Ask Me Anything About Self-Publishing!

Here’s your chance to ask me any questions you have about self-publishing your work. Whether you’ve come upon this post due to my talk to the Virginia Retired Teachers Association, or are checking it out from my Twitter or Facebook links, welcome! Ask me anything (AMA) about book publishing services, getting a cover made, making book trailers, using social media for promotion, or any other topic related to succeeding with your own book.

Please leave a comment with your question(s) and I will...

Another Kind of World-Building

Fantasy writers spend considerable time visualizing the way their fictional worlds look and work. We think about environments, social customs, what people (or creatures) eat and what they wear. As I was putting together costumes for Dragon Con 2015, I realized that actually building a helmet or a weapon was teaching me as much as researching similar items. Reading about these pieces and looking at reference photos only gave me a taste of what it might really be like to own, wear, carry and us...

City of the Gods: Ambassador – Release Date Change

We are pushing back the release of City of the Gods: Ambassador into 2016.

I don’t enjoy announcing this, but after discussions with the rest of the team we felt it was time to acknowledge that the odds were too long to complete and print the book by December 31st. The time and talents of our artist, Steve Crompton, have been and continue to be tied up on other projects. I, too, have had to dedicate most of my free time to bringing money in through other work. So, sadly, we have to “get real”...

Choose Your Own City of the Gods Adventure

The Grand Pyramid of Egyptos

In the spirit of kicking off summer fun, I created a short text adventure set in the City of the Gods. You can play it online for free by following this link to textadventures.co.uk .

The game serves as brand new background content for City of the Gods Universe readers as well as an introduction to the City for people unfamiliar with the books. Please share the game link widely so that we can grow our fan base. The game is totally free, and can be played on any plat...

New Facebook Fan Page

At long last I have created a presence for myself on Facebook. While FB is far down the list on my favorite flavors of social media, many people like it the best and, after all, this page is for them. So, if you are a Facebook user, I’d be grateful if you stop by and give me a like. Just click on this Facebook icon to find your way.

A Weekend in an Alley

One dismal, cool, rain-filled weekend in Richmond, Virginia, I spent three days in an alley — RavenCon’s Artist and Author Alley, to be precise. There was no better place to be! The con staff was great, the fans were friendly, and I had a great time talking to everyone about their work and my own. I wasn’t able to get away from my table to attend any events or panels, but I do have a few photos to share. There will be additional images appearing for my Patreon supporters later this week.

Spring Cleaning and Reorganization

First of all, I’d like to say “thank you” to all my long-time blog readers and “welcome” to new visitors who are finding these pages through other websites and social media. As my plans for future releases have solidified, I have realized that a bit of tweaking is needed to make wynnmercere.com a little more user friendly.

For the last three years, anything connected to my work has been covered in this main post stream. Now that I am branching out from the City of the Gods Universe into other...
