Because I want you to read them
Why would an author give a book away? Why would he he do it permanently or over long periods of time? Won’t that devalue his brand and work? I must admit it does still strike me as a little crazy, this giveaway thing. But a part of me loves it. Maybe it’s because it helps […]

Driven to Write musings from my morning commute
I find few things in life as frustrating in their wastefulness as grinding along in gnarled traffic. I had one of those experiences this morning. Instead of muttering about it, I turned the long moments into an opportunity for reflection and self-expression. We flow along rivers of concrete and steel; We the successful, ground to […]

Always a Work in Progress
If it is true that we are all works in progress, the writer never ceases to have a #WIP going. Now that I’ve completed 4 episodes of the Tracking Jane series, and though I have a fifth one rattling in my brain, I am going back to some unfinished business in my Our Cyber World […]

Writing Rules: some breakage may be required
Sometimes we over-talk about this rules-based stuff. Why? I think it’s easier than talking about what really matters. Don’t get me wrong. Let me get this out right up front. Rules are important to make sure we don’t hurt ourselves and others. I like rules and the purpose they serve. I really like rules that […]

How writers keep it rolling, philosophically speaking
Why do we write and how do we keep it going? To answer this question, let’s build on Descartes’ “I think therefore I am.” OK, that proves, at least to ourselves, that we exist. In turn we write because we exist: we cannot not write (Ha, take that! Double-negative!), because the mere fact of existing […]

Introducing Tahoe-1, episode 3 of the Tracking Jane series
A writer’s work is never done. I’m finding this particularly true of my Tracking Jane series. Now that Waiting for Shadow is out, I can focus on editing and putting the finishing touches on Tahoe-1. By way of intro, I’ll leave you with a snippet of Chapter 1 (still in draft, so it may change!), […]

Waiting for Shadow going perma-free
Waiting for Shadow, as a prequel to the Tracking Jane series will soon gohas gone permanently free (a.k.a. perma-free) everywhere it’s sold. I’ve decided to do that as both a gift to my readers and to provide an introduction to the main part of the series. Notice I said “soon.” While Waiting for Shadow is […]

When the side story becomes the main story
Sometimes, when you’ve been doing something for a while, even something you enjoy, you need a break. This became the case for me two months ago, when after working hard on the Our Cyber World series, I got the idea to write a short story about a wounded Army dog handler and her wounded German […]
