It was six months ago, give or take a week or two, that I published Neanderthal Swan Song. I tried a number of different things since the book came out, all to varying degrees of success. Sales have not been stellar, but what little feedback I’ve heard has been pretty… Continue reading
It’s been almost a month since my last “weekly” update. Oops. Things have changed in terms of my long fiction projects. I had a first reader get back to me on Turnabout, the SF/romance novel that began as my 2009 NaNoWriMo winner. There are some issues that need to be… Continue reading
Yesterday, I discovered a new review on Amazon for my novel Neanderthal Swan Song. I am referring to the 4-star review by “Fred.” First, I want to take the time to thank Fred both for reading the novel and for the Amazon review. That he found much to take issue… Continue reading
I was messing around with a powerpoint template for book cover design that I found via Michael Jasper. You can get it from his blog post here if you are interested. I thought I would try a new cover for Neanderthal Swan Song. What do you think?
After finishing the second of two novels, I took it a bit slow this past week. I did start the editing process on the first novel, Turnabout, getting through nine chapters. I must kick it up a notch and get through as much of the novel as possible this week…. Continue reading

Nancy Kress on Saturday posted on her blog about where writers write. As often happens, this got on my RADAR via Mary Robinette Kowal’s blog She posted a photo of an elegant desk that can be used for writing while sitting or standing. The desk has been in her family… Continue reading
I had a nice recovery this week from the low productivity last week. I finished the week with a total of 12,873 words. I managed to hit my 1500-word minimum daily quota all seven days this week, including Saturday and Sunday. Weekends are usually very difficult for writing due to… Continue reading
