Huffington Post Article on the Death of Print
A Well-Worn Subject As I was looking through the Huffington Post Books page last week, wondering what to write about next, I came across an article by a fellow blogger there (I’m not going to link to it) that annoyed me. The point of the article was that print will never die because the author…
Read MoreHellenic Immortal on tap
I have heard you I’ve been getting a lot of very specific feedback from my Immortal readers along the lines of, “when is the sequel coming out?” and “that sequel, it’ll be coming out soon, right?” and the occasional, “where the fuck is the sequel?” To which my answer has been: it’s finished. And I don’t…
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 MoreRinging in the New Year
It has been quite a year I have a bad habit of focusing on things that haven’t happened yet rather than stepping back and looking behind me at what has been accomplished. This tunnel vision quality is sometimes very useful, such as when I’m writing a novel, but maybe less useful in other settings, such…
Read MoreMerry Writer's Christmas
Riting iz easy A while ago a distant relative of mine contacted me with some questions as to how he might go about making a living as a novelist. He was not at that time a writer, but liked to read and thought it might be a good way to make a living. I didn’t…
Read MoreImmortal on Amazon Kindle
Ebook challenges part two Yesterday I dove back into the Ebook fray for two reasons: Immortal was still not set up on the Kindle; and we’d gotten back feedback from Smashwords on the ebook version we’d uploaded that required addressing. As you know, I had issues reformatting Immortal to accommodate the Smashwords Style Guide, but…
Read MoreOn genres
[Note: This article was originally posted as a guest blog at Indiependent Books. See it here. Comments welcome.] Anomaly I’d like to talk today about genres, but before I do that let me begin with one large caveat: I am very good at doing things the wrong way and getting away with it. For example,…

Follow the link below to order your copy! IMMORTAL on Amazon Some details The listing is imperfect, and because this is Amazon, changes are going to take a…
Read MoreImmortal: a short delay
Publishing is F-U-N! I held off on formally announcing this for as long as I could, but it looks as if there is going to be a delay in availability for Immortal. How big? Five or six days. Not big, in other words. But since I’ve been touting the very entertaining 10-1-10 release date for…
Read MoreWhile we're waiting
That hiss you hear is my head imploding slowly Officially, Immortal is out at the end of this week. I say “officially” only because there are things that have to get done in a certain order for the release to actually happen entirely on schedule, and since they haven’t all happened yet, my cynical “I’ve…
