Blog Tour, Giveaways, Writing

Today’s the Day!

Finally, the release date for Firmament: Reversal Zone! It is now available on Kindle, and I’m making the last few tweaks to the paperback, so it should be up in a few days. In the meantime, head on over to Bookish Orchestrations for the blog tour kickoff, which includes three giveaways–one for each of the three previous books! I think…

Coming Soon…

Just a few days before Firmament: Reversal Zone is available! I’m getting positively giddy at the thought of sharing it with you. I got to thinking, though, what if somebody is interested, but hasn’t read the rest of the series? So to help out with that, I’m making the Firmament: Radialloy ebook a free download for the week! Starting tomorrow…

Sometimes I’m Not Creative

Well, I haven’t posted in almost a month, contrary to my most sincere desires. My schedule these days looks a bit like this: Get up around 6:30 to head to the gym. Work out for about 45 minutes.

Guest Post–The Reason for the Typo

The following is a guest thought by Jason McIntire, who wanted to make a quick stop here as he promotes his new novel, Flight School. He believes in trying to say a lot in a short space – which is probably one reason it took him a year and six months, working more or less consistently, to write a novel…

The End of the Line

Last blog tour post! This time, Braden Russell let me take over his blog to talk about Implant and what I learned from it. It’s been a long journey, but very much worth it!

I’m Running Out of Ideas

Really, there are only so many blog post titles, guest post ideas and answers to “tell us about your book” that I can come up with… but there are just two more posts, at least for this tour! Then I can let my brain rest for awhile. The second to last stop on the Implant blog tour is a review…

Rebel Gathering

Instead of a post or an interview, today some fellow authors and I are hosting a Facebook party to celebrate the release of Implant! And there’s a lot to celebrate–in addition to the Kindle version, you can now order a paperback copy! And if you”re interested in a signed copy, please message me so we can work out payment. Now…

Two in One

My blog tour continues today, and so does my friend Elizabeth’s! I’ll be hosting a guest post for her here while my friend Olivia hosts one for me over at her blog. It’s like guest-post-ception. So click on over to read my post about characters and making them more like people, then save that tab and come back to read…
