Blog Tour: The Literary Soundtrack interview
Interview with Gene and Adam I had a lot of fun doing this interview, with The Literary Soundtrack. First, I love talking about music, as anyone who has been locked in a car with me and my iPod can attest to. Second, Adam showed up to answer one of the questions. Stop by The Literary…
Read MoreAssociated Content Review–IMMORTAL
Associated Content A new review posted this afternoon for Immortal… Immortal is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy adventure with a sense of humor.

Read MorePromoting in a social media world
Leading horses to water Promoting a novel can be extremely challenging, and in ways that are different from promoting a website or a toy or a machine that goes *ping* at regular intervals.

Read MorePromoting Immortal
The month in summary It has been quite a good month for Immortal, the little novel that could, but only after six years of couldn’t.
