Adventures in Epublishing: 6 Months In...

I started my epublishing adventure late last summer, but if we want to look at it for sake of official record keeping, my epublishing debut was on November 1st, 2010 with my YA novel, Into the Shadows. My second book, Bloody Little Secrets officially came out May 1st, 2011, 6 months later. I've been at this for 6 whole months and feel I can offer a bit of reflection.

Some of my highlights have

Adventures in Epublishing: April Sales Round-Up

I'm going to approach this month a little differently. In previous months I listed exactly how many sales were from each sales channel. But I think the numbers that really count is how many ebooks vs. paperbacks were sold, overall number sold, and overall earned.

April was an extremely slow month for me. Into the Shadows sales slowed a ton and the only saving grace I had was sales from an

"Harold?" A voice yelled from the back door of the house. "Are you all right out there?"


I jumped, hiding myself behind the closed garage door. I looked down again. Harold appeared to be sleeping on the floor, but I knew better

April Is For #Vampires: Bloody Little Secrets Chapter 1 - Part 2

Glancing back the way I'd come, I could make out some lights in the distance. A house sat on a hill, maybe a half mile away. I needed to get help. I stepped into the shadows of the trees, opposite the area where I'd heard the noise. The most direct route to the house would take me straight through the forest.

And now for a sneak preview at the first chapter of Bloody Little Secrets!


AnChapter 1

I never feared the dark, until I became part of it.

My eyes fluttered open; yet nothing seemed to change. Inky blackness swirled around me. A scream rose in my throat, but I quickly swallowed it. I pressed my eyes closed, hoping that when I opened them again, I'd be able to see something, anything.

April Is For #Vampires: Blade

One of my favorite movie vampire bad asses has to be Wesley Snipes as Blade (1998). The opening scene at the vampire disco is classic and vamp hottie Stephen Dorff is amazing in this as well.

I do remember Blade
