Coming Attractions

I'm over at Wicked Writers today, talking about my upcoming career plans. Come on over for a visit: WICKED WRITERS

The countdown to Semper Audacia's release has begun



Speaking of coming attractions ... sometimes we can't see the consequences of what lies ahead from what we do. Sometimes, something marvelous happens though. A seed brings something unexpected. What treasured days those are.

The husband unit and I put a bird feeder in the backyard, and a whole forest of sunflowers sprang up.

I've begun posting a daily moon / observatory photo on Twitter. Another seed with unexpected results.

In other news, RIP Andy Whitfield. What a damned shame. Condolences to his wife and family. I was so saddened to hear he lost his battle with lymphoma. I lost a sister-in-law to it about five years ago and a good high school friend to Hodgkins. Andy was the star of Spartacus.

Valor is My Choice

I read and write in many subgenres of science fiction, including fantasy. There is one space opera series which really stands out to me and which I claim is my favorite. It has many things going for it including a strong female lead and her ability to overcome impossible situations. As I've said, I really enjoy a story where the main character keeps seeking and never gives up.

Self-Publishing as an Audience Building Tool

Writing over at Wicked Writers today.


The topic was the new role of agents ushering authors through the self-publishing process. Which I confess to not getting ... why would a writer need an agent to self-publish? I didn't find anything on the topic. If you've heard of this, please inform me.

I don't think an agent is necessary, other than they may be trying to maneuver into some role there as more writers go into epublishing. At any rate, I wrote about using epublishing as an audience building tool instead. If you care to pop by, you can read the article HERE
