Ancient Eyes Now Available in Digital

Over at The Horror Mall, my novel ANCIENT EYES, previously only available in a sold-out and expensive limited edition, is now out from Bloodletting Press and Darkside Digital.  Here’s your chance to read what will (eventually) be BOOK II in the “The Chord at the End of the Rainbow,” what I figure will be a [...]

The Vintage Soul Blog Tour is Underway

This is actually kind of fun. My review copies have been received by two reviewers, and one of several give-away contests is under way as well. First up, you can read my guest blog about how you can’t ignore the mundane world around when writing urban fantasy unless you ignore it absolutely…

That’s at:   [...]

Coleman, “the Coal Man,” and Maelstrom Update

Every now and then I insert notes about this guy into my posts as an example of how writers find stories – or how stories find writers.  I’ve often said I don’t “come up” with stories, I live them.  In great part, this is true.  When I sit down to write, a lot of myself, [...]

This is My Blood – Reviewed – I’m a Bit Stunned

Over at Flames Rising they do book reviews. A lot of these reviews, maybe all of them, are for products that have gone up for sale through their Drive-Thru Horror/Fantasy/RPG sites.

E-book Pricing, Digital Sales & Amazon Breakout Novels

I’ve been digging around other people’s sites and taking in all the various opinions on the Macmillan / Amazon rumble. Amazon has – over the years – made a habit of applying predatory marketing techniques to most aspects of their business.  I have to applaud Apple and Macmillan for breaking that stranglehold somewhat, but on [...]

Affordable Books for Kindle … Seriously

Just thought I’d point out – in context – that the following three novels can be bought and read on your Kindle or almost any other device without paying the Amazon.com 9.99 or the MacMillan 14.99 apiece.  They will work in multiple readers…

DAUGHTERS

Four diverse characters collide in an ancient world [...]

MacMillan & Apple and Amazon – The Racket

Okay, as someone who has recently launched into the world of digital publishing, I have to run the WTF flag up the pole.  There has long been a dynamic at work in publishing that heavily favored publishers.  Amazon has – with their Kindle publishing system – added themselves on the favored side, but it’s still [...]

Good Newz? I found teh Choochie! LOLZ

February seems like a good time for lolz … not that there is any time that does NOT seem like a good time for lolz. I figured I would get things lolling…so to speak.
