So far I haven’t done a whole lot of advertising for my books. This is mostly because I think an author’s time is better spent writing until they’ve got several books out in a series. I’m about to publish the fourth novel in my Driftmetal series, and I’m still not sure I’ll do much promotion until the[…]
I really love Google Drive. I love being able to get on any device anywhere, pull up my latest work, and start writing. It isn’t perfect, but it beats just about everything else I’ve found for its feature set, ease of access, and cloud-based data storage. The longer I use it, though, the more I[…]
It’s been a busy month around here. Lots of writing and book cover design happening. But before we get into that, let’s talk numbers. In August, I had the highest sales of any month so far where I didn’t release a new book or do any advertising whatsoever. I had an 8% read-through rate on[…]

Whenever you see a book’s dialogue described as “awkward” or “stilted,” that might be because the author doesn’t understand the basic qualities of their characters’[…]
Today is the day – the new cover I’ve had commissioned for The Infernal Lands, Book One of the Aionach Saga, goes live today. I’ll be delving into the process behind its creation in a future post, but for now I think it’s enough just to behold the magnificence of the piece itself, created by[…]
