The Struggle of a Self-Published Author

  There are alternatives to the fully paid version of the concept that is “Self-Published Author” in that it takes more effort than what many people presume is a “self-pay” form of publication.   If you did not know by now, I am a self-published author.   I do not shy away from that, as that is the truth. I publish myself by myself through myself with a little help from programs set up by a company called lulu.   But, the option that seems most obvious is “pay for the package that cleans, edits

Reboot

I have been debating it for quite some time now.   Now I need to settle one last set of questions in my mind. The problem is that I cannot answer them all by myself. I am not the reader of these books, just the writer, editor and publisher.   So I need your help. I need to know what you think about the series "The Were-Dragon" and the idea of rebooting it.   So, if you would like to help me out and have a voice, go take the little poll. If you want to see this series revamped and given a new

Working

I promise, I am working.   Heh.   I have a few extra pieces to work on for Love is Blind (Academia de Diversidad #4). A few things to add into the manuscript for the final internal piece. I need to finish editing the cover art itself. And then it will be ready for publication.   Unhallowed Ground (Necromancer Saga #2) has been completely edited. I am currently waiting for the thumbs up on the artwork for the cover. Then it too will be published.   These two books will be up and ready to publish

New Year's Resolutions

So, here we are again.   I can't believe it was a year ago now that I made my new year's resolutions for 2015.   Sadly, due to the workload of this year, I didn't get around to my goal of publishing 10 books.   That's alright though. It all needs to be taken into stride.   So here's my resolution for 2016.   Finish editing and publish Unhallowed (Necromancer Saga #2).   Finish editing and publish Love is Blind (Academia de Diversidad #4). Same for Lost Clone (#5).   Finish and publish Loose

Statement - Lost Clone

Warning: The following message includes minor spoilers to the story Lost Clone.       If you are undaunted...continue...       If you are sadenned by spoilers to a story, then turn back now.       Just go on to some other post or page...         Still here?       Oh good!       This gives me space to make sure that those who are disgruntled by spoilers are able to turn back.   So here it is.     Lost Clone (Academia de Diversidad #5) is going to be a very mature story.   This is not a new

Reboot of War of the Zealot Empire

It has not gotten so bad that I'm going to take down War of the Zealot Empire, but I have been thinking about this series, with my coauthor.   Andrew Gray and I both feel that this series might need a redo. We went through some crazy stuff while writing it.   Also, we want to put some art into this new rendition, making it a special edition.   This would include Entangled Hearts, Sins of an Empire, Vesuvius' Rise, Fall of the Honor Guard, Vesuvius' Revenge and Return of the Outcast.

Cover Art: Loose Dagger

I had started some art for Loose Dagger (Demigods and Angels #2) but I could not create a satisfying piece. This one needed something special.   I have reached out for a new touch on this particular cover art.   Up to this point, all of the cover arts on my books (aside from A Dragon's Curse) have been done by myself.   This time, I have reached out to Akasha Orzora for a special one.   Go send her some love and encouragement for this piece.

Blogging

I have made up my indecisive mind. I am using this blog here for the important update type stuff. (even though a lot of it is unimportant)   All other stuff like rambling and writing advice will be posted to my blog.   I did a post about consumerism in writing, which centers on Red Dragon as an example. Hope you enjoy.   click here to see the blog post

Art

So NaNoWriMo is coming to an end. And so I close a chapter.   With that, I am changing my attention, from NaNoWriMo to supporting an artist.   Particularly I am changing my focus to supporting a particular artist.   She is professionally known as Akasha Orzora and she is trying her best to sell her prints for a personal goal.   I will not share much, as I am not sure how much she would like shared. I will share more information as this time goes along.   But please, if you could, buy a print and
