This morning, I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to an email from ACX (Audible's publishing platform), more or less saying that starting in January 2021, they will now start refunding audiobooks that are returned more than seven days after the purchase date. They are also looking into adding a returns column for sales data, … Continue reading Update on Audible Situation
Update
Hello everyone. Hope you're staying safe despite the goings-on in the world. Just a few updates on the writing. The cover art for the first book of The Starsea Cycle, now titled The Mages of Starsea, is nearly done! It looks AWESOME. And yes, that word is deserving of full capitalization. It will be out … Continue reading Update
Starsea Cycle Will Be Available Everywhere E-Books Are Sold (Most Likely Next Month)
Greetings reading friends! I've been kind of waffling back on forth on whether to make my next series available wide (everywhere e-books are sold) or going exclusive with Amazon in order to take advantage of Kindle Unlimited. I've made the decision that this entire series will be available everywhere major e-books are sold. So that's … Continue reading Starsea Cycle Will Be Available Everywhere E-Books Are Sold (Most Likely Next Month)
AudibleGate
For those of you unaware, over the past few days there have been rumblings (at least in authors' circles) of something coming to be known as AudibleGate. Audible is the dominant player in audiobook industry, as I'm sure most of you know, accounting for 90% of audiobook purchases. They have been ALLEGEDLY (take that allegedly … Continue reading AudibleGate
The Battle Plan
Man. This year has been absolutely crazy. On a global scale, on a personal scale, and a professional scale. Global for reasons I don't need to mention. Personal, because of the birth of my son (four days away from being four weeks old). And finally, professional. Because this year has been really tough in the … Continue reading The Battle Plan
Insert Title Here
These past three weeks have been a huge blur. Lots of getting up in the middle of the night, diaper changes, and all those things that come with raising a newborn. And in those rare moments of quiet, when I'm not sleeping, I'm working. Despite everything going on - and it's a lot - Book … Continue reading Insert Title Here
Final Two Xenoworld Covers
With these two, the series rebrand is complete! This is a very basic cover that hearkens to the original Dissolution cover with the Thought Dome in the background. The main difference is just Shanti standing in front and the color scheme. The new Aberration cover goes a different direction as the original. I wanted to … Continue reading Final Two Xenoworld Covers
New Kingdom Cover
The new cover for Kingdom is done! This one might actually be my favorite now. Kingdom is a bit of a weird Xenoworld book. It's the first book in the series where the characters get access to Odin, which is featured on the cover. They jump around all over the place - from the Northern … Continue reading New Kingdom Cover
Welcome to the Universe, Hadrian West!
The day finally came. On 9/21, our little bundle of joy was born on the auspicious day of the autumnal equinox. It's pretty crazy that he's here. I don't really have the measure of his personality yet, but his hobbies seem to include sleeping, drinking milk, crying, and bodily functions. I look forward to the … Continue reading Welcome to the Universe, Hadrian West!
New Sanctum Cover
As I continue to work on the new series (about 20,000 words into Book 3 at the moment), Xenoworld Saga is continuing to undergo its rebrand. This new cover for Book 4, Sanctum, marks the halfway point of the series. It shows Shanti standing in front of the the domed city of Shenshi (what used … Continue reading New Sanctum Cover
