  • How would YOU clear this schedule?

    I’m swamped enough that the migraines are back, and I’m putting this in front of my readers hoping someone will see a way for me to clear a lot of stuff out of my schedule quickly. I’ll be honest. I’ve got nothing. I can come up with ideas for books and courses all day long,…

  • Longview Cover Art: THIRD Massive Overhaul

    Nothing about indie publishing is simple. Making your own cover art is actively difficult. You can create acceptable cover art, but it takes a lot of trial and error, and some good feedback helps. I had help through the first rounds of this, and now have replacement cover art for:   TALES FROM THE LONGVIEW…
