End of the Decade: Top Five Things

It's the end of the year 2019, and of the decade--almost 20 years later than any date I imagined what I'd be doing as an adult when I was a kid. So uncharted territory from childhood me. I pretty much stopped imagining where Stanley Kubrick did, 2001.

But that's a lot of years to cover, and to build top lists for. So today it's TOP FIVE THINGS OF STUFF...for the past amount of randomly chosen time. Ready?

5. I had an awesome couple of years playing trivia. Go, Trivia Super Alliance!

4. I stopped paying for cable.

3. This is Coda, she helps me write and is my friend.
















2. I'm an author now.  I get to write with my best friend, Davonna Juroe. We're working on a fantasy series about a retired wizard who returns to duty to save stuff. Totally top five.
















1. And number one...Baby Yoda, of course

How I sold my book, part 1

For aspiring authors the question of how an author sold his/her first book is always of great interest. They're looking to do the same thing, so of course they'd like to get the ins and outs from someone who has been there. At all the writing conferences I've attended, this question is tops when the panels convene to answer queries from the audience.

There are lots of blogs out there giving advice, most of it useful to a certain extent. But one can only be told to spell correctly and use proper grammar so many times.

The Day Your Books Arrive

  It's always cool to see a FedEx truck pull into your driveway, but especially so when you're expecting something big. My author copies of Lost In Ghostville arrived today. That's a big day for any author--the day you get to see your published work on actual paper, not from your own printer, and bound, with a beautiful cover. Here's my experience opening my box of books.       Take a close look at the cover. The illustration is by Charlie Bowater. I think she made a fantastic cover, and most people who've seen it agree. You can see more of Charlie's work here: http://charlie-bowater.deviantart.com/ . We've never met, but she draws a mean mermaid.

First post!

This is it, my first blog post. And the question you're all asking is, why? Is it because I want to be famous? Blogs don't make you famous. Is it because I've gotten too big for my britches? Possibly. Is it because I like spending so much time with my computer? Hardy-har-har. No, it's really because I want to share my writing with as many people as possible, and to pass out free advice on writing, getting an agent, getting published, junk like that. I'm a sharer.
