Criss Cross On Sale

A bunch of folks grabbed the first PsyCop, Among the Living, when it was on sale last month...and a bunch more went on to read the whole PsyCop series! But, I know I often pick up a book with the full intention of reading it and then find it moldering behind a bunch of other … Continue reading Criss Cross On Sale

Skin After Skin Audiobook is coming!

Hooray, as of today, Gomez and I have sent the Skin After Skin audiobook off to quality control and publication, so it should hit the electronic shelves within the next week or two. I always imagine this mysterious audio publishing process as a series of elaborate pneumatic tubes.

Getting the ideas flowing

I'm on a mission to re-train myself to write faster. I suspect it's a function of habit that my wordcount isn't what I want it to be (and frankly, it wasn't sustainable.)
