Interview with Bryan Thomas Schmidt
A guest appearance Today I’m happily participating in the blog tour of my friend Bryan Thomas Schmidt, whose novel The Worker Prince debuted this month. Below is an interview with Bryan. When did you decide you wanted to be a writer? I have been creating stories since I was very young. My mother says I never…
Read MoreThe year of IMMORTAL
An anniversary It’s embarrassing to admit this, but we’ve gone one calendar year– and some change– since the official publication date of Immortal and I didn’t even realize it until a few days ago. And it’s been a hell of a year, the kind of year that cries out for a recap of some kind,…
Read MoreI hate editing
I haven’t felt like a writer in months For the past few weeks I have been working on a rewrite – slash – edit – slash – reworking of a novel of mine called Fixer, about which you have likely heard almost nothing because I haven’t discussed it except in passing before now. At the…
Read MoreImmortal review from a Girl Who Reads
A great review You might recall my talking about Girl_Who_Reads in my first blog about the Indie Book Event because she had one of the best stories about her website name I’ve ever heard, and because I did all I could to convince her to read Immortal. Well, she read it. Here’s a little of what…

Read MoreIndie Book Event Random Musings, Part Two
More musings I’m still talking about the Indie Book Event, held last Saturday in New York City. In all likelihood I will not need for there to be a part three, but who knows? As I continue therapy, more things may come back to me. Check out part one here Like a second grader Here…
Read MoreIndie Book Event Random Musings, Part One
A weekend in New York As you are (perhaps) aware, I spent this past Saturday in New York City attending the Indie Book Event. It was tremendous fun, I’d met some people I had only chanced upon previously when online, there was press coverage, and I got very little sleep. It’s this last thing that…
Read MoreIndie Book Event on Channel One
This is far more amusing in context The Indie Book Event got some local coverage on Channel One yesterday. I’m at the table in the back of the room. What’s funny is they showed up to get the background footage during one of the presentations, so there wasn’t anyone visiting the tables. The person I’m talking…
