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 after… Continue 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, to… Continue Reading
How I Write So Many Books: My System, A Theory, and a Few Random Thoughts
I’ve had several people ask me how I’ve written so many books (18, all but 2 over 85k words) in such a short period of time (15 months), and I’ve answered the questions as they’ve come up. But I was thinking that maybe it would be worth posting a blog article about it, so people… Continue Reading

Why does everyone hate clichés so much?
Clichés. I like ‘em dammit. My book WRECKED has a few reviews that say the story is “cliché” or some of the characters are or whatever. It’s obviously a downgrade in these people’s minds. But why? We all went to high school. Or those of us who weren’t home-schooled did. Did you all have the… Continue Reading
Wise Words from … Me. Discussing the state of publishing today with an agent.
I wrote a comment on a well-known blog one day a couple months ago, giving my opinion about the role of agents in the publishing world. Just after it happened, I was contacted by the agent who wrote the blog article who wanted to get my thoughts on the matter, and we had a nice… Continue Reading
