It’s NaNoWriMo time!
Yes, that’s right: NaNoWriMo (National Novel-Writing Month) is just around the corner! It’s that wonderful time of year when thousands of writers around the world spend their Novembers chasing the goal of averaging 1,667 words a day. I will be participating … Continue reading

A Few Things!
A couple of items of possible interest: Item the FIRST: I’ve been working on getting Stardancer available on more platforms than just the Kindle, and I can now report initial success: the book is now available for Nook, right here! Zap! Pow!! … Continue reading
Tools of the Trade
What writer doesn’t like talking about process? Let’s talk process! Specifically, the tools I use. For years, I’ve been a dedicated OpenOffice user. My reasons for this, at the outset, were anything but high-minded devotion to the open-source software model. … Continue reading
