nifty service called MailChimp, that I heartily endorse to anyone who needs to develop an email subscription list. It's worked well for me, and I've used the free plan since I began using email to market my books. I have absolutely zero complaints with it. I mentioned a while ago that my … Continue reading The Big Email Boom
The Honeymoon
In the midst of all the excitement over the release of my second novel in the Cerah of Quadar series, (perhaps you've heard? Many Hidden Rooms is now available?) I haven't done much writing about what I'm writing currently. (Don't you hate writers that write about writing? I should write something about that one day!) This seems … Continue reading The Honeymoon
