Creating a book trailer 0 (0)

Authors are now encouraged to have book trailers (usually before the book comes out, but I flouted tradition, again). There are companies who will create book trailers for authors, but what does a former software engineer with a dangerous bit of Photoshop (PS) experience think when looking at those prices? I can do that myself! […]

Book covers, and the changing face of Ariane Kedros 0 (0)

I have the new Pathfinder cover displayed on the web site. One point is obvious when looking at the three covers: Major Ariane Kedros sure changes a lot, doesn’t she? Actually, in Ariane’s world, identity isn’t tied to appearance any more. Don’t like your face or body shape, skin color, hair color, or eye color? […]

Merry Christmas 0 (0)

Because of Mem’s funeral, I had to push my review of the Pathfinder copyeditor changes in to December. After that, we ran around the house cleaning and throwing away junk (or hiding it–which is good enough, right?) My sister and her husband, as well as my parents, stayed with us over Christmas. It’s been a […]

My vague title, which was based upon theme and […]

Monument Art Hop, my new Sony Reader 0 (0)

It’s been a busy month, what with the RMFW Colorado Gold Conference, a signing, my birthday, etc. The signing was at a local bookstore (Covered Treasures) during the last Monument Art Hop of the summer. If you live near Monument, CO, then I recommend getting to those summer Art Hops, as well as the outdoor […]

Taking a breather 0 (0)

I feel like a bear who just dragged itself out of its winter cave, blinking blearily at the sunshine. What? Did I miss spring? (Not all of it, according to the chilly temperatures in Monument, CO.) I’ve been holed up working on Pathfinder, running out only for emergencies such as the PPW Conference and the […]
