Just wanted to point out that both my books are available in Kindle Unlimited. The Seventh Sons of Sycamore is available in its original serial novel form. And my newest urban fantasy novel, Shade City, is enrolled as a stand-alone book. They’re both already getting some borrows and sales. Why don’t you sign up to […]

Writing is a job. Sure, it can be a hobby. It can be a calling. But if you want to make an income writing full-time, it needs to be treated as work. Starting with my Butt In Chair call to action, I really pushed myself this week to be a tough boss. 2,500 words a […]
Every writer knows the ultimate secret to being prolific is Butt-in-Chair time. Workshops, how-to books, marketing- there’s a place for many things but they can never be a replacement for good old fashioned putting-words-to-a-page. As I’ve been carefully eyeing the release of Shade City, it occurred to me that I needed to keep moving forward. […]
Some fellow authors are writing blog posts that relate to their books and vacation. I thought that was interesting because I just started adding Seventh Sons bonus content about Flagstaff, Arizona. Read my entry here. As far as the rest of the authors, please take time to check out their posts. GSRG Blog Tour Stops […]
It was a short week. I only got 8000 words in for the Seventh Sons sequel. There’s a bit of laziness involved that I need to nip in the bud. On the other hand, I’ve been doing my best not to pay too much attention to the launch of Shade City (The full novel is […]

I fear my social media presence this week has been dismal. But you know what? I don’t care. In fact, I’m downright pleased with myself. Because I started writing the Seventh Sons sequel on Tuesday. My word count goal is 2500 a day, and I hit that all four days. That’s over 10k words in […]
It was a great week of wrapping things up. Of bringing tasks to an end so that others can begin. First off, I finished integrating all the changes to my Urban Fantasy manuscript from my editor. Philip Newey does great work and I can’t recommend him enough. With the final pass of my latest novel […]
The sequel to The Seventh Sons of Sycamore is more or less outlined. Having done this process a few times by now, I have some observations. I find it helpful to divide the book up into Beginning, Middle, and Ending. The Beginning needs a very detailed scene by scene breakdown. It sets the mood and […]
I’m starting two brand new projects. One is a sequel to The Seventh Sons of Sycamore, which was released in March but mostly written in 2013. The other is Project Zero, a short story. That’s a lot of new ideas to come up with, and I don’t want to take too long, cause time’s a […]
