It's my birthday month, and I'm kicking off the celebration with a book promotion and a contest. Not only can you get all of my books on sale, you could win a Kindle Paperwhite! My books are all on sale now at Amazon from June 6th - June 13th! Entriss Online is on sale [...]
I’m excited to share a new book cover for Buried in Angst, the second novel in my Angst fantasy series. This fun cover created by my artist Alessandro Brunelli features Angst and Princess Victoria under a protective layer of dirt and stone while the elements Earth and Fire battle overhead. As you can see [...]
It’s kind of a funny story. The cover for my first fantasy novel, Angst, was created by Chevsy, a Serbian artist I found on Deviant Art. He was great to work with, and very patient. Very. There was a little communication barrier, I don’t speak art, and needless to say his English was far [...]
Holy crap what happened to 2013! There I was working hard to complete the rough draft of Buried in Angst and BAM! 2013 came in like a wrecking ball and my creative energies are suddenly focused on cheap, er, thoughtful Christmas presents. (Someone tell my why it’s a faux pas to give pictures of yourself [...]
I had to step away from writing for a couple of weeks because of the day job and am just now shaking off some stress and a few very late nights. The air is pretty sweet now that my head is above water, and I'm looking forward to getting my groove back on. Feeling things [...]
I've got 8,000 Twitter followers now and it's easy to lose people in the mob. I follow those with similar interests, they follow me back, and some of them even try Angst. I actually try to pick out people from the automated messages, try to make friends, but I've lost some along the way. Since [...]
I do a LOT of marketing for my fantasy novels Angst and Buried in Angst, probably more than I should. I enjoy that side of it, and it makes me feel like I'm doing something when not writing. Despite my efforts, Angst has never been an Amazon bestseller. Lately I've been looking for ways [...]
An old friend from high school sent me a nice message on Facebook saying how much he loved my first fantasy novel Angst. My reaction was, of course, gratitude. I haven’t been in touch with him since High School, I didn't know he had purchased it and was happily surprised. The support means everything, [...]
As in indie author who produces a book every 15-20 years (okay, really, it wasn't that long) I was surprised to find a learning curve between the ebook creation of Angst and Buried in Angst. I really wanted to add a map to the Angst books, but it wasn't that easy. [...]
If I could bottle up ConQuesT and take a sip every Monday, my weeks would be filled with dragons, lasers, aliens, and everything else fantastical that makes me happy. The con was that good for all the right reasons - a great staff, solid programming, fun room parties, and amazing guests. Last year, ConQuesT 43 [...]
