I’ve added new perks to the Indiegogo campaign for The Marked. If you have an idea for a perk, do let me know. This past weekend, the Princess graduated from high school. (Good Lord, I feel old.) Yes,...

I’m not sure who I’d be if I stopped writing (other than a corpse), but I wonder sometimes if it would stop the periodic bouts of crippling self-doubt. I’m not talking the lo-fi “maybe I should be a...

View ArticleIs It Monday Yet?
So CreateSpace decided–after the paperback of Beast of Wonder was already on sale–to “suppress” the book for “copyright verification.” They didn’t bother to verify the copyright during the proofing...
