Upcoming Release

Today, I’m pleased to share an interview with Conny Manero, author of the upcoming RHP release of DEBBIE. I think many readers must already know that you’re an animal lover, Conny, but perhaps many don’t realize that the star of your upcoming book was one of your pets. Can you tell us a little about [...]

Just a Quickie!

AMAZING interview coming tomorrow with CONNY MANERO, author of the upcoming release, DEBBIE! But, in the meantime, you can read the first chapter of REDUCED on its website: Reduced the Novel

Okay, just to make this perfectly clear...

Reblogged from mishaburnett: I have just redone the the front page of The Fauxpocalypse Project to make it absolutely clear that what I am looking for is submissions for a collection of short stories. Please, check it out and let me know what you think, either here or there. Thanks.

Character Interviews

Reblogged from Charlotte Howard: I've never really been one to write character profiles before. With SEVEN DIRTY WORDSI wrote the story, and then made mini-profiles as I was editing, to ensure there were no gigantic plot holes. Whilst writing Four Letter Words however, I've found it almost necessary to write more extensive profiles for them, [...]

You Can Write but You Can't Edit

Reblogged from The Lone Writer: Shannon Yarbrough: I hate editing. And I fully admit I've done it the wrong way before. Most indie authors have. My first book was not professionally edited. Years ago I would have sympathized with the poor struggling writer who just wants to get his book out there -- not anymore! [...]

RHP Funding

Here’s the deal: it’s crunch time. Down to the wire. Whatever euphemism you care to use, we have got to raise some dollars, folks! Nearly three weeks ago, I put up a crowd-source funding campaign on Indiegogo. I was asking for $10K. Sure, that’s a lot of money, but the point of crowd-sourcing is that [...]

Never Underestimate the Power

…of a pissed-off writer. That was a Facebook status yesterday. And today, I’m going to tell you why this is a bad idea. My dad died in 2001. In April 2005, we discovered that his widow was prepared to sell the family farm. OUR family farm, not hers; not even my dad’s, although he’d acquired [...]

There and back again

Reblogged from mishaburnett: Okay, so I am back in town and back to work. It was a fun trip, and I actually ended up learning some useful things about riverboats that I can use in Cannibal Hearts. (Gonna have to rewrite some--riverboats don't have "belowdecks"--they don't draft enough. The engine room is actually above the [...]

Why I Chose Rocking Horse Publishing

Reblogged from Charlotte Howard: Over the past couple of weeks, one of the questions I've heard the most (apart from "What are the Seven Dirty Words?") is why did I choose to go with Rocking Horse Publishing, a relatively new publisher, when I was given offers from publishing houses that were already established, and better [...]

Hey, Congress and Other Political Folks…

Reblogged from Midwestern Mom's Musings: I may not have an advanced degree in finance, mathematics, business, law or political science, but I do possess some common sense. And common sense says leaving your workplace for a long weekend is not the way to resolve any problems and get a task completed. One of the first [...]
