The Ending of the Bull
The Slaying of the Bull is almost there. I am working on the last few sections. When I originally wrote the book, I was very much interested in getting it published the traditional root. To be successful in this endeavor, it meant that I had to keep it around the 100,000-word mark. As it isContinue reading “The Ending of the Bull”
Getting out there
Yesterday, I didn’t write much. For one, it just wasn’t flowing, and there is nothing worse (for my mood and the work) than trying to force it, and another, I was busy trying to find new ways to promote my work. Please keep in mind that this is all very new to me. I useContinue reading “Getting out there”
The Bull is close
I am about 90% through the first pass of the Slaying of the Bull. I haven’t read the story in more than a decade, so I had to get back into it, get used to the characters, and make sure the plot is sound. I know I will need to add a bit to theContinue reading “The Bull is close”
Snow in April!
Just when you thought spring was here in Massachusetts, you wake up to snow in April. Not the most pleasant thing to see first thing on a Spring morning (I’d prefer some warm sunshine), but what a perfect day to curl up somewhere warm and read Island of Stone! Sorry for the tactless plug, butContinue reading “Snow in April!”
Join the squad!
As mentioned in prior posts, I am diligently working on Book 1 of my Tocharian Gospels series, the Slaying of the Bull. The four-book series is going to be quite the endeavor comprised of roughly 1,500 pages of text and covering 780 years. The saga will transcend into other planes of existence and will crossContinue reading “Join the squad!”
The Bull is Charging
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve transitioned to editing The Slaying of the Bull, and it is moving along nicely. It should be done in a few weeks and hopefully will be up on Amazon by the end of the month. It will be Book 1 in the Gospels of Mani Saga, a four-part (orContinue reading “The Bull is Charging”
Late Night Epiphany
I think that I mentioned before that my wife falls asleep almost immediately, but I have a tendency of lying awake thinking for some hours before dosing off. Well, that was certainly the case last night. Before bed, I watched some Youtube videos on Amazon eBook publishing. It is often the advice to publish multipleContinue reading “Late Night Epiphany”
Thorns and Roses
I know people are reading Island of Stone. Amazon allows us to see daily page reads through Kindle Unlimited. It is just a fraction of what’s out there, but watching that number go up each day lets me know that someone or maybe multiple people are reading the book. It’s a nice feeling. I wonder whereContinue reading “Thorns and Roses”
Stormy day
What a perfect day to write. It’s raining right now in Massachusetts with thunderstorms and high winds in the forecast! I have a lot of day-job work to do today, but I am eager to get to my writing. Yesterday, my wife made me take a break, so I did. Although I was bitter likeContinue reading “Stormy day”
