I am a reasonably successful self-published author ("successful" means I can pay the bills and am highly rated in my Amazon category), former financial advisor (writing is more fun), and have something in common with Mitt Romney and Donny Osmond. Guess.
Iron Man: the ultimate mecha-man. I don’t normally go and see a movie on opening night, but I decided that if I wanted to enjoy Iron Man 3 without spoilers I needed to do it quickly. Fair warning: this post spoils the hell out of it, so if you want to see it with the … More He did what?
Quite some time ago I reviewed another superhero story I discovered while doing research into the genre. The book was Power Down and I reviewed it here. I am pleased to announce that Ben White has now published the fourth book in the Charlotte Powers series: Rising Power.As you can tell from the cover, things … More A “Super” Series.

So if you enjoyed the book and would like to help promote it, post this on Facebook, tweet it, etc. I would love to give a thousand copies away! On other news, I will be manning a table sponsored by … More Wearing the Cape Giveaway!
Under different circumstances, I’d have thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Yes, heaven may bear a strong resemblance to a book festival.

It’s that special day again, for both the lover and the love-lorn, and so close to Mardi Gras, too. Let the good times roll! More seriously, I’m in final preparations for the Tucson Festival of Books (March 8th-10th), and trying not to let it distract me from writing. With all of the books I’ve ordered … More Share the Love!
Hello everyone, and sorry I’m posting so irregularly right now. Still working on Young Sentinels although I can’t give a firm release date. For one thing, YS will be the first book for which I will be paying for a professional edit! Try as I might, the previous books have all rolled out with embarrassing … More Young Sentinels, Peek and Update.
Behold the cover. I’ve got to say that this was really fun. Apprentice writers are encouraged to start with short stories, but I have never been able to condense an idea down to less than 50,000 words. But the concept for Omega Night, now available on Amazon, came as a flashback to a hundred Superman … More Omega Nights and New Years.
Where are they now? There’s another word for teen sidekicks. It’s child-soldiers. I stumbled across this gem on TV Tropes, followed the link to Amazon, and… well, go there to read my review. I’ll say this here; Seanan McGuire gets it. Too many writers approach superhero stories from the deconstructive angle, but what they don’t … More The Velveteen Hero

Hey everyone, and hope you all had a great Halloween. I tried to do my bit by getting Bite Me up in October, and it’s selling well although it has yet to be reviewed by anyone into vampire stories. Been busy since on three projects; one, of course, is Young Sentinels, which I hope to … More Stuff I Think You Should Know.
