OR Tossing Random Thoughts into the Void Photo by Ian Baldwin on Unsplash I had a talk with my boss the other day at my “real job.” He asked what the point of Twitter was. He just didn’t get it and thought it was a waste of time. I found myself trying to defend it, trying to come …
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 …

I found another one of Akio's journal entries from just a few weeks before the events in Headless. It's kind of personal, but at this point, he's probably okay with me sharing it. Considering all he's been through, I'm sure a little maudlin complaining about a past girlfriend is one of the least of his …
I did it. I am an official NaNoWriMo winner. I brought in over 50k words in 29 days. I put a knife to the Muse's throat and filled my pen from her opened jugular. On the thirtieth day, I rested. At the end of week three, I was falling behind. In lieu of my …

Photo by Jordan McQueen I’ve been writing every day for a solid week on the sequel to my recently finished novel (as yet to be published, or officially announced) as part of NaNoWriMo.
