March 21st, 2023 When you tell people you’re a writer with published books, their response varies. Sometimes, they’re like, “Wow! That’s awesome!” But most of the time they say: “I have a great idea for a book. Can you publish it for me?” I’ll do you one better. There’s an old adage about fish andContinue reading “How I Published My First Book: A Six-Step Process”

Honk If You Hate Me
March 20th, 2023 I’ve been thinking a lot about bumper stickers. I’ve written several times about why folks are more passionate than ever about politics. People are not more political; politics have become less about politics. I have a tremendously annoying habit of trying to understand things. When someone is telling me a story inContinue reading “Honk If You Hate Me”
Because It Kills You
March 15th, 2023 Any ride you survive was worth taking; eventually you’ll take one you don’t. If you’re a normal human who does regular person things (jealous!), you probably don’t read everything I post (and if you’re a weirdo who does, okay, I see you, too). So if you missed it: back at the beginningContinue reading “Because It Kills You”
We Did It! Now Keep Going
March 15th, 2023 You like us! You really like us! First things first: WHOO HOO! I can’t believe how fast we reached our main goal. But we did. And it’s all because of you. THANK YOU. So is this over? Heck no! My heart really wants to reach at least that first stretch goal, whereContinue reading “We Did It! Now Keep Going”
Calling All Artists! Brushfire Fan Art Part 2
March 14th, 2023 Calling all artists! When I was growing up, I was obsessed with fan art pages published in real comic books. It made me feel like, one day, that could be me. In Brushfire: Wave 1, I got the opportunity to have my own fan art page, and in Wave 2 – I’mContinue reading “Calling All Artists! Brushfire Fan Art Part 2”
Review of a Review
March 13th, 2023 Ah, reviews. They can be inconsequential; they can be essential. They can make or break a thing, or deconstruct and remake it again. However you feel about them, they’re not going away. And as much as I hate to admit it, getting a review confirms to me that something I’ve created isContinue reading “Review of a Review”
Big Gains
March 11th, 2023 I woke up this morning to one of the most generous days I’ve ever risen to during a Kickstarter campaign; I had to rub my eyes again. Our numbers literally flipped: we went from being 28% funded to 82% funded, an unheard of gain for us. To say it’s humbling is anContinue reading “Big Gains”
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Review
March 11th, 2023 My interest started when the reviews were strangely good. Then it was massively popular. Then it got nominated for a ton of awards, while the animation industry buzzed, crowed, and purred about it, too. Then my friends swore by its brilliance. And then Peacock added it to their library today. Puss inContinue reading “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Review”

Raising Them
March 8th, 2023 Ugh. I’m going to take a break from a week in which I finally got back my stolen car, nearly two months after the incident, only for it to try to kill me and have to be returned for further repair, to keep talking about my debut novella, Them. In what placeContinue reading “Raising Them”
