We've been keeping a careful eye on our total numbers for e-book and print sales. We were over 900,000 and creeping in the direction of a million units sold, so the plan was to send out a press release to the local newspapers when we crossed that line. "Local independent author sells one million books" makes for a nice human interest piece for them and some solid visibility for us. We were tracking the numbers and it looked like we'd clear the million sale line sometime this ... Read more »

2018 Retrospective and 2019 Plans
2018 was the longest year that ever was a year. That was the repeated description from one of the handful of Youtube personalities I follow and I can't help but agree. I have to actually look at the spreadsheets to see what the first book we launched in 2018 was (ONSET: Stay of Execution, apparently. Wow.) Seems like we wrapped up ONSET longer ago than that. 2018 was a year of missteps for us. We ended up shifting our mix more towards Urban Fantasy than we meant to, which hurt our ... Read more »

An April Update
This blog post was published on and may be out of date. Visit the books page for up to date links and releases. We are beginning the process of redesigning the website, so a lot of content on here has fallen a bit out of date. Working on that in the interim, but my priority is always the books. Speaking of which: Rimward Stars is a bit over sixty percent done, trucking along on schedule for a target mid-May release. Next up after that are ONSET 3: Blood of the Innocent and Terra and ...

A Year Full Time
Something I didn't draw too much attention to last year for a lot of reasons was my transition from writing part-time to writing full-time. It was a careful thing, done in stages, carried out with the full support of my then-boss. And it started September 1, 2015. As I think most people reading this blog can guess, it went well enough that most of those stages got jumped over and I was no longer even working part-time by the end of 2015. Since September 2015, I have launched five novels ... Read more »
