Book Sale – $0.99 (for charity)
I haven’t spoken much about why I write certain books, because it varies widely. Sometimes it’s a moment of inspiration, but with The Inside Man, things were very different. This particular book was in the back of my mind for decades. When I was in college I had a friend whose younger sister was kidnapped […]

My first video tutorial
For many would-be authors, it’s daunting writing a book, but I’ve recently learned that for many, the task of writing a book pales in comparison to the obscure nature of publishing itself. How do I get my book to the places that people can read it? There are many services that provide (for a percentage) […]

Sale on Primordial Threat
I know I’m fairly pathetic when it comes to marketing my own stuff, so I probably should mention that there’s a brief sale on one of my e-books right now if you shop in Australia, Canada, UK, or India.

What does it take to get a “time out” on Facebook?
Well, I was on Facebook for 8 years without ever running into anything weird. But evidently I crossed a line that their algorithms hated when I posted a joke about a shotgun and someone with gnarly feet. Got the timeout seconds after posting it. Was pure algorithm. This post gave me a three day time […]

Perimeter – A Special Offer
With my debut novel, Primordial Threat, I managed to gain a pretty healthy following with Science Fiction readers. So much so, that I managed to hit the USA TODAY bestseller’s list. That only happened because of a fantastic set of readers and word of mouth. My goal with this post is to try and get […]

A peek at the next book, Darwin’s Cipher
Jon LaForce scrambled down the steep path leading into Tikaboo Valley and took a swig from the cheap red wine he’d bought from a nearby gas station. Almost immediately a flush crept up his neck and warmed his cheeks. He’d just been fired for the second time this month. He wasn’t sure what had brought […]
