Tweet Last semester I took a class at OU called “Advanced Fiction Writing.” It’s one course in the midst of an entire Master’s degree that features only two classes not associated with advanced fiction writing, but that’s beside the point. “Advanced Fiction Writing” is an English class. The rest of my Master’s work has taken […]
Tweet On Tuesday I took a little time to tell you how to submit a manuscript to Amazon imprint 47North. I talked about how it made me feel when I crept carelessly back into that miserable process. But I didn’t tell you why I suddenly wanted to pursue a semi-traditional print publishing deal. I also […]
Tweet I’m going to start with the punchline today, and then backtrack to tell you where the information came from (and why it’s interesting). I’ll even explain why I told the story in reverse order. But first, the info. Submission Requirements for the Amazon Imprint 47North If you want to submit a novel for consideration […]
Tweet It seems I owe you an apology. I’ve been absent. I could offer the frantic bustle of the holiday season as my defense, but that’s not really it.

Tweet As of yesterday afternoon, all the Advance Reading Copies of The Dragonswarm have been sent. Thanks to everyone who requested one! I can’t wait to get your feedback. Encouraging Comments I’ve already heard from one satisfied customer. He must have read the book straight-through from the moment he received his email, because before I […]
Tweet I’ve got a whole bunch of news concerning The Dragonswarm, including an update on the KickStarter campaign, an official release date, and a link to a live excerpt from the upcoming book. But before I get to that, I want to make an offer. Advance Reading Copies Taming Fire has seen extraordinary success, and […]
Tweet For all my fans and supporters, I wanted to share a real quick post reminding you about my next book’s KickStarter campaign. It’s a great way to help support my publisher, play a part in the release of The Dragonswarm, and get your pre-order placed for the book. We only have two days left […]
