Actually, I don’t know why it never got published as one.
It was supposed to have been published for both Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook several weeks ago, during my flurry of conversion and publishing, and it certainly got converted to both formats, but it seems that the actual publishing part of that

I’ve been saying this for years.
One of the fundamental problems with the publishing world today is the very existence of the query system. It’s true that this is only one of many problems, and that fixing it would not magically change the current landscape into something I would want to play in, but it would

You’ve heard of “trunk novels,” right?
That’s the novel every author supposedly has in a trunk somewhere, or the deepest, darkest bottom of a desk drawer. It’s the one that never got accepted, and never should have, and after about title #3 or so, the author begins to hope that it never sees print. What would

I have released a second edition of my third novel, Jillian’s Gold.
I’ve never been happy with the cover, and I’ve been pottering away at it in odd moments for several months. Here it is in all its glory:
Doesn’t the sun always come up again?
Dear Auntie May, We

There’s been another surge in the argument about self-publishing, and whether or not it is something that is worth pursuing. It seems to me that most of the arguments against self-publishing begin at the wrong place and proceed in the wrong direction.
It has become extremely commonplace to hear people say that you just have to

Want to know my secret vice?
I read the bridge advice columns in newspapers.
Don’t misunderstand – I don’t play bridge. I’ve never played. My closest friend for thirty-five years now (except for my wife, of course) does play bridge, and he’s tried to explain the game to me from time to time, but when

“The nail that rises up will be hammered down.”
–Japanese proverb
In many ways, this is a hard book to talk about.
Partly, it’s hard to talk about because it’s so easy to read. I go back to the book to get a quote and I get swept up in the sheer

What do you call a short story, a novella, or a novel?
I had an interesting discussion some time back with another self-publisher. Not a fiction author, to the best of my knowledge; he was writing cookbooks, but that doesn’t really change anything. I told him I had written nine novellas, and that I liked the

All she wants is to hide her scarred face. All he wants is to take the perfect portrait.
Who are you, that you should forget the Lord your maker, who has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the Earth?
Doesn't the sun always come up again?
You cannot be yourself until you know who you are.

Fear is a powerful enemy. But it’s a powerful ally, too.

Sometimes, life just isn’t like a storybook.
