Two things on the agenda today: promote Trinity and hype the Con. I'd like to say Trinity is selling like hotcakes, but more than half my sales are digital, so I guess they are akin to selling like savory pictures of hotcakes. Regardless, things are going well. Here's a quick excerpt from the book to …
Recently I sat down to coffee with a friend of mine and after some polite chit-chat about zombies, a life without electricity, and the stupidity of youth he informed me that he was rereading Genesis and he realized that he didn't like Atom. I stared at him over my coffee cup, uncertain as to my …
After a long delay, Trinity is finally available on Amazon. I had trouble sleeping Wednesday night. But as I lay there staring at the tiny sliver of streetlight bisecting the ceiling, I couldn't help but wonder why? At that point everything was done. Everything had been submitted to Amazon. There was nothing I could do …
Three days until Trinity becomes available on Amazon. I'm still elbows deep in formatting. The price will be $15.99 for a trade paperback and $4.99 for the ebook. If I can work it out with Amazon, I plan on running a promotion for Genesis that will hopefully drop the price to .99 for a few …
I know for some parents summer can be a challenging time as they try to figure out what to do with the kids. School is out. Kids are free. But we as parents can't just stop working because the kids are on vacation. Around here I see a few turned loose, but a lot of …
Last night I found myself at a camp-meeting revival service I had not intended to attend. I had the option to walk away, but figured what harm could come from being polite and sitting through a sermon ... other than mosquitos. It is funny how we can find ourselves in positions that make us think …
It's been a while. I have to apologize for that. The past couple weeks have been very productive, but not on the creative front. It is amazing how much time it takes to format a book to get it ready for publication. Fortunately, I made it through that quagmire for a second time and can …
I know everything swings on a pendulum: politics, parenting, fashion, etc. Nothing remains static. Just about everything can be examined and change found throughout history. Except chicken noodle soup, that remains eternal. But the question is, how does that change affect literature? Tracing the path and growth of lit from the earliest examples of epic …
I recently starting reading Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn with my son as a bedtime story. Some of you who have followed my musings for a while know that my son is mildly obsessed with Star Wars. Well, let's just say some issues have arisen. The further we get into the story the …
As I continue down this rabbit-hole of querying, it has really struck me how unique my book is in most sub-genres of fiction and film. Even in general fiction, father-child stories are rather rare. Now I know there are some out there: Lone Wolf and Cub, The Rifleman, or Taken for example. And then there …
