Changing my mind about writing to market

January 9, 2017 by admin

In some previous blog post, I blathered on about my dislike for folks who were on the soap box ranting about the idea of writing to market. I can't quite recall what I wrote (and am too lazy to search around on my own website) but the general gist was: Meh, I want to write what I want to write. I abhorred the idea of doing research to determine what genre of story I was going to write. It … [Read more...]

Some folks are adamant: first book permafree. … [Read more...]

October 22, 2015 by admin

Since I have designed the covers and marketing materials for a number of my books, I am always on the look out for free sources of images that I can use without restrictive licenses. Below are five … [Read more...]

The Witch of the Sands: An Author’s Note

February 6, 2015 by admin

A lot of you may not know this but The Witch of the Sands, the first book in the Hounds of the North series, was actually written after Black River. In fact, I did not even start on The Witch of the Sands until two years after I began Black River and had a near final draft of the novel done. I know. It sounds crazy. Why I am doing things backwards? And it is backwards because … [Read more...]

Unfinished Projects

I read in a book recently that an experiment was done that showed that unfinished projects take up more mental bandwidth than finished projects. The scientists tested this by allowing their subjects to finish some puzzles but not others in a certain allotment of time. The subjects continued to think about the unfinished puzzles afterwards.
