I’m Rollin’ With Tatiana and Carlos!

After months of searching for the right cover designer, I’ve decided to go with the talented people at Vila Designs, a team which won a Swirl Award for Best Cover in 2012. They’re going to handle my ebook formatting this time around and Tatiana and I have agreed upon what I believe will be an […]

Buy This Book!

I just finished All Hell the new novel from Allan Burd and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.  As I posted on Burd’s site, the thing I enjoyed most about his book is that Silas Hill’s dwarfism is not a central theme of the book. Silas is not a dwarf hero, he’s a […]

Does God Hate Dwarfs?

I was reading Little People by Dan Kennedy last night and a particular passage made me stop and consult my Bible. “Consider the Book of Leviticus, in which God himself forbade dwarfs — not to mention anyone who was blind, lame, deformed, had scabs, or had even suffered a ruptured testicle — from serving at his […]

Walking Tall by Peggy O’Neill

Just stumbled across a great documentary by motivational speaker, Peggy O’Neill. Very inspirational.

Happy Birthday Jourdan

Despite being unfamiliar with this […]

Why No One Tosses Dwarves

I don’t mean to make light of a serious issue. I also recognize that someone has already googled all of the dwarf tossing stories on the web and is prepared to flame me in the comments section.

My first radio ad went live today

At this point in the life cycle my writing career, the best thing for my work is exposure across different media outlets.  I don’t think that a ton of marketing can replace good writing, but I do agree with Imaro creator Charles Saunders that people have to be aware of your work. As a result, […]

Busy, busy, busy!

I hope you all enjoyed Belinda Jolley’s guest blog last week on why she writes. Belinda really helped me out by doing the guest blog as I had several things going on last week. This business is grueling especially when you first get into it. I believe firmly in loyalty and so I was more than […]
