Yes, it's Thursday. But this got in my head and it's too important to wait. I had someone tell me they bought books from a site, one I'd never heard of. They said they went there because it was cheaper. It's a pirate site. I get it. Times are still rough for lots of us. … Continue reading On Piracy, and who it truly hurts

Compliment in public, people
Good morning! I hope all is well with you today. Our week ahead is going to be interesting, but good. I hope. LOL. There's a single problem with social media. It encourages you to vent.

Trying to collect my thoughts
It was a wild week. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around everything. Solstice took second in the voting. "Fin's Magic" came in 3rd. Very proud of both ratings.

Are you Sabotaging your Sales?
Good morning! The solstice was yesterday, the sun's warmth will be returning soon, and I've got two kids awaiting Thursday morning. Me? I'm thinking Muse is going to have a fun time with piles of paper and boxes. I'm not big on twitter, but I do get on there once or twice a day. It's … Continue reading Are you Sabotaging your Sales?
What do you really want as an author?
It's a question we all have to ask ourselves at some point. And I know I've brought it up here more than once. But you really need to think hard about what it is you want as an author. Do you want to write because not writing isn't an option? Are you willing to spend … Continue reading What do you really want as an author?
