Tour Starting Next Week
Okay, so I’ve spent most of this month answering like a billion interview questions. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve explained where the idea for Probability Angels came from or what my hobbies are. The plus side is that Nurture Virtual Book Tourz got me tons of interviews, hence the flood of questions. The downside was crafting each response to be fresh. I didn’t want... [Read more]
This Is This Is My Game
This is This Is My Game (haha…god that’s so confusing to type), a website that my friend Tracy, or @Rolling20s as he’s often referred to on here, has wound up co-running somehow. I don’t remember the full story. There were a lot of proper nouns involved. He approached me about manning a blog over at this new site and we’re giving it a trial run, though it seems like it’s...

Virtual Book Tour in March
I recently booked a virtual tour with Nurture Your Books. For those who don’t know, virtual tours are when you and your book are scheduled to appear on a variety of blogs across the internet during a set period of time. This is sort of like what I try to do myself via cold emailing, but by hiring a professional I get access to a much wider network. And I don’t have to cold email anyone. The... [Read more]
How You Can Help Indie Authors
Here’s a question I’ve been asked a few times in the past month: “Where should I buy your book so that you get the highest royalty possible?” The people asking were new readers who were looking to support my work and my life as much as they possibly could. It’s a lovely sentiment and it makes me warm all over whenever it’s expressed, but here’s the deal. At... [Read more]
The Joy of Research
I’m starting to do research for the third book in the Matthew and Epp series. Technically I research things constantly in a “Look at that guy! Could I use that guy in a story? Did you hear that noise? Maybe I could use that noise somewhere!” sort of way. But recently I’ve started to actually do reading research to prepare for the upcoming books. I need to learn about ancient... [Read more]
Results From the PARPG Play Test
So @Rolling20s and I were finally able to discuss his visit to SCARAB two weekends ago as well as the results of his play tests of the Probability Angels RPG. As I mentioned last week, the whole concept of attending smaller, regional conventions was scrapped. @Rolling20s ended up leaving the convention and driving north to a house full of friends where he was guaranteed a play test. First, I want to... [Read more]
Looking Forward
I was hoping to discuss how the most recent convention/play test/Probability Angels RPG marketing thing went, but it’s getting late and @Rolling20s is still on the road and I won’t be getting a full debriefing in time to write this. Chalk that up to poor time management on my part. I forgot what day of the week it was due to the three day weekend. That counts as poor time management, right? Anyway,... [Read more]
Convention Number Two
Your foot taps nervously on the ice, a light crunch sounding from the ever-present frost sucking onto the floor of the Fortress of Solitude. You’ve spent the last three months of your afterlife inside of this iceberg, but you still haven’t gotten used to it and the cold air molests the back of your neck, your wrists, your face, trying to slither its way into your clothes and freeze you...

The $.99 Price Point in Publishing
There have been a lot of articles recently, and not so recently, about how much e-books should cost. Obviously this will always be up for debate, but over the course of last year somehow Kindle self-publishers landed at $.99 as the correct answer for now. Why $.99? Well for starters that’s the lowest you can go. There’s also a lot of allure in those double digits to the right of the decimal... [Read more]
10 Quick Facts About Korea
In light of the breaking news this week that North Korea’s weirdly androgynous leader has passed away, I thought I would do everyone a public service and put together ten key facts about Korea so you can seem smart without having to wade through all those newspaper articles. Korea is believed to have been written between the years 610 and 632. Contrary to popular belief, Muhammad is... [Read more]
