With GENERATION SHIP coming out in just about a week, I thought I’d address a question that I get a lot. A lot of well-meaning people say “We’d love to support your book. What’s the best way to do that?” It happens enough that I thought I’d put it into a resource where I could...

Here’s the post where I lay out everything I earned from publishing in 2022 with enough explanation to make sense of it. I did a money post at this time last year as well, which you can see here, that talks a little bit about how year to year income isn’t always the best indicator...

There’s this idea in publishing that you have to be lucky to become successful, and I think that’s true. There are so many factors beyond the control of the author. There are really good books that never find their readership. There are mediocre books that definitely do (and no, I’m not going to name them....

I find myself posting less and less on Twitter, and I haven’t really had the motivation to invest in a new social media platform. Most of my writer thoughts are now shared on Discord, which is nice because I like the people on there, but limiting as it’s only a select group of folks. But...

There’s a lot going on with my next novel, Generation Ship, so I thought I’d write a quick post to keep you updated. First off, we have both a publication date and a cover. The book will release in all formats (Audio, E-Book, and trade paperback) on August 22, 2023. The artwork on the cover...

I’ve been away from the blog for a bit, mostly because I haven’t had a ton to say, but also because when there are competing demands on my writer time, it’s probably the least productive use of said time. There’s a lot going on, and I’m probably not supposed to talk about most of it....

Having attended AtomaCon this weekend in Charleston, I have some thoughts to share about small SFF conventions that have writer’s tracks, and why they can be a good option for authors at a lot of different places in their development. Before I dive in, let me give the caveats. Yes, there are cons that are...

I share some insider things about interacting within the publishing environment.

I’ve been thinking about this post for a while now. I wasn’t sure if I was going to write it or not. One wise person told me that if I did, I was going to get dragged all over the internet. And perhaps I will. Or perhaps I’m overdramatizing. I’m a writer. It’s in my...

With the news on changes at Twitter, we’re already seeing changes to writing twitter. I’ve seen a number of announcements by people who are leaving. Ironically, that’s the most Twitter response ever — that call to act immediately or you’re #NotDoingYourPart. I’m not leaving Twitter today. And it’s not because I don’t think what is...
