Do you like historical fiction? Because myself and four other indie authors are giving away a package of five historical fiction paperbacks! As valuable as ebooks can be, nothing beats the turning of actual pages, in my opinion, so I’m extra excited to share this giveaway with you. Want to hear a little bit about each of the books? Read…
I’m going through these a bit more slowly than I did last year. I limit myself to about two hours of work time a day, so that I’m not working while my kids are awake, which means that most of that time needs to go to actual writing and more concrete business matters. But these reviews and this blog are…
Hello readers! Or should I say “listeners”? I’ve written before about why audiobooks count as real books, and now I’m here to let y’all know about a giveaway of four audiobook codes, including one for my book Firmament: Radialloy! And while I haven’t yet read the other three books, I have read some of all three authors’ other works and…
Things have been busy around here, as usual — I’ve been working away on revising the older books in my series, something I’ve been needing to do for a very long time. I may do a post about that sometime soon. And that’s on top of normal life, promotion, side jobs, and more! But in the meantime, I want to…
In the midst of all the reading and writing and childcare and housework and trying to get some amount of sleep, I again find pieces of time to run over to my blog and give you all five more mini-reviews of my 2022 reads! This post is full of five- and four-star reviews, so you should be in for a…
Because I’m only one person, and one person with quite a lot of things to do, blogging is taking a bit of a back seat lately. Certainly I’m taking a break from blogging regularly just for the sake of blogging, but I still intend to post either when I have a specific reason or have an idea for a post.…
Y’all, I’m so excited about this giveaway! Kindle Unlimited is a wonderful platform that allows readers to read thousands of ebooks for free, and myself and some fellow indie authors are giving away six months of it! And there are opportunities for lots of entries from today through the 28th of this month. All of my books, along with so…
New year, new reviews! Here I am to review the first five books I read last year. My total book count last year was 101 books, so it’s going to take quite awhile to get through them all, but it was a great year for reading and I’m excited to start sharing them with you! Without further ado, here are…
Every year, holidays come and go. Every year, people decorate their houses and yards for various of the holidays. And every year, I drive past hundreds and hundreds of these decked-out residences. And yet not until this year did this particular symbolic revelation occur to me. Are the relevant phenomena more pronounced this year — or is there something in…
It’s no secret that my series Firmament is strongly inspired by Star Trek. My dad introduced my siblings and myself to The Original Series when I was in my early twenties, and I was hooked. I loved the characters, the fantastic scenarios, the opportunities for philosophical and political commentary. I didn’t, however, love the blatant immorality, frequent immodesty, or cringeworthy…
