Hi all. It’s been a few weeks and I’ve gotten lots of great feedback from readers and reviewers. As a result, I’ve made several hundred mostly minor corrections. Amazon unfortunately doesn’t automatically send out updated copies unless you jump through some fairly serious hoops. However, if you are reading on Kindle Unlimited, you should be […]

Hi all. It’s been almost a month since the book came out and it has been a lot of fun. Too much of my time spent obsessing over sales and page counts, discovering mistakes in the book, etc. Very enlightening to say the least. It’s also been great getting some honest feedback on the book. […]

The book has now been available in both Paperback and Kindle for a few days and I can tell you, KDP reports are addicting.   Amazon’s kindle publishing page lets an author see how many books have been sold in the various formats, what marketplaces have had what sales, and even how many pages have been […]

Well, October 1st has come and that means those pre-ordered copies of the book have delivered.  So excited to see it out there and anxiously awaiting hopefully positive reviews.  When I logged on to check the sales today I was even surprised to see someone bought it through Amazon in Germany.   Color me surprised!

Hi all.  Just received in the first cover proof as you can see below and I think it looks fantastic.   Some very minor changes yet to be done, but Jim did a great job.  With luck I should have the final by the end of the week and then we’ll go into pre-sale this weekend […]

Well, after much struggle and internal angst, I have finally finished the book.   I can tell you that seeing your book come back from editing the first time is an experience that makes you want to laugh and cry.   It’s really like seeing someone who commented on just how ugly your baby is. Yet, inside […]

Hi all!  Just got in two more cover choices for the first book and they look great!   So far, I’m leaning towards cover 3, with Zaaz on the Ice Worm, but cover 4 looks awesome too.  Please remember these are samples and not the finished product, so there will be significant changes before production.  Which […]

Hello all and welcome to my writing blog.  After years of reading science fiction and fantasy works, I decided it was time to pursue seeing if I could write anything worth reading.  As the time I write this, we are well under way to find out.  My first novel, tentatively to be named “Winter of […]
