I will be cutting back on the daily blogging temporarily. Instead, I will post weekly or biweekly updates. I need to focus on getting the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series) up to snuff and published, and spending an hour (or more) each morning on writing a blog is notContinue reading “Reducing blogs”

The value of feedback
As I mentioned yesterday, I sent out some chapters of the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series) to my launch squad and got some great feedback. When I say great, I don’t necessarily mean that it was accolades for my excellent writing. It was great in that it was honestContinue reading “The value of feedback”
A few more to go
Updates. I’ve sent the first 13 chapters of the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 in the Tocharian Gospels series) off to my launch squad (click on the link for more details) for review and feedback and will deliver more as I work through the book. I’m doing editing in 3 chapter chunks. If you’reContinue reading “A few more to go”
Gift for mom?
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! If you’ve forgotten this special day, you know what would be an excellent gift for mom? Hours of enjoyment reading the Island of Stone available in both Kindle and Paperback 🙂 ! I’ve finished the final read-through of the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 ofContinue reading “Gift for mom?”
Monuments of Stone
I did some housekeeping on this website yesterday. It was time to unveil my path for the next few months. I added two tabs, one for the Tocharian Gospels series and one for the continuation of the Island of Stone story called Monuments of Stone. For those of you that have read the Island ofContinue reading “Monuments of Stone”
Marketing Island of Stone
Things are still moving along with the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels Series). I am on page 545 of 584 of my final read-through- almost there! I will then do a final pass through spell-checker and Grammarly (very helpful tool) just to make sure I didn’t miss anything too obvious,Continue reading “Marketing Island of Stone”
Two months at home
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”
