Diving Toward Inspiration I’m off on a little adventure of my own this week: Scuba diving! But I’m not alone. This trip I’m with my brother (yes, the same brother I’ve mentioned several times here and the one Guardian is dedicated to.) The timing of the trip almost coincides with that book’s release, although that wasn’t by […]
Comparing Two BookBub Featured Deals As many of you know, I’m a scientist, and scientists like to experiment. Even with non-sciencey things. My latest book-related experiment was a BookBub featured deal. Now that I have had two for different books at different stages of their literary lives, I can compare and contrast the results. My […]
My Fort Collins Comic Con Experience (as an author/vendor) In my quest to start doing in-person events as an author, I opted not to go with the traditional book signing at a store, but instead jumped right into a local comic con.

And I’m […]
And the next SPFBO begins… Today marks the official start to this year’s self-published fantasy blog-off (SPFBO) competition. I’m not participating this year, but I plan to follow the contest as it progresses. So, what is SPFBO? It’s a contest hosted by the very generous Mark Lawrence for self/indie-published books, specifically in the fantasy genre. […]
BookBub and My Recent Featured Deal I didn’t know about BookBub when I first published Hunted back in 2020. Honestly, I didn’t know about a lot of things back then, but I was determined to learn as much as I could about advertising and marketing. I’m still learning. I joined a number of Facebook groups […]
