Can shy writers make a living writing books?

I saw a post written by a shy indie writer who is deathly afraid of socializing online. He’s very, very shy. He wanted to know if he can make a living selling books if he’s totally absent from social media of any kind, including even a website. Here was my answer: My first job afterContinue Reading

Be a participator, not a bystander. We are not just a bunch of people living in isolation … we are a community of readers and writers.

I read this article on Huffpost today titled: “Readers Don’t Owe Authors Shit” (link at the bottom of this post). It made me very sad. So much anger and spite from a reader towards indie authors who ask for reviews from readers and indie booksellers asking for readers to come buy books from them, toContinue Reading

Learning Adobe

I’ve been wanting to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop for years.  I’ve started learning Adobe Elements, which is the baby version, and I’m having a lot of fun.  I try not to let it interfere with writing, but it’s hard!!  Creative juices flow and then, well, here I go.Continue Reading

Amazon and I Kiss and Make Up

My last post was about my Easter nightmare, when some brain surgeon over on Amazon removed over 700 comments I had made on my book pages and book forums.  I just wanted to follow up and give Amazon its due (do??).  The folks over at Executive Customer Relations really took care of the problem forContinue Reading

The worst April Fool’s joke EVER that wasn’t a joke. Amazon takes me to the mat.

The last 3 days of my life have been pretty much hell.  Thank you to all my readers and the other indie authors who reached out to me via Facebook, email, and private message to offer me your support.  It really helped. So here’s what happened to me on Easter morning (6:30 am Washington time):Continue Reading
