On buying reviews…
It’s been an interesting weekend thanks to this article in the NYT - in a nutshell it details how people, usually self-published authors, can and do purchase reviews so that they end up with a stack of glowing five-star reviews on Amazon.com. The biggest revelation is that John Locke, long considered to be one of […]
Always moving forward…
July 20, 2012
I’ve got, at last count, over fifty books on the art of writing on my bookshelves. At least that many in ebook form on my Nook. That’s a lot of books. And I keep adding to them because I believe I cannot ever NOT keep moving forward and learning how to tell a better story. […]
Beware of False Profits, or, Ramblings of an Old Dragon Broad
August 19, 2010
Today I feel the urge to discuss, or at least toss out my views on, the Imminent Death Of Print Publishing. Yeah, again. *stifles yawn* I remember, a thousand years ago when computers first crept onto the scene. The VIC20, with 20K of memory. Really. 20K. No one knew how to use that much memory! […]

July 28, 2010
Well, less than two weeks left to go before “Wild Cards and Iron Horses” releases. And yes, I’m dying of anticipation here.

If FauxOlivia doesn’t get found out within the first two eps, I’m done with you. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy writing! […]
Where I ranteth…
May 3, 2010
It’s a lovely day outside, I’m working on BoG 2, and all’s right with the world. Until, of course, my Twitter/Facebook feed picks up the latest posting from an avowed self-publishing advocate. “Screw the publishers! Put your work up on Amazon and make money! I have! You can! Why give those nasty New York people […]
Thinking about self-pubbing?
September 11, 2009
An excellent post here by Jim Hines – it helps debunk some of the more common myths about self-publishing that has come out over the years. I do think that there’s definitely a spot for self-pubbing – poetry, nonfiction and so forth, where you know the sales aren’t going to be great, depending on how […]
