It’s been a bit since my last update, so I wanted to give you all a quick update. I’m waiting on final revisions of the artwork now, which is the last step holding me up from putting up the pre-sale on my site. I’m also about 40% done with recording the first draft of the […]
If you haven’t been following along on social media, the book is now done. Last Friday, I put the finishing touches on it and read it one final time. My editor gave me (literally) hundreds of great suggestions throughout, and gave me a big vote of confidence on parts I was unsure about, which I loved. […]
There’s four major eBook providers, well three major ones and then Google. Of those major players (Google, Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon), only Amazon lets you make your book free for a period of time. You get five days every six months to make your book free. I had good luck with it when […]
I published A Sour Chord on May 18th of this year and immediately went back to work on My Last Days, trying to finish that book’s first draft. Since then, sales of A Sour Chord have dropped off significantly, selling maybe one or two copies a month on Kindle or iBooks, none on the other […]
I’ve got a handful of people reading My Last Days right now. Not to tell me that I missed a comma or a closing quote or the like, but to tell me what they think of the story. I read through it twice when I finished the first draft and I’m not fully sure that […]
Now that A Sour Chord is fully done and for sale in the various market places, I’ve decided to put off all of the other real-world tasks that I have to complete and get back to work on My Last Days. Last week I started re-reading everything I’d written so far, so I can be […]
I clicked the “Publish” button across all three of the major publishing platforms three weeks ago today, at least what I thought was the three major platforms. It was quickly requested to be published to Google Play, which I hadn’t even thought about, as my sister has an Android device now. And I figured I’d […]

Today’s the fifth day since A Sour Chord went on sale. It was finally approved to all of the publishing websites on Monday at around 8:30am EST. The response has been bigger than I expected — not that much in terms of sales, but moreso in engagement. Through my primitive marketing skills and efforts, in […]
The culmination of a total of 440 days of work has finally come to an end. The write, edit, and publish journey has come to an end. What started way back on March 5th of 2013 has finally come to a close as of this morning. I’m fully published on Amazon, iBooks and Barnes & […]
Part of this whole “I’m writing a book” process has been to educate myself about how it works from start to finish — what it’s like to write a book, edit a book, have artwork designed, and finally publish the book. I’ve been rolling with the proverbial punches since I started this journey in March […]
As of around 24 hours ago, I’ve uploaded A Sour Chord to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple. Amazon and Barnes & Noble were quick and painless. After mucking around with my eBook format a few times and testing it on their preview systems, I got it right and had it queued up, selected what […]
