“The Paraclete” now on BizCatalyst360

The kind folks at BizCatalyst360 just published my The Paraclete, an excerpt from my forthcoming The Shaman.

The Alibi (A John Chance Mystery) – Chapter 1 (Redux)

I’ve mentioned a few times how much I work to nail down the opening of whatever I’m working on.

Would like your feedback on a marketing effort, please

Boy have I got a deal for you! I wrote a blog post about an ex-publisher who sent an email with that as the subject line.

Sometimes things get away from me. Case in point, the kind folks at BizCatalyst360 published my Intention, Part 1 back in late Feb ’23 and I forgot to mention it here. I’d offer “I’ve been busy” and while true it’s…well, not exactly an excuse, more a demonstration of prioritizing – which I suggest people do … Continue reading "“Living with Intention (Intention: Part 1)” now on BizCatalyst360"
