It has been a crazy month. April saw nearly all of my e-books go on sale at insanely low prices, which enticed a large number of new readers to try my stories about a fire-wielding vampire and a magical tattoo artist.

As a reader, I wish books would speak to me, literally, as I browse the tables and up and down the aisles. Admittedly, it is the cover that almost whispers. Such was the case of Alex Grecian's THE YARD.

The cover, with all its Victorian drama and well-spaced artwork would draw me to the table. I w... read more »

“A recent survey issued by Scholastic, the 2010 Kids & Family Reading Report, found that 43 percent of the children ages 9-11 believe the most important outcome of reading books for fun is to open up the imagination. 62 percent of the same demographic say they read books for fun “to be inspir... read more »

I have some experience on this topic, but only learned these lessons from my own experiences, and hearing others opinions about what comes after graduating from college.

I had the wonderful experience of consuming “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” and “Blade Runner” today.

Wonderful, because the movie was better than the book. I have a huge issue with the book, but that’s not why the movie is better. What makes it better is the concept of Replicants v.s. Andro... read more »

نار تضيء .. في الطريق ظلمتي

This blog about overcoming underearning scares me. It’s old, from 2009.

I would love to know what happened to the blogger. She had dreams and aspirations like the rest of us, but based on her posts was making little progress.

Her comments reminded me of a quote in my book. Something along the lines...

Interpersonal peace depends on two things: consciousness and empathy. This is nothing new. Hardly revolutionary. There are two kinds of consciousness: self and other.
