I got a nice email from Coffee Time Romance this morning inviting me to submit the answer to a question, which they would then promote in their newsletter. This seemed like a great thing to me, and I wrote out a long answer for them and hit the submit button. Then everything froze and I…
In keeping with the re-vamping of every single thing that is going on in my life as an author, it finally occurred to me that at the end of my books I offer people the chance to sign up for my newsletter in exchange for 4 free books. This is all well and good, but…
I bought “How to Write A Sizzling Synopsis” by Bryan Cohen recently and read it yesterday at a coffee shop, where I had gone because I felt too ill to actually go into the gym even though I’d come into town to do just that. It’s quite a short book, with large text, and normally…
Check out this fantastic bundle of SF/F titles available for 99c over December! https://storyoriginapp.com/…/1ed7f546-d6d5-11e8-81e3-4b0367… My Witch’s Boy is one of them, but there are thirty-four other books to choose from!

So… Anyone who read my blog in the summer will have seen me going through something of an existential crisis. I’m happy to report that (in so far as these things ever go away) it has receded and now I actually have A PLAN. I’ve established my three pen names, and they all have websites…
Murder of a Working Ghost is currently at #27 in all the Kindle store, at #1 in “Traditional Detectives,” and #2 in “Cozy mysteries.” If only that was in the paid lists, but alas, I put it on free for a week to try to boost its visibility. In that, it absolutely seems to have…
You may have noticed there’s a lot of reorganization going on at the moment. Having now become an almost entirely indie-published author I’m trying to get my backlist into order. When I first put out the new versions of my Samhain books, I was doing it as fast as possible, just to keep them out…
This is such a good deal, omg 🙂 I know I mentioned it on the 1st of October, but today is my designated day when I’m supposed to share it, so for anyone who missed it last time, this is a bundle of 17 SF/F novels being given away for free. You don’t have to…
Heya, all! One of the things I’ve been turning over during my slight crisis following Samhain’s collapse and the scandal at Riptide has been what to do with myself now. There was a brief period where I considered giving up writing altogether. But then I thought ‘no, dammit. I’m just going to have to make…
One of the things I’ve done an awful lot of recently was to read “How to be a self-published author” self-help books. The most recent was Marketing the Romance by Liam Livings. All of them seem to be in agreement that it’s important to market by genre. People buy by genre. Even people who like…
