Greetings all. I’m rather late on my monthly update, for which I apologize. In fact, I only just now realized I never did an update for October! However, there has been a lot going on. October was a very long, full month. It started with a little excursion to Tulsa, followed by many weeks ofContinue reading “Plans for November…and Beyond”

Marketing Matters: Promotional Materials
As I have pointed out on several occasions, it is one thing to finally complete your work; quite another to sell it.

But unless you properly promote that work, it will neverContinue reading “Marketing Matters: Promotional Materials”

June is thusContinue reading “Plans for June”

Even so, I looked over most of my proof of the next book and made a modicum of progress on translations as well. This monthContinue reading “Plans for May”

Writing with your main characters as animals rather than people can be an interesting, and in some ways even liberating, experience. However, with freedom comes responsibility, and thus there are certain rules that one must follow in order to writeContinue reading “Writing Anthropomorphic Fiction”
Plans for April
March was a very full, fairly productive month. It saw the semi-final review of my next book, Knights of Aralia Book II: Evil Rising (slated to go on pre-order sometime this month), as well as the continuation of my several translation projects. April looks to have great prospects. In addition to continuing the above projects,Continue reading “Plans for April”
