In fact, a personal friend of mine ran a Kickstarter campaign a year ago, aiming to raise $4000 to write his novel designed [...]

Author Spotlight: Brad Fleming
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: one of my favourite parts of being an indie author is how so many people come together knowing that all the boats float higher when the water rises (or some cliche like that). To that end, it is with great pleasure I welcome to the blog [...]

New Release! The Invitation (The Lady Corsairs Part 1)
When my wife suggested that we write an erotica serial together, I was both excited and a little nervous.

I Didn’t Expect This…
As some of you may already know, my wife is a burlesque performer. In fact, in our little corner of the world, she is a bit of a big deal. She’s been in the paper more times than I can count, on posters, radio and TV…she’s pretty recognizable. As such, it’s not unusual for her [...]

Thoughts on Promo for Indie Authors
One of the things I love in reading other author’s blogs is when they share stories of the road they travelled to get to where ever they got. Since I enjoy reading them, I thought it was time for me to do the same…hopefully some of you can find something useful in my experiences. It [...]
