In all the madness of the world I forgot to mention that Bowerbirds has been re-released. It has an extra epilogue of about a thousand words. If you bought the first edition send me a copy of the receipt and I’ll send you an updated copy. It’s been a strange project going back and reworking […]

If you’re like me you have suddenly become a home-schooling house spouse with zero productivity outside of keeping the kid from gnawing through the fence in an escape attempt.

Don’t read your reviews is what every author tells every other author. Guess what every author does? We read our reviews. Don’t respond to your reviews, is the other thing authors tell each other. This one is hard but necessary. Apparently even saying ‘thank you’ to nice reviews makes you look like a creep, and […]

There are authors out there who are brimming with so many ideas they are able to write every single one of their books in the exact same genre. I actually heard one author of my acquaintance say ‘I’ve got a great idea but it’s not in my genre’. I’m not one of those authors. My plot […]
