Star Wars, John Carter is your father!
During this year’s Super Bowl, I saw a commercial for a movie that intrigued me. In many ways, the movie reminded me of such films as Avatar and Star Wars. As I watched the commercial with friends, one of them mentioned that it was based on a series of books that he read as a … Read more
Earning My Keep
Recently, Dean Wesley Smith posted his thoughts on a pricing structure for ebooks. The article is a great read, and explains the reasoning behind his pricing.

Read an E-Book Week March 4-10, 2012
In case you haven’t heard, March 4-10, 2012 is read an e-book week. If you live in Canada, it’s even better because they have devoted the entire month of March to reading e-books. Wow!

Near the end of November, just after I finished and published Fram Gage and The Infinite Ability under the pen name Desmond Shepherd, I began writing the … Read more
In the Battle of Mice and Men – Man Will Win!
There’s nothing worse than coming to the realization that mice have decided your house is a great place to stay. I can’t argue with them on that matter because I like where I live, too. The problem is I didn’t invite them and I’m not to fond of freeloaders! Now I’m on a mission to … Read more

Last month, Jeff Ambrose and I had an agreement. We would not check our sales in December, instead waiting until January 1, 2012 to do so. If either of us checked during the month, that person had to write a guest post on the other person’s web site. I caved first, lasting only two days … Read more
