My friend, Cat Gerlach… uhm… I mean Katharina Gerlach… (Author names. **sigh**)… is running a Kickstarter this month. If you’re a long-time reader, you’ll remember Cat from the Indie Authors’ Advent Calendar that she puts out every year. The Kickstarter is for an anthology the size of an Epic Fantasy, but filled with short stories.
The awesome co-hosts for the April 6 posting of the IWSG are Joylene Nowell Butler, Jemima Pett, Patricia Josephine, Louise – Fundy Blue, and Kim Lajevardi! April 6 question – Have any of your books been made into audio books? If so, what is the main challenge in producing an audiobook? I had two short stories that were produced in
It’s that time of year when corporations everywhere remind people how much stuff they desperately need, and small independent companies struggle to keep up. There are basically two kinds of sale going on, right now. On the one hand, you have your major, corporate sale, in which merchandise has been purchased (a year in advance!)
I don’t know how I wound up talking about death last week. It’s not a topic that’s front and center on anybody’s mind in a pandem– Oh. Well, anyway, the topic turned to estate planning for unpublished and indie writers. Don’t get me wrong. I get the general idea. It’s just that once I finish

This is a picture of a train. And if you don’t mind my saying so, it happens to be a particularly snazzy picture of a train. I should know. I drew it. And excuse the glare. By the way, please don’t tell anyone I drew it. Because… I don’t really draw trains. In fact, for
This morning, I ran across what has to be the single most objectively bad book cover I’ve ever seen in my life. Someone I follow retweeted it to help out the author. And even at the ass crack of dawn with an hour and five minutes of sleep (an actual Fitbit reading, not hyperbole) I
I got into one of those conversations today. You know the ones. Yup. The kind where you’re with one of your extroverted friends, and you have no idea on this earth where the third person came from or why you are talking to them. They’re just sorta there because you’re out walking with (well, what
A new coworking space is opening in a vacant building near me. Coworking is several start-up sized businesses sharing space and resources, and usually has space on a drop-in basis. It’s actually something I’ve been watching for a few years, now. I could see doing a web-design business out of it. (Pay no attention to
One of the things that always fascinates me about the internet is the automatically generated links. Now, a human being… they have a pretty good idea what’s related to what. They can bet that if you’re looking for desert recipes with chocolate, you’re game for pies, cakes, and tortes, and that maybe you’d settle for
