I have a pretty awesome announcement for all of you. It’s not a huge announcement, like a new book coming out or anything like that. But it’s kind of a big deal for me. I’ve been working on what I thought was going to be a small project but turned out to be way moreContinue reading “Station 86, The Book!”

Cross Training Your Writing
If you’ve been following along with me on Instagram and Facebook this month, you know I’ve devoted some time to writing poetry. I don’t write a lot of poetry, and it’s not good by any means. But I write it. I also write short stories in just about any genre. I write almost everything, evenContinue reading “Cross Training Your Writing”
Like No Time Has Passed
I’ve got this friend that I don’t talk to much. It’s not because we don’t get along, quite the opposite. It’s just that we’re both mad busy. She’s in school, pregnant with her second child, and working. She also lives in Pittsburgh, while I’m stuck in Butler. I have two kids, a full-time job, aContinue reading “Like No Time Has Passed”
Protecting Yourself Online
Writers depend on our computers a lot. You just can’t be a writer these days without a computer and internet access. You don’t the latest or greatest, but you do need a computer with proper internet connection. Which means you also need your freaking computer to not die. Honestly, if you want to strike fearContinue reading “Protecting Yourself Online”
My New Business
I want to take a minute today to let you guys in on a new project I’ve been doing for about a month now. I’ve been pretty vocal about it in my business circles, and you might have noticed the new button above. I started a new business, freelance writing for independent creative types online.Continue reading “My New Business”
Managing Social Media for Multiple Books
I’ve seen a lot of people on my Facebook and other writing groups recently ask the same question. How do I handle social media promotion when I have multiple books to sell? Since I publish two different series, I’m a decent person to ask about this. It’s a pain, I don’t mind telling you. IContinue reading “Managing Social Media for Multiple Books”
Bonus post: Creators on Youtube need our help.
I’m not on Youtube, I’m not a very visual person. I’m a writer, my work is there. But the entertainment industry is evolving all the time. Indie writers are inventing new ways every day to bring our stories to people. We host podcasts, publish blogs, participate in indie cons and countless other things. I myselfContinue reading “Bonus post: Creators on Youtube need our help.”
Creating Comes First
We all know at this point that there’s a lot more to being a writer than just, you know, writing. Promotion takes time, you guys, a freaking lot of time. Cons and signings, events, ads, social media, cross-promotion with other authors. Given half a chance, these activities could take up my whole entire day. IfContinue reading “Creating Comes First”
Are you at B2B Con? I am!
Come see me! And check me out on Facebook as I’ll be updating through the day, and every day of the Con. I’ll also be hosting two (not so hostile) takeovers during the con. On Saturday, I’ll be taking over the science fiction page at 6:00. In addition to some serius science fiction talk, I’llContinue reading “Are you at B2B Con? I am!”
Picking Apart Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog
Have you seen Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog? It’s this awesome film from Joss Whedon. Nathan Fillion was in it, as was Neil Patrick Harris and Felicia Day. I love this movie like nothing else. I learn about writing from everywhere, or at least I try to. So when something comes along thatContinue reading “Picking Apart Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog”
