Say you only have a little over an hour each day to write. (That would be me.) “Real” job, kids & family, cleaning, cooking, commuting, reading, working out, and paying bills are all things that get in the way of writing. Most of those are good things, by the way (not cleaning; cleaning sucks), but […]
April/May 2017 Progress Report
This year is going by way too fast, but it’s still been a great year so far. April and May were both pretty good months for me on the writing side as well. I’ve mentioned this stuff before, but I had my first solo author talk, my first reading at an author fair, attended another […]

With the new baby, a writing conference, a bunch of signings, panels, and talks, and of course getting hit by a car while crossing the street…yeah, things have been somewhat crazy over here. And while I’ve been keeping up with my promotional goals, […]
Some more thoughts about self-publishing
I’m frequently asked what I think about self-publishing and whether I’ve considered it. I don’t mind the question at all, and in today’s environment, more and more authors are choosing to go that route. Why I’m not currently self-publishing While my thoughts about self-publishing have evolved in the last three or four years, it’s still […]
