The Sales Pitch

Tweet On Tuesday I wasted some of your time bragging about how great I am. Right or wrong, I thought it would make a good foundation. Now I’ll try to make it worth your while. This is what I really wanted to write about anyway. Shoulders to Stand On There’s another foundational point I should […]

The Agents

Tweet I’m a hot commodity these days. No, really. Little ol’ me. You already know my books are selling well, but it gets bigger than that. Piper Back in January I received an email out of the blue. It came via the contact form here, and showed up in my Gmail. After some minor pleasantries, […]

A Writing Challenge

Tweet This blog post is coming to you extremely late. I’d have skipped it altogether, but I left you hanging last Tuesday and I really need to finish laying this foundation, because tomorrow we’re going to build on it. For what it’s worth: I’ve got a great excuse. I’ve just been so busy with the […]

A Writing Coach

Tweet I wear a lot of hats. Metaphorically speaking. I’m a Technical Writer and a grad student. I’m a publisher and a husband and a father. I’m a CEO and an Executive Director and a President. I’m a programmer and a web developer and a blogger. And I’m a bestselling novelist. That never gets old. […]

Pre-Order The Dragonswarm and Support the Arts

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 […]

Help Release The Dragonswarm

Tweet Incidentally, if you want to check out my KickStarter campaign, it’s here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/consortiumokc/the-dragonswarm-the-dragonprince-trilogy-2 The goal of the campaign is to pay the production costs of publishing an indie novel. I won’t beg and plead with you to share your hard-earned money, because I’ll be publishing this book even if the campaign isn’t funded. I’ve […]

Supporting the Arts with a New Patronage

Tweet About a month ago I got an email from an old friend and ended up posting my response here as an excellent summary of my plans for the Consortium. You might remember that. He wrote back right away to ask me for some more details, and it has taken me a month to answer. […]

Work-in-Progress Update for November 2011

Tweet Tuesday I talked about being a publisher as well as a writer. I was a little surprised when no one (yet) piped up to complain, because I’ve had a lot of people asking me with vigorous interest, “When will book two be done?!?!” I always want to feign a little bit of bafflement at […]
