I started out writing Young Adult titles, I think because they were the stories that had the most insistent characters shouting to be heard in my head. I guess that makes sense because kids do tend to be louder than adults. But after writing about 18 novels all but 2 with teens as the main […]

Hello, readers! Here’s a little side project I’ve been working on, headed by the lovely and talented Anthea Sharp. I’ve teamed up with fellow fantasy authors Tara Maya, Jenna Elizabeth Johnson, JL Bryan, Anthea Sharp and Aexia Purdy to create Faery Worlds, an anthology of six full-length, fae-inspired novels.

Search Amazon by character type to find good books!
Want to find a good *fantasy or paranormal* book that has certain types of characters in it (demons, witches, vampires, elves, shifters, etc.)? Follow these instructions and you’ll see, if you scroll down, the ability to search by type of character!! But be aware … very few authors know about this yet, so it might […]
Can shy writers make a living writing books?
I saw a post written by a shy indie writer who is deathly afraid of socializing online. He’s very, very shy. He wanted to know if he can make a living selling books if he’s totally absent from social media of any kind, including even a website. Here was my answer: My first job after […]
Be a participator, not a bystander. We are not just a bunch of people living in isolation … we are a community of readers and writers.
I read this article on Huffpost today titled: “Readers Don’t Owe Authors Shit” (link at the bottom of this post). It made me very sad. So much anger and spite from a reader towards indie authors who ask for reviews from readers and indie booksellers asking for readers to come buy books from them, to […]

Amazon and I Kiss and Make Up
My last post was about my Easter nightmare, when some brain surgeon over on Amazon removed over 700 comments I had made on my book pages and book forums. I just wanted to follow up and give Amazon its due (do??). The folks over at Executive Customer Relations really took care of the problem for […]
The worst April Fool’s joke EVER that wasn’t a joke. Amazon takes me to the mat.
The last 3 days of my life have been pretty much hell. Thank you to all my readers and the other indie authors who reached out to me via Facebook, email, and private message to offer me your support. It really helped. So here’s what happened to me on Easter morning (6:30 am Washington time): […]

In the last few days I’ve added over forty new Likes to my Facebook page. I’m not sure how that’s happening, but I am not complaining. In fact, I’m so excited, that as soon as I hit 1,000 FB Likes, I’m going to have a dance party! Yeah, that’s right. And it’s not just me […]
