I went into a big long stinkin’ deal about how and why I wrote this story over at my blog, if you’re interested.  But it’s mostly writer stuff, so don’t read it if you don’t want the writer stuff. But now, presenting… My Mom Ate My Homework by De Kenyon Available at Smashwords, B&N, Amazon.com, and more. This […]

I have a new story up, under another pen name.  I hadn’t planned to whip this name out until I got YOUR SOUFFLE MUST DIE out, but it really is that same sensibility.  Sam from YSMD is shinier…but just as violent, underneath it all. So: People Juice by Diane R. Thompson  (available at Smashwords, B&N, Amazon, and more) If there’s one thing that

I have a new article up at Indie Author News: There’s a lot of good advice I didn’t take because I didn’t understand it at the time. Granted, taking advice before I’m ready for it isn’t smart–like taking the training wheels off my bike before I have a sense of balance. But now I have those

If you buy an Amazon copy but need an additional file format, contact me

Pikes Peak Library District is calling out big publishers about not providing library copies of ebooks…or charging over $100 a copy…or only letting the library check out the book 26 times before they charge the library for a new copy.

What what what?  Why didn’t I know that National Library Week was coming up?  Because I’m an ungrateful wretch, that’s why.  Pass the word on! You remember when you were a kid and the only place you could get book (aside from Christmas, maybe) was the library?  Yeah. At Pikes Peak Library District, check out

Available at Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, more to come… Ebooks 101: Beginning Formatting by DeAnna Knippling I put together an ebook based on the Formatting 101 class I taught for Pikes Peak Writers in February…adding screen shots, step-by-step instructions, templates, checklists, and more.  This is the formatting ebook you want if you want

I am so wiped out this week, and still trying to understand the effects of all my messing around wtih Alien Blue over the last few weeks, so I’ll sit on the updates for that for a bit.  Also, I’m going to be tied up next week, so posts here may be, um, a bit scanty until
