Tuesday Thoughts: Unofficial Reviews
There could be many reasons for this reader to have stopped reading my book, and if they are reading this, thanks for giving me something to write about today, and I sincerely hope that you were interrupted just as you were ready to dive in to my first sci-fi novella. I was told that about … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: Unofficial Reviews

Music Monday Nov. 7: Arkells
There is a radio show on CBC here in Canada that occasionally does a feature called SYNTH: Songs You Need To Hear. Now, I can't say to someone, "You'll like this song" (or book for that matter) because I can't presume that others will share my taste in music (or books), so it is safer … Continue reading Music Monday Nov. 7: Arkells

Weekend Wrap-up Nov 5: One Billion
What would you do if you won $1000000000? Buy 0.02% of Twitter? Probably not. Everyone dreams of winning the lottery—well maybe not everybody, but a lot of people would like to. It would make life easier—and possibly more difficult to have that amount of cash. Which brings me to my point. With such massive jackpots, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up Nov 5: One Billion

Free Book Friday Nov 4: NoNaNoWriMo (updated)
If I haven't said this to you before (and I know I have), I'm a slow writer. My first attempt at writing 1600 words/day failed, but as a consolation prize, I did get a novella out of it which turned into a trilogy, or more accurately, is turning into a trilogy. So, while I am … Continue reading Free Book Friday Nov 4: NoNaNoWriMo (updated)

Weekend Wrap-up Oct 29: Time? Who has that?
I haven't had much time to blog/write this week—or this month for that matter. I am frantically trying to finish the finally book of my sci-fi trilogy—Frantically? Really?Well, maybe not frantically, but I'd like to to be complete before the end of the year.What about participating in NaNoWriMo?That's too much pressure, but I do try … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up Oct 29: Time?

Free Book Friday Oct 28
The story behind Free Book Friday: I've met many authors and readers during my time marketing, cross-promoting, and blogging.
