Psst...Do you want free books?
One of the things I like a lot about WordPress are all the plugins it has. It can really help to enhance a site. Besides having my own webspace that I paid for (as opposed to using the limited free services on WordPress.com), I took it a step further and…
Got a bit of an update for everyone today. First off, I've decided to try to get back into the lettering game. I've spoken to some former clients and they seemed excited to hear that I'm looking for lettering work again. I've also updated my lettering portfolio and added it…
Amazon is preparing to launch Kindle Worlds. This is a new platform that will allow anyone to submit novels, novellas, and short stories inspired by the properties they've licensed. If you're thinking, "hey, that kind of sounds like fanfiction, doesn't it?" then you'd be right. Amazon has now found a…
Man, those are two words every writer loves to type at the end of a project. Especially one that's been with me for as long as SoulQuest has. It's funny, actually. Two years ago was the last time I finished writing a book, and that was Dragon Kings of the Orient. I haven't…
Faulkner once said, "in writing, you must kill your darlings." He was referring generally to those sections of writing that you're really in love with, but it's also been applied to kill off your favorite characters. In this case, I'm using it to refer to characters who you created but…
I'm still muddling through the middle of SoulQuest. This one section of the book is proving pretty difficult to write for some reason and I'm not really sure why. It could just be some general fatigue with the project as a whole. It's been a while since I've written a longer…
The nominations for the Pulp Ark Awards of 2013 have now come to a close. If you sent in your nominations by the deadline, you should have received an e-mail from Tommy Hancock with the final ballot. Make sure you send in your votes! Please note that only those who participated in…
Yesterday, I passed the 25K mark on SoulQuest, so I've hit the middle of my 50K goal. Crossing the 50% mark on a project is both exciting and scary and it's when I enter what I like to call the Muddling Middle. On every project, when I hit the 50% mark,…
I was tagged in this game by Mark Bousquet earlier this month (which shows you how off my memory can be as I just remembered). The Next Big Thing is a little game where you answer ten interview questions about your upcoming project and then tag five writers in it. For…
The life cycles of my projects can be really funny sometimes, and also a bit bizarre. For example, the project that would eventually become Love & Bullets, my third novel, was actually begun before I even sat down to write my first novel, Fallen. And The Myth Hunter may actually predate both of…
