My parents are in town and I’ve fallen a bit behind on my blogging schedule, so to keep up the daily blogging thing I thought I’d share this image from one of my favorite books, Momo by Michael Ende. Be sure to check out the artist’s page on Deviantart too.

Not a new book, just a new cover!
So a couple of weeks ago, I got an email out of the blue from Derek Murphy over at CreativIndie Covers. He’s a cover designer who periodically does cover makeovers for indie writers, as a way to bring in business and build his own reputation. He wanted to do an experiment to see if he… Continue reading Not a new book, just a new cover!
Addicted to typesetting
So I just realized it’s been a looong time since I posted anything besides Trope Tuesday posts on this blog. A lot of things have happened, and I’ve got a lot of things I want to blog about, but really all my spare time has been spent happily typesetting for Stars of Blood and Glory… Continue reading Addicted to typesetting
Update on STAR WANDERERS and a sneak peek at some cover art
So in case you didn’t know, I’ve been getting an omnibus edition ready for Star Wanderers. It’s subtitled The Jeremiah Chronicles, and contains parts I-IV (Outworlder, Fidelity, Sacrifice, and Homeworld). This covers the first major series arc, with all of the stories from Jeremiah’s point of view–hence the title. I commissioned Ina Wong from Deviant… Continue reading Update on STAR WANDERERS and a sneak peek at some cover art
Thoughts on ebook parts and a sneak peek of STAR WANDERERS: DREAMWEAVER (aka Star Home)
There’s been some discussion on forums and the blogosphere recently about the different parts that should make up an ebook, and what order they should be in. J.A. Konrath just did an interesting blog post on the subject, in which he picks his own books apart and gives some advice. At the moment, here is… Continue reading Thoughts on ebook parts and a sneak peek of STAR WANDERERS: DREAMWEAVER (aka Star Home)
Still traveling
So I think I’ve clocked in about 1,000 kilometers this past week, mostly between Kutaisi and Tbilisi. Seen some interesting things, met a lot of interesting people, made some good memories, and thought a lot of deep and poignant thoughts. Unfortunately, all this travel isn’t conducive to blogging. I’ve got five days before I fly… Continue reading Still traveling
My Muse
A long time ago, I did a whimsical post about my muse and what she is like. Imagine my surprise when I found a picture of her on Deviant Art! I had a lot of fun with that post, so I thought I’d revisit it. Enjoy! Young Universe by *DestinyBlue on deviantARTMy muse is about… Continue reading My Muse
New cover for Bringing Stella Home!
Yep, it’s in! Here it is: I decided to redo the cover in preparation for a print-on-demand edition which I hope to release at some point this summer. The artist is Hideyoshi, who also did the cover art for Genesis Earth and Desert Stars. He’s great to work with and does some seriously awesome work, so… Continue reading New cover for Bringing Stella Home!
A few interesting things
In between teaching English and putting in my daily word count (between 1k and 2k most recently), I’ve come across some interesting things worth sharing. If you’re a fellow writer, I’m sure you’ll appreciate this stuff, but even if you’re just a reader, it’s worth checking out. First, there’s an excellent article at The Nation… Continue reading A few interesting things
Quick update and Star Wanderers cover previews
First off, I’m happy to say that Stars of Blood and Glory is coming along quite nicely. I’m currently finishing up with the last couple of chapters, and should have the first draft done by the middle of next week. Hopefully by then I’ll know if and when I’m starting my TEFL job overseas, but I’m… Continue reading Quick update and Star Wanderers cover previews
