Pandemics suck! Not only are scores of people getting sick and dying, a pandemic messes with all parts of life. Our work and school lives are in upheaval, our mental and emotional health is impacted, our ability to see a clear path to the future has been diverted through a cold, swampy darkness of uncertainty

In the time that I have been part of the Writing Community on Twitter, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know a number of people who bring an enhanced level of skill and talent to the mix. These people are among us and in this feature, I want to introduce a few of them.

Storm At Dawn quietly entered the arena this past weekend on a little table, in a curling arena in the middle of southern BC, Canada. It was an inauspicious launch for the second book in the Rubicon Saga, but it was exactly how I wanted it – no Drama! Well, maybe there could have been

If you had told me five years ago, that I would be a science fiction author with one book out, and another on the way, I would have laughed at you. Seriously. Even today, I have a hard time grasping what has happened since I dived in and did this thing. I sit here today,

The promotional journey for We Are Mars has been an interesting one. As an indie author, I’ve found events are the hardest thing for me to organise and to get onto my calendar, but when I do, I have loads of fun and wonder why I’m not doing more. In recent months, I’ve attended a

I have a confession to make… I absolutely LOVED the Kelowna Comic Con! The event was amazing and I met so many great people. I enjoyed the vibe and the spirit of the event. If you’ve never attended a comic con, now’s the time to dive in. There were some great celebrities – people that

We Are Mars is close to its four month anniversary and it’s time for me to take a step back and ask the hard question – How are we doing, book? SALES So far, I’ve seen modest sales. No surprises there – I am bootstrapping into a flooded market place. But the sales I’ve had
