Writing a daily blog is not as easy as you would think, especially during this time of isolation, where every day is pretty much the same. I get up, make my coffee, answer pressing emails, check my e-publishing related numbers and accounts, and then write my blog post. After, I do work stuff for mostContinue reading “Two months at home”

A path forward
I read a great article the other night on e-publishing, and it put things into perspective. It was perhaps the best article I’ve read on the subject. It was free advice with no gimmicks, which was refreshing because the topic is a minefield for scams. I think most writers dream of becoming a best sellingContinue reading “A path forward”
Update on the Bull
Today’s post will be short as I have a lot of day job work to get to, unfortunately. I wanted to provide a quick update on the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series). It’s taking a bit longer than expected, but the novel should still be out this month. I’mContinue reading “Update on the Bull”
Its not all bad
It is another beautiful day! Leaves are popping, flowers are blooming and fat bumble bees keep flying into my living room window. I think everyone needs that cheerfulness as we enter yet another week of isolation. I might even need to mow the lawn today for the first time this season! Although grocery shopping isContinue reading “Its not all bad”
Paperback finally in hand
After more than a month of (impatiently) waiting, the author’s copies of the Island of Stone finally arrived! When you e-publish on Amazon, you can purchase (yes, they are not free) copies of the paperback version at cost ($4.99 rather than the full price of $11.99)- who knows, they may still turn a profit. IContinue reading “Paperback finally in hand”
One month down!
It’s been about a month since I published the Island of Stone, and it’s been quite the journey (don’t forget to leave a Amazon review and comment below, on Facebook, or here!). I wanted to provide you a summary of what has gone on to be completely transparent. After the long process of writing, editing,Continue reading “One month down!”
The question of evil
Yesterday, I spent about another four hours going back over my last chapter in the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 in my Tocharian Gospels series). I’ve been reading over the roughly ten chapters I added to the end of the novel as they are pretty green. I was happy with what I wrote untilContinue reading “The question of evil”
Reviews coming in
I’m working on my sales pitch. Promoting myself is still very new to me, but as an Indie writer now, it needs to be done as no one else is going to do it for me- it’s a blessing and a curse! Reviews for the Island of Stone are coming in, and they’re positive! PeopleContinue reading “Reviews coming in”
The Slaying of the Bull is complete
After a very productive and hectic few weeks, I’ve finished the story for the Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series). I completed the last chapter last night, and at first view, I am thrilled with how the story turned out. It is a worthy ending to this part of theContinue reading “The Slaying of the Bull is complete”
Writing is more than writing
I hoped to finish the final chapter of Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series) yesterday, but my day job was extra busy (got to love Mondays) and just took too much of my day. I did make progress and framed out the direction and feel of the chapter, but nowContinue reading “Writing is more than writing”
