Wednesday Weekly Roundup

That sale I had last year at the anthology workshop? It’s one of them! I have no idea of when it will actually land in your inbox, so you better go grab your Halloween Spectacular Calendar! It makes a great gift too! Here’s how it works: Every day, starting on October 25, 2021, and running […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

First big announcement: new title, yay! Book 2 of the Ghost Bus Riders is now out on all retailers! Stay tuned for Book 3… (and again, since the new WP dashboard doesn’t collaborate, head for the publisher’s page to read the blurb, thank you). Kickstarter chapter is closed, with a hundred more thanks to those […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

And the Kickstarter stress is over, yay! And it funded at the last minute, thanks to a very special person! Now I’ll be busy preparing the rewards, so even less time for writing this week, but I’ll catch up – I’m between projects anway, LOL! Maybe next year I’ll do another, for a different series. […]

Sunday Surprise

With fiction, the reader wants to escape their life and you’re offering them a way into this other world. Those readers often become loyal to your brand over time. So when this question comes up for you, it is usually at one of two different points in your life. If you haven’t written anything yet, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

This week’s big announcement is… publishing news! Please welcome my latest baby, first of three that will come out in the coming weeks! And since the WP dashboard is fighting me, check the blurb on the publisher’s page, sigh. For now there’s the ebook only, I’m waiting for book 2 and 3 to come back […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Big announcement first, right? Well, my first Kickstarter is now LIVE! Go check it and give it some love, or share it with your friends! 🙂 I’m quite excited about this new adventure and I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed preparing it. It’s a new experience and I look forward to […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote less than 6K, only one story instead of two, and spent the weekend working on the strip, so I can get it out of the way and give the laptop to Techie Bro and see if he can fix the printer problem. I have reached 300K this year anyway, so I’m […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 11K+ on assorted shorts and will continue to do so this week, so I have some stuff ready for Mighty Editor the first week of September! 🙂 Covers are also almost ready, I’ll probably work on them next weekend, just in case. Next week and the following week I’m off DayJob, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week was mostly editing week and not much writing was done, although I did manage a short story I plan to send to an anthology that will open at the end of the month (under 5K/week). I’m probably staying in this urban fantasy setting until the end of the month, and then in September […]

Sunday Surprise

I consider there to be very few Actual Truths in writing, in storytelling, in making cool shit — but this, I think, comes as close to Actual Truth as I can muster. Every story has one original thing about it. And that original thing is You. That sounds like some goofy-ass self-help shit, I know, […]
