I am proud to finally offer cover design as a service for fellow indie authors. And instead of making you pay an arm and a leg to get a professional-looking cover, my rates will be within reason. Find out all the details on my new design site, Adorkable Designs. Follow […]
autumnal press
Sex sells. Let’s face it … it’s a universal truth (on some levels) that even writers must indulge now and then. Sex and sexy will sell books. Why do you think book covers are so filled with sexy, beautiful, glittery cover models? How else would the Twilight Saga ever have […]
Sexy sells
I’ve been in a lot of industries. One of the most recent iterations (I call it Jack 3.0 — which I might be regressing to in the near future) was hair stylist. As a hair stylist it is a universal truth that there are slow times of the year. And […]
Rethinking how we publish and promote
In the second book of the “Fringe Killer” series, Detective Davenport finds herself dealing with horror brought to life from the past. A killer is terrorizing the same building that held him prisoner – decades ago. A killer from the past manages to escape the bonds of time and redefines […]
Sample Sunday: Gothica
It’s time ladies and gentlemen. I have decided it is time to begin to expand my world as a digital artist and offer services to my fellow indie authors. I realize there is already a glut of people offering these services, but not so much as a whole. Let me […]
Adding new digital services
When I first decided to go the indie publishing route, I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I was very much on my own. I had no editor, I had no clue…I was, quite possibly, as lost as I have ever been. My books were unedited, my covers […]
Where do we go from here?
I want to tie this sample sunday into my Zombie Radio podcast today. So, in effect, you get a two-for-one out of the deal (don’t you love a good deal?)! First, hear me read a snippet from this sample sunday (as the Zombie Radio deejay), hear a good tune, and […]
Sample Sunday: I Zombie I
It’s time ladies and gents…time for me to begin the great giveaway circus. That’s right, for those interested, there shall be prizes. The prizes? My books (what did you expect, a brand new car? A cool zombie butler?). What I am going to do is start with giving away digital […]
The Great Giveaway
I thought I would tease everyone with a view of the cover for my upcoming release “My Zombie My”. Follow Email PostShare on Tumblr
My Zombie My paperback cover
Sorry for borrowing from one of my favorite TV shows of all time (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but I have to ask the traditional publishing industry a question – are you really that frightened of indie publishing that you have to resort to dogma, FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt), and […]
Hate much?
Every indie author writes about this at some point: “What’s the magic combination of writing and marketing that will finally bring my sales up? We all do this — we struggle with how best to embrace Twitter, Facebook, forums, blog posts, giveaways, back scratches, and dog washes with the hopes […]
Don’t forget to add a little luck into the mixture
Ladies and gentlemen, I am so thrilled to announce the sequel to my hit, I Zombie I, has reached two milestones in the creation process. First, and foremost, the first rewrites are complete. The manuscript will fall into the hands of the beta readers very soon and will then (after […]
First Look: My Zombie My
Ask any indie author and, aside from sales, the one thing they will all say they need more of are reviews. It’s almost a universal. How is this possible? People read and review books. There are seemingly countless sites out there dedicated to the book review. There’s a catch…always a […]
Reviewer sites should open their hearts and minds
It’s been a while since I ran a sample of A Blade Away. This particular scene is one that displays one of Lakme’s tragic flaws — and another brutal glimpse into his past. Purchase A Blade Away on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, or in Paperback from Amazon. Follow Email […]
Sample Sunday: A Blade Away
Could it be Sunday already? If so, that could only mean one thing: Sample Sunday! That’s right everyone — Sample Sunday, that day where indie authors post up samples of their work for you to read and enjoy. This time I dug deep into the heart of my paranormal thriller, […]
