Thoughts on Minimum Viable Product
So I read an article on Draft2Digital’s blog about Minimum Viable Product and what it means for writers, and it got me to thinking about what that means for books in general, and my own books in particular. From what I’ve managed to gather (and I could be totally wrong), the controversy in the indie… Continue reading Thoughts on Minimum Viable Product
Genesis Earth now available in paperback
For the last couple of months, all of my paperbacks have been unavailable due to some quality control problems with KDP Paperback.

But for now, it still remains the best option for getting my books out in paperback, so that’s what I’m doing until… Continue reading Genesis Earth now available in paperback

That way, I have an image I can use whenever I’m blogging about it. Also should help with promotions. Gunslinger to the Galaxy is coming along well. Should finish… Continue reading Gunslinger to the Galaxy cover—how do you like it?
What do you guys think?
Looking for some feedback here. I was hoping to do something big and awesome for the cover, but the artist I wanted to do it was too booked, and I’ve been having a hard time finding anyone else who quite fits the bill. And then I realized that since this is the first book in… Continue reading What do you guys think?

Playing with cover art
So last week, I was dinking around with some images, making a cover mock-up for a Star Wanderers short story that’s currently on submission to Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. This is what I came up with: The model is Devon Jade, photographed by Aaron Tyree on Deviantart (CC BY 2.5). The background image… Continue reading Playing with cover art
