I’m usually a very linear writer. I like to start at the beginning and finish the story, before starting again. Which sounds like it should on the way upper level of “duh” obviousness, but you’d be surprised at how people write. But every now and then, a scene or a conversation comes to me, and […]
Publishing Day has come and gone. Now the challenging part starts. Expanding my empire. The last of my stories will be coming off of KDP select and disseminated across the interwebs. I’ll be everywhere soon. All this will be happening as I format the omnibus edition. For an added challenge, I’ve decided to release through […]
It’s here! It’s here! The seventh and final story in the Uncommon Animals series. Mina and Matty finally found the home they always wanted. They’ve settled into a routine of normalcy, working by day, hunting demons at night. But their lives are about to get complicated. The Tribes want them back, and they aren’t […]
The husband and I were discussing our plans for the day. I mentioned that I needed to do one last proofreading run before the 1st, for my own piece of mind. “I can’t wait until I can afford editors and artists. Proofreading and creating covers is the stressful part of self-publishing.” He laughed. “I’d think […]
I am not a graphic artist. I’m at best a passionate amatuer… emphasis on amatuer. I have however made my own covers. I’ve had fun with it, but the day I can turn it over to a pro, I will. In the meantime, I do my best. Since the city of Pittsburgh is such a […]
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Go here, and get free stories! Or here! Or here! You can get the first six Uncommon Animals stories for free this week. The grand finale, Hunter’s Moon will be released this Sunday for $0.99 on Amazon. But before you snag that, you can (and should!), get caught up on the first six stories… […]
Memorial Day is dangerous. It’s the first taste of summer. Sunny and warm, and full of lazy hours. Neither the kids nor myself really wanted to get up and get ready for school. . But it’s just a few more weeks until we can relax. It can not get here fast enough for me. I […]
This weekend was devoted to me figuring out if I had story. Everybody agrees that the secret to making a living self publishing is volume. This means that I constantly need to be writing. I know how the story ends. I figured that out when I decided to write more Pittsburgh stories. I rarely start […]
June 1st is the right around the corner, and with it it, the end of the Uncommon Animals series. Luckily, I’m ready. Been reading Hunter’s Moon out loud to the husband. I’ll be all set for June 1st. But so will you! Because I’m running a sale! Yup, with minimal work on your part, on […]
Yesterday was one of those days where I found myself unable to do much of anything. I flitted from project to project never really finishing most of them. I did rework the beginning of Sheepsquatch, and I started my cover for the omnibus edition of Uncommon Animals. I played with the basic cover template for […]
