  • Amazon Author Page And Central

    (written while tired. my apology, but intuition suggested I publish it soonest.) I pass this along because it is cheap and relatively easy. Amazon has two websites that I use: Amazon Author page and Amazon Author Central. Note: I use them. They are useful, but not very useful. But they are free and informative. And…

  • First Draft Voice

    Every book has a voice, at least from my perspective. I’m working on the sequel to Dream. Invest. Live. (From Middle Class to Millionaire to (Mostly Muddling By, which is becoming A Rollercoaster Ride Through America’s Wealth Classes because it is sorta shorter.) But something didn’t feel right. Now, it feels better because I found…

  • Dream. Invest. Live. – A Sequel

    Dream. Invest. Live. That’s the book about personal finance that I published; let’s see, Amazon says November 26, 2008. It’s time for a sequel, especially considering everything that’s happened since then. The writing has begun. Here’s a bit of why and how I’m about to devote time in the next year or so to writing…

  • Popular Posts 2024

    Someone else had the idea for this blog. Thanks for the inspiration. They reasoned that I did so much writing that my writing deserved its own blog. I didn’t doubt that I’d find something to write about writing. I write. It works that way. Looking at the top ten posts from 2024 points out that…

  • Last Minute Ebooks

    It is Christmas Eve. What’s left to do for an author? Ah, yes. Remind people that ebooks have found a niche in the harried shopping season. This is simple. This will be easy. Let’s see if I ramble on as usual. Cultural note: Shopping doesn’t only happen for Christmas. Christmas is not for everyone. If…

  • First Review Whew – Fire Race

    “Finish the next one. I want to see what happens.” OK. That summarizes it. I called a friend (definitely not an unbiased source, but a better writer than me) just to ask how they were doing after our windstorm. Fine; now, about the book… Write a book. Become an author. Then, wait for the second…

  • Library Of Congress – Fire Race

    A milestone. A celebration. I think I did it right, but with bureaucracies, I have doubts. But. I have mailed a paperback copy of Fire Race to the U.S. Library of Congress. I hope I did it right. I’ve submitted several books during the previous 22 years, so I should be practiced, but a lot…

  • My Gift Guide For Writers – 2024

    Isn’t the guide for gifts for writers to give simply the books they’ve already written? Gotta get rid of that excess inventory somehow. I’m thinking more about gifts for writers to get. Yes, this is slightly early for such a list, but a few days ago, I was rummaging around through my office supplies as…

  • Fire Race – The Ebook

    Coping and hoping? Doesn’t that describe what every character is doing in a novel? Fire Race, the second book in my science fiction series (Exodus/Genesis), obviously describes how a bunch of humans (who are actually aliens because they’re on a different planet, AintEarth) and a bunch of aliens (who are the current residents of the…

  • Firewatcher – The Ebook

    Does it feel like the world is in turmoil? I wrote a scifi novel about that, though not specifically this. That book, Firewatcher, is now an ebook. If you need an instant distraction, there it is. Firewatcher’s origin story has been covered over on my oldest blog (Firewatcher Launched). That was the paperback. The ebook…
