  • Do I still recommend John Locke? No.

    Back at the end of June, 2011, I read a book that succeeded because of a lie, and I turned my entire life upside down as a result of that lie. The book was, of course, John Locke’s How I Sold 1 Million Ebooks in 5 Months. Like a lot of other writers, I let…

  • Halloween Tonk

    Got an email from a reader who loved Talyn and wanted to make herself a Tonk Shielder uniform. She used Talyn as her basic reference, and got a lot of the rest of the details from the Tonk Stuff I’ve posted online. She asked me a few additional questions, though, I provided details, and she…

  • A thoughtful post on Christian/Muslim reconciliation

    The writer of this is Quaker (I used to be) and a visiting scholar at Yale Divinity School. My personal take on any religion is “no, thanks,” but I am a firm supporter of freedom of religion. And of tolerance, defined as follows: I will tolerate you, your quirks, and your beliefs, if you will…

  • My Super-Secret Agenda Revealed

    Arconna said—The fact that Democrats accused Republicans of fiddling with votes and intentionally disenfranchising voters who had names similar to criminals is just as disturbing as Democrats doing the same thing. All that that proves is that no party has the interests of the American people in mind, just their own. I’m absolutely sick of…

  • It’s Out There (The Ruby Key is Live)

    I’ve been haunting the local bookstore, and THE RUBY KEY isn’t on the shelves yet, so it didn’t really dawn on me that people are already reading it. But Tina already has a review up (and is giving a copy away), and I’m not ready. I knit two pairs of Genna’s socks to give away,…

  • A Book Giveaway (sort of)

    Lots of my novels for free if you’ll pay the postage.

  • Thank you

    I’d like to take the time to thank each of you who has faced out a copy of Talyn at your bookstore, or bought a copy for yourself or someone else, or recommended it to a friend or a bookseller. I apologize for being so distracted by garbage that I haven’t taken the time to…

  • The Tonk need a rescue

    Talyn debuts in paperback today. With luck, you’ll find it in local indie bookstores, where real people order books, and where support for my work has been strong. If you don’t have an indie store, then you may find it in your local chain bookstore, but computers order the books for chains, and they order…

  • Talyn Paperback!

    I had no idea what the cover was going to look like. Found it today on Amazon. Wow.

  • Update

    I wrote a long post yesterday, but my browser ate it, and I was too exhausted to do it again. The short version is that yesterday I woke up at 2:30 AM, got up and started to work at 4:30 AM, and by one had finished Chapter Five of The Ruby Key, the complete synopsis…
