I'm going to hazard a guess: I bet that most of the people following my blog right now are writers. Am I right (if I'm not, please tell me so in the comments!)? If you are, I'm going to make another guess: I'm betting that at least 3/4 of the writers here are looking to… Continue reading Social Media Advice for Writers

My Author Pic
Reality is setting in: I have another book coming out! *hyperventilates* ... *just a little* Here's the author pic I had taken today at Studio Q in Amherst: I like my "mug" shot, too (the one with me, ya know, sipping from my mug.)

Life Lesson #1

Later this year (November or December), I'll be releasing the print version of In a Pickle on Amazon. The cover was not an easy decision. There were many cool designs, but in the end, I went with the practical (and the one I liked a lot): As I write this, the book is still… Continue reading In a Pickle: Print Cover Reveal
W-wait! Did You Hear Something?
...I think it came from the boiler room! Okay, enough teasing/weirding around. The anthology my story's in is available for pre-order from Amazon: Tales From the Boiler Room. That's the e-book version. Print should be available soon as well 🙂 There are eight horror/weird fantasy/dark fantasy stories by different authors--all with touches of humor. Mine's… Continue reading W-wait! Did You Hear Something?
