Goodreads Authors

Not the ones who shout it, who spit it in the streets. Those are easy to spot. You step around them like puddles. It’s the quiet ones you miss—the ones who call you darling, sweetheart, who post photos with their hand at the small of your back, smiling for the camera like devotion itself. The on

Ya terminé el cuarto cuento para el nuevo libro. Aún no decido si voy a incluir uno de los cuentos terminados porque me parece muy deprimente y pesimista.

For decades, marketing has been guided by giants. Philip Kotler taught us structure. Al Ries and Jack Trout taught us perception. Seth Godin sold us on tribes. Robert Greene reminded us that power, not persuasion, rules the world.

But every era produces its successor - the one who distills, adapts, a Read more of this blog post »

Today’s Daily Thought: You know it’s autumn when the fireplace becomes a family member. We gather around it. We speak gently. We don’t touch the remote anymore.

If an author published a draft by mistake, should they go back and rework the material? I did. But it took more than a decade to realize the gravity of my error.

Cassian Merrick: This novel is beautifully strange. The narrator speaks from beyond death, reflecting on life’s confusions while weaving in cartel violence, Texas law enforcement, and human weakness.

Hello!

As I'm typing this, I'm enjoying the view of the blue sky from my office window. It's a beautiful fall day here in Northern Alabama and I'm reminded of one of my favorite Bible verses. "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24.
