Smashwords has been around for many, many years. It was one of the first bookstores to cater to the indie publishing scene. In late 2022, Draft2Digital bought Smashwords, which was a smart move, because Draft2Digital is an indie distributor/aggregator. It didn’t have a bookstore front of its own. But now it does. I distribute books […]

Thank you to everyone who has already sponsored the project. You can be assured now that you will get your books and bonuses. If

I’ve never been involved in a Kickstarter project before. I’ve sponsored many of them (oddly, Brandon Sanderson’s infamous mulit-million dollar campaign was not one of them), but never been part of the building of one. It has been a very interesting experience. I learned that there is a lot of work that goes into building

I’ve been silent for a bit because I’ve been working on the next book in the Magorian & Jones series, The Rivers Ran Red. It’s going very well, so far. Last night, I finished writing the big finale, and today I’ll start the wrap up and set up for the last book in the series,

I waited until the whole season of The Rings of Power had dropped on Amazon Prime before watching it, as I do with all TV series I follow. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t eager to see it. On the contrary. I’m one of those people who watches the extended version of Lord of the

Because The Angel Who Wasn’t is novel length, I got to play around with different elements, focus a little on secondary characters, and other fun stuff, instead of getting straight into the story and telling it as succinctly as possible. Some of that fun stuff included introducing a new major secondary character. And one of

You may remember in June last year my announcement that “Touched by Faelight” was included in a new urban fantasy anthology, Street Magic. A year later, I re-published Touched by Faelight as a standalone story. But in the meantime, the editor of the anthology, Lyn Worthen, has won the Best Book of the Year award from

You bitched discussed, I listened. Although there was a large degree of self-interest in switching the Harley Firebird stories to novel length — writing novelettes is a lot harder than writing novels. 🙂 As I mentioned the other day, when I was talking about length, that I would give you a heads-up when The Angel

I always write these posts a little way ahead of when they’ll be published on the site. I’m writing this post the day after typing “The End” on the newest Harley Firebird story, and I’ve been reflecting on the experience. After six novelettes, book 7, The Angel Who Wasn’t, is a full length novel, which changes the
