• Indie Authors Plan – the Reading Gods Laugh

  Indie authors plan – the reading gods laugh. An indie author can only cast a wide net. The problem is that there is no way to know how many readers will be caught in the net’s webbing. Sometimes it’s a great haul. Sometimes it’s a rusty can and an old boot. Is there anything less…

• Overtaking my own novel

  Put this in the every increasing fat file folder called “I still don’t know what I’m doing as an indie author.” Release dates for novels. What’s really the best? Here’s the spacing of my three novels: December 2012 October 2013 July 2014 Is that good spacing? Bad spacing? Could have it been improved? Could it…

• One Year as an Indie Author!

  On December 5, I celebrated an anniversary of sorts: the one year anniversary of the release of my debut novel, Beauty Rising. It also marks the one year point of jumping into my second career as an indie author. It’s been an incredibly fun and rewarding year. I’ve learned a lot of lessons, spent a lot…

• As Thankful as an Author

  As a person, a father, a husband – I have so much to be thankful for. If I never sell another book in my entire life it wouldn’t affect my happiness or life fulfillment. But as I approach my first Thanksgiving as an indie author, this writer also has a lot to be thankful for.…

• Are you finding time to write?

  Today is one of those days I just want to create. I’ve been working and promoting and directing drama and doing everything else in the world I usually do except doing the one thing I really want to do: write. Indie writers have seasons. I know that. There are always competing demands to juggle. But…

• Is a novel worth more than one song?

  I was looking to purchase a song off of Amazon the other day and noticed the purchase price of $1.29. It immediately struck me odd that at that moment, my novel, Beauty Rising, is selling for only $.99. Is a song really worth more than a novel? What if it’s a terrible novel and a…

• What are Traditional Publishers doing to Promote their Talent?

  Every once in a while, I like to look at books or authors on-line and try to determine what marketing and promotion approach that they are taking.  I like to see how well their books are selling and try to guess why they have or have not been successful. I came across an author I…

• Plugging Away on Novel #3: How much time between releases?

  Summer break for a teacher. Is there anything better in the world?  It has been great to finally have time to write. I’m currently working on novel #3 even though novel two hasn’t even been released yet. It’s a little trick I like to have up my sleeve. Have the next one complete before I…

• The Two Lives of a Book

  When writing a novel, I get so caught up in my characters and the plot-line, that it takes on a life of its own. It becomes a little part of me, a part that I cherish and grow to like and mold day by day as I write. Part of what I love is the…
