I recently researched the future of book publishing and was downright startled by what I found. I talked to agencies and publishers alike and found news articles and marketing reports on book sales and stores. Apparently, the printed book, like the full length music CD you used to be able to buy in music/record stores, is more or less a thing of ( Read more... )

I must insist everyone go check out the new "official" website of the Moonlit Wings series. I was waiting for the cover art and since I got that yesterday, I put it up and got the site online. It has everything anyone could possibly want to know about the books. There's sample chapters, the short stories, characters and artwork, author blog, ( Read more... )

I've spent the majority of last week working on putting together the "official" website for my books. Things have come together rather well and I'll probably put it online sometime next month.

"Cemetery Moon" is in, what I hope, its final editing stage. It's been read and re-read at least a hundred times now by a hundred different people and while I wasn't able to do a professional edit like I hoped, I do trust and value the feedback I've gotten ( Read more... )

I'm switching back to Internet Explorer in the near future. Too many websites--including my own sitebuilder, are not compatible with Mozilla Firefox. I liked Mozilla Firefox but more and more websites won't load pages right on it. I've already tried them with IE so I know it's a Firefox thing. The only thing keeping me from doing it right now ( Read more... )

I am meeting with Tony Velarde, the artist who is doing the cover for Cemetery Moon, today. I've drawn a conceptual mock-up of basically what I want the finished result to look like and have compiled bits and pieces from various photographs he can use as reference. I've already told him what I basically need done. He doesn't think it will be too ( Read more... )
