Starting Again.
I had an idea when I was a few chapters into the process of writing my debut novel. I'm a fan of Sue Grafton's "(Letter) For (Noun)" title format and I knew the book I was writing was going to…
If You Got A Niche, Scratch It
Two book-related updates: Salvation, my debut novel, was chosen by The Epoch Times as a recommended book earlier this month. I'm not a regular reader of that website, but the recognition is nice, and it has sold a number of…
The Road Ahead
