Two weeks left? Or one?
WOOL 5 is damn near perfect. I'll probably be ordering proof copies today, and nothing's stopping me from uploading to the Kindle store and getting that process started. I'm just waiting to hear back from some additional beta readers, and then I'm good to go. So weigh in. Should I bump the date up a [...]

WOOL 5 is Go for Launch
Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a novel. Weighing in at over 57,000 words, this should be enough WOOL to cover you from your chin to your toes. Any hesitation with charging more is gone; I worked my butt silly on this manuscript. It's gonna be a steal at $2.99 (and there's a PayPal button [...]

The New and Improved Molly Series
Well, I've been putting this off for a long time, so it felt good to start tackling the odious task of updating the Kindle editions of the Molly books. It all started with an email from a fan pointing out a typo or two. This set me off on what I hoped would be a [...]
Saturday Stitch and Bitch with Robert Brumm
Joining me for this Saturday stitch and bitch is the up and coming writer Robert Brumm.

Progress on WOOL 5 revisions.
So, you may have noticed the word count bar twitching all over the place lately. That, readers, is the pulse of revisions. I've been through the manuscript three times over the past five days, once each with a series of corrections from three editors/beta readers. The feedback so far has been extremely helpful, and I [...]

Writing isn't my only talent…
…it's just the only one that doesn't make you throw up in your mouth. Here's the story: I love me some Amazon reviews. I suffer from chronic self-doubt, so a positive review gives me the boost I need to keep writing (hint, hint). When the WOOL reviews hit the 80s, I started dreaming of that [...]
It Keeps Growing Back . . .
WOOL 5 is coming right along. I have at least three more passes to make, but I should have them done over the next week and a half. That leaves plenty of time to format the story for Kindle and print editions. I will say this about the swelling size of each entry: it makes [...]
Casting Call!
First of all, let me assure you that the WOOL series is at LEAST forty years from making it to the big or small screen. It'll wait until I'm dead and gone, I'm sure. So this is just a fun fantasy in light of recent contacts regarding media rights. Yeah, you read that correctly. I've [...]
