The reviews for The Hencha Queen are coming in!
"A richly painted world that is both beautiful and sinister, evoking landscapes that are as much science fiction as Tolkienian fantasy. 5 stars." --Ulysses, Paranormal Romance Guild

One of the many hats I wear is that of book formatter. As an indie author/press, it made sense to do it for myself, and now I do it for other folks too. :)
Need a re-release formatted? Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and do formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.

My forthcoming book for indie authors is up for preorder!
So you want to be an indie author. Or maybe you're scared to do it all yourself and are looking for a publisher, but want to know more about the nuts and bolts of the book business. Either way, this book is for you.
“If I ever go off course, I will refer back to this guide to keep me going. The book's strength lies in its ability to demystify the writing and publishing process. 5 Stars.” -Readers’ Favorite

POINT OF VIEW: Indie or Bust?
Today I'm talking about how to choose between big publishers, smaller presses, hybrid publishing, and indie authorship.
“Self publishing” has been around for a long time. Before the days of the internet (yes, I am that old), it used to mean using a “vanity press”—derogatory slang for a company that would print the books for you, and then leave a pallet of them on...

Two great reviews already for my brand-new release The Gauntlet Runner:
"Filled with intense moments of danger and excitement, with collapsing bridges, swarms of creepy insects and many other surprises. It would make a great movie."
"The three personalities of the reluctant young heroes are beautifully sketched out. The visuals a cinematic sense of what Tharassas looks like... Five stars."

Time for my weekly POV Column: Gardening is Writing II:
Back in the before world, in 2019, I wrote a column for this space called “Gardening is Writing.” My premise was simple. Many of the same skills to grow a successful vegetable garden could be applied to writing as well.
Then yesterday, I ran across a framed image at a Starbucks, of all places, that reminded me of the art I used to draw when I was in high school...

My friend Redfern Jon Barrett is here in my author spotlight hotseat to tell us about his recently released queer alt history tale Proud Pink Sky:
JSC: If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
RJB: Those books you love? The ones that are your comfort, your safety, your escape? You can write them too.
