Inktober... Day 3...
Inktober… Day 3…
The word of the day is ‘Bulky’ joined with a Sci-Fi writing prompt picked at random by my kid. These are tougher than I thought…
“You have to tell someone!” his wife hissed at him, but he shook his head at her with a snort.
“Are you crazy? No one can know of this!”
“The lab techs have all the data. They will tell the V.P.’s in Research and then they’ll know that you withheld the…

Inktober…Day 2
October 2- Wisp
“I’m telling you to look again, 8-5.”
There was a moment of silence from the earpiece the tech wore. The comms were real-time and he knew that the silence was pure irritation with him for his demand.
“And I’m telling you, Home, that there is nothing out here. We’ve been over it twice. It was a mech. Or glitch in the ‘wares.”
Or tech error, you mean.
The tech caught…

Inktober writing Challenge
In an effort to have some writing fun and rebuild some habits I have let lapse…I have taken a book of sci-fi prompts my daughter gifted me and have asked her and my wife to pick one that I will then use with the word of the day. It is challenging.
I am late in posting and a day behind but here is Thursday’s:
October 1st- Fish
“Will you put it down?”
His words, quiet though they were,…

A lesson I should have learned from the characters that live in my head but didn’t!
So…as always…it has been a mightily long time since a blog posting. Uh…April 23rd? To be precise. Yowza.
And usually, when I have skipped for this long, I come back and bemoan how little writing I have gotten done, how busy life is alla time…whinge, whinge, crab, crab…etc.
This time…THIS TIME, I say…things are different. (more…)

2018? I guess I kinda feel THIS way: Completely Wonka’d! “I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained, et cetera, et cetera… Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera… Memo bis punitor delicatum!” [slams the contract copy and the magnifying glass down, continues shouting] “It’s all there, black and white, clear as crystal!…You…

Saturday, March 3rd…3pm at White Birch Books in North Conway, NH…I will be sitting down to a Local Author’s signing of my first two books HUNTSMAN and DAGGER. White Birch Books Come by to say ‘Hey’ if you are in the area. A further note of interest: work on Book Three has resumed with 7,500 new words in Jan / Feb. I have been shockingly negligent in actual word production of late, but my New…

First newspaper mention…
I am attending the Saima Park Tori again this year…I hope! (Thanks once again to my book distributors for shipping via the wrong service. I needed the extra anxiety of maybe NOT having books to sell at the event!) My niece forwarded me the link to the Sentinel & Enterprise write-up. I don’t think I’ve been in a newspaper for my writing! Saima Park Annual Tori is the place to be on Sunday for the…

Unlearning Assumptions My niece approached me via Facebook about participating in a new social justice endeavor she works with because A. I sporadically write stuff and B. one of the first themes was Justice and Hospitality. At first I was reluctant, because…reasons…and then I remembered this story from the recent past. It was fun to write, and the editors from Streetside were a pleasure to work…

Finn Fun 2016
Another Tori this weekend, this time held at the VFW hall on Rt 12 in Fitzwilliam NH. The hours are from 9 am to 2 pm and I will have a table filled, very briefly, with copies of Huntsman and Dagger, books One and Two of The Hunted Mage Trilogy. I say briefly because last time I sold all I had, so move fast! I suggest a run on my table at 10ish to snatch them all up for Christmas and Hanukkah…

Going to try selling some books…
There’s a Tori happening next week…a Finnish market. As my books are set in Finland AD 1019, I have rented a table to try to sell some books next Sunday. I had some good sales last time I went in 2014 and now there is Book the Second: DAGGER available so…with a super quiet weekend at the hotel, I, at my lovely Bride’s urging, will attend and put on my salesman’s hat. We had a fun time at the last…

Huntsman is available on Kindle from Amazon for $2.99 today.It is also onsale in the UK Amazon for £1.99. (I thought myself a tad clever for actually finding the symbol for the British pound up there. Never found that before!) My sister texted me and told me that my 14-year-old niece just finished Huntsman and cried out for their copy of Dagger which, sadly, deployed with my brother-in-law into…

"Extra-Sensatory Perspiration"
“Extra-Sensatory Perspiration”
“Call it… Uh, a fifth sense. Call it a flash of intermission, but I just got this feeling deep down in the heart of my bottom…” ~ Ernest P. Worrell in ‘Ernest Saves Christmas’ Here in the North East, we have not gotten any substantial snowfall this season. I, personally, can take it or leave it, but I know the skiing industry in my area needed it. And also, my daughter, who was actively praying…

Update on Huntsman Promo and Dagger release…
Due to everyone’s support, Huntsman is #9 in the Kindle Historic Fantasy section under Top 100 Free e-books! If you go a step more specific into Historic Fantasy/ Myths & Legends/Norse & Viking Huntsman is #6! Many thanks to everyone who has shared my news to family & friends. Having their books seen by as many people as possible is crucial to self-published authors. That and getting James Earl…

Reflections on Victory
So…if anyone ever asks you: “What do you think it’s like to self-publish your own books?” you can refer them to this article! It feels just like this: Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they’ll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields……

Well, this hasn’t gone the way I envisioned…
My plans went as I wanted but there is a glitch… My files are still ‘in review’. I not sure what that means fully or how they review. Is it people or computer ‘reviewing’ my files? I sorta feel like this: I just don’t remember Huntsman taking this long to review. (more…)

Dagger for Paperback!
I am almost there! And I MEAN IT this time. Dagger: Book Two of The Hunted Mage Trilogy is poised for publication. I have a few double-checks to perform this weekend and then… December 7th…LAUNCHED! At least in paperback. The Kindle, Nook and Apple versions will follow in a few days as I perform the tweaking and changes that allow the document to upload onto those sales sites. My goal for e-book…
