WARNING: Authors, blurbs can kill…your sales!
I offer this blog post up as a cautionary tale to authors. Especially to self-published authors who don’t have a publisher to tell them, “Um, NO, this is NOT a good idea.” I had to unfriend a fellow author on
Write Your Ass Off: Don’t turn your Alphas into A$$holes.
The post where I rant about “Alpha” heroes who are really assholes, and how to avoid that pitfall in your writing: http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2013/09/dont-turn-your-alphas-into-aholes.html
…and more research.
Just some of the books I’ve picked up over the past couple of weeks for my research for my post-apocalyptic series. Yes, I’ve found the Prime membership for Amazon has already paid for itself. LOL But to be fair, a
Research, research, research.
Took my son to a gun show Saturday. While I was keeping my eye out in case I found a skeet gun I wanted that was within my budget (I did not, unfortunately), even more, I wanted to explore the
Life imitating art: zombies and cyberthreats

Playlist for "Out of Smoke and Ashes" – Triple Trouble 5.

Scrivener: Labels.

Trainwreck in the making — an author arguing with reviewers.
What NOT to do as a writer… http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2013/06/one-more-timedo-not-argue-with-reviewers.html Seriously, do NOT argue with reviewers. I learned this hard lesson early in my career. Believe me, it NEVER ends well, and the author in this case is not only arguing with
Writer Beware: "Review" apps?
Okay, a couple of odd emails I’ve received over the past few days now make sense. I received nearly identically worded emails from different people with requests for reviews based on reviews they’ve seen of mine on Amazon. Um, I
