To prepare for a talk at Pikes Peak Writers’ Conference, I’ve been posting things on my regular website about Indy Publishing. It’s a try/fail kind of thing; however, if you’re interested, the articles are here. I’ve talked about the money I expect to make and about the fact that a LOT of people are pouring […]
I’m going to release Death by Chocolate, a short paranormal romance novel, this week to coincide with the Pikes Peak Writers’ Conference; there will be no June release to replace it, unless I get really stupid ambitious. The new story and DbC should be up tomorrow; look here for weekend coupons. As always, if you
