Do you ever feel like someone slipped an invisibility potion into your morning cereal? I think it's happened to me this week. Texts have gone ignored, emails unanswered, phone calls unreturned. Maybe it's more like an unimportance potion, where anything coming from you just doesn't feel relevant. An irrelevancy potion. Every artist's deepest fear. The …
[Photo by Savannah Walters on Unsplash] I love reading. It is such a part of who I am that it seems silly to even mention it. But apparently there are a lot of people out there who don't. That always surprises me, though at this point in life, it probably shouldn't. I read a fair amount in 2017, and …
Photo by Andrea Boldizsar on Unsplash. I haven’t written much about the sequel to Headless here. In fact, I think the only thing I’ve mentioned is that I am writing one. I actually haven’t told ANYONE what it’s about yet. Not even my wife. Not even my brother. Both of whom I share just about everything with. I …
Photo by Steve Halama on Unsplash Just a quick update today. I have added a Now page to my site. This is a simple page where I can put what I'm working on and thinking about right now. It also has my current reading list. The idea is Derek Siver's and he has a site dedicated to it …
OR How to Not Be a Moron Photo by Brad C. Wilcox It still baffles me how utterly clueless people are sometimes. I was just looking at a book on Amazon, and there was a one-star review that said, “I thought I was ordering a paperback.” That’s all it said. Because this person was too …
or How to Put Your WordPress Blog into Your Squarespace Site. Photo by Andrew Furlan on Unsplash So…I know it may be hard to believe (not) but I sometimes do really stupid things that make life much harder than it should be. I started my Squarespace site because of the release of my first book, and I wanted …
Headless is probably on it. It's now available on just about every e-reader and most e-book platforms. Several more than it was before actually, and some I had never heard of. In publishing terminology this is called going wide. I tried going exclusive with Amazon Kindle for three months to see what all the hype was …
Today Headless goes on sale on Amazon UK for the Kindle ebook at only £0.99. If you are in the land of knights and chivalry, crumpets and clotted cream, haggis and bagpipes, please know that I wish I was too, and pick up a copy of Headless! I love the British Isles. It’s where my …
photo by Montse Monmo So far, my KDP Select experience for Headless has not been great. In fact, it hasn't even been good. I did a Kindle Countdown Deal in the US, along with a some Facebook and Instagram advertising, and made three sales. Three. And I’m pretty certain those sales were from people I actually …
photo by Sergey Zolkin Instead of working on the sequel to Headless today, I got bogged down in the wisdom that I should be posting on my blog at least once a week. According to Hugh Howey, it should be every day! Add to that the fact that I have somehow ended up with two …
