Apologies for another late posting, but the latter half of August has been a whirlwind of activity, as expected. Between vending at two back-to-back conventions (the subjects of an upcoming blog post or two), staying briefly at a mountain lodge, and all the days of travel in between, there had been little to no timeContinue reading “Plans for September”

French Literary Terms
Several years ago I made a post on Latin literary terms. But we also borrow heavily from other languages when referring to particular phenomena or techniques, especially French. So, what better way to mark this Bastille Day than to list a few of the more common ones collected from various sources?
Happy Independence Day!
Happy 248th birthday to the United States of America! So close to that 250 mark, and yet so far! Have a safe, fun 4th of July, all, and I’ll see you with my first substantial post of this month next week!
Summer E-Book Sale!
Forgot to mention it before, but Bluedrake Books is running a 50% off sale for the month of July on all its e-books. That means, if you purchase direct from me, my publisher, or select retailers, you can get any or all of my titles for half off this month only!

Marketing Matters: Merchandising
Some time ago, I made a post about promotional materials, and how they could help sell your book. But what if there are other ways you could sell your book–or even other products you could sell that somehow relate back to your work in some other way? I believe there are several interesting possibilities outContinue reading “Marketing Matters: Merchandising”
Plans for April
March was a busy month. Between getting ready for my debut appearance at TFF, attending said event, and dealing with the aftermath, I managed to get a goodly number of other things done that put me in a decent position to start April. It could have been a much better position had other things beenContinue reading “Plans for April”
Plans for March
Well, February was certainly a packed month. Between some major manuscript checking, ordering stock for my appearance at Texas Furry Fiesta, and other sundry progress, I feel it was an accomplished month indeed. Here in March, I am hoping to build on that progress, and of course to see just how I can do atContinue reading “Plans for March”
