Writing Update

I'm halfway through my current work-in-progress, a sequel to Double Murders that I started drafting during the summer. That's right, Vic Boyo the doofus detective is back in action, just as confident and clueless as ever. Hard to believe it's been seven years since the first book came out.

Book Review: Small Favor

This year I'm keeping track of what I read. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I'll post a blurb and brief review.

Taking the Plunge

Tackling Amazon ads has been on my to-do list for a while, but I haven't had the mental bandwidth to give it a go. With real life and the day job constantly vying for my attention, not to mention projects around the house, it's been tough to stick to my writing regimen, let alone learn a new skill. Excuses, excuses. The timing for things is seldom perfect. Sometimes all you can do is say enough

Eliminating the Middle Man

As my books drop out of Kindle Unlimited this fall and I start releasing them wide again, I'm going to try something that many other indie authors have been doing for a while now: selling direct. Instead of only offering my work via distributors like Amazon or Draft2Digital who take a 30-40% cut of every sale, I've decided to start using a platform called Payhip that takes a low 5%. It's just
