  • Decision Made: I’m going DRM-FREE

    I made the decision pretty early last night. Migraine or not, most problems are solvable by thinking, and this one was. Logic is lovely that way. And my husband is the best sounding board on the planet, because he is brilliant at asking questions that allow me to cut through to what is essential in…

  • More lost than before on the DRM issue

    The DRM discussion turned out to be far more depressing than I had anticipated. I used to buy print books I really wanted in hardcover, then buy a paperback “reader’s copy” of those I wanted to reread so that I wouldn’t screw up my hardcover. I did this when I was making $99/week, and having…

  • Discussing DRM (Digital Rights Management)

    Okay, first let me state the rules. This is a NO FLAMES DISCUSSION. If you post a personal attack against anyone talking here, I’ll delete your post.

  • Struggling with an Alternative for PayPal Users

    I’ve had a number of folks from countries outside the US who have contacted me to ask me how I’m going to make either my novels or my courses available to readers or students who don’t have access to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com or the Apple Store or CreateSpace. What these folks have all had in…

  • Friday Snippet: HTCB — Meet Cady

    I realized that, because of the small printing HUNTING THE CORRIGAN’S BLOOD got when it came out in 1997, and the fact that it sold through its initial printing in about four months and then was never reprinted, even most of the folks who read my other books have not had a chance to read…
