Kinda excited to announce my first discount sale. Starting sometime later tonight and extending until March 7th, I’m lowering the price on A Warrior’s Path to just $2.99. If you know someone who might be interested in the book, now would be a great time for them to buy it! Here are the links! Amazon Barnes and…
It’s always a little scary to read books that I loved when I was younger since my tastes now are so different. That said, even though I never liked The Elenium as much as The Belgariad: Volume One, I sure did like it a lot when it first came out. So when I saw it at…
As an experiment, I advertised on Facebook between 2/22/2014-2/24/2014 to see if I could increase sales of A Warrior’s Path. My dollar limit was set pretty high at $25/day for the first two days and $15 for the third day. I targeted the ad to include people from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and India…
I can’t wait for this! Might even have to break out the piggy bank and watch it in Imax.
Over on my Facebook page, I’m running an ad to see if I can drum up sales for A Warrior’s Path. As a self-published author, I kinda have to worry about silly things like marketing since there isn’t anyone else to do it. More importantly, I’m following along the paths laid down by Michael Sullivan,…

The Unrecognized Trajectory of Slow Burn Success by Janny Wurts BTW if you haven’t read Janny’s Empire series with Raymond Feist, you’re missing out on…
The title of the post is lifted from my youngest son. He’ll get a thought in his little noggin and say something like, “It wonders me why the sky is blue?” Love that phrasing. I’m still stuck in the Purgatory of studying for my Boards, but there is a small ray of hope. While I…
My wife suggested I give this sweet, lovely book a try. It’s different from anything that I usually read since it is essentially a story written in blank verse. I read it over a period of a week – five minutes here, 10 minutes there. The book is an quick, easy read, but by easy I…
Winters in NC tend to be short and mild, and this year was no exception. We got a few cold spells and some snow, but overall, it’s been pretty nice. It’s certainly a lot better than where I grew up in Cincinnati, OH, where they’ve been stuck in some polar vortex for the past month…
Sometime yesterday, the 1000th copy of A Warrior’s Path was purchased. A HUGE thank you to everyone who’s taken a chance on a no-name, first time author and bought my book! For me, one thousand sales represents something more than just a number. It’s a North Star. It’s more a goal and a guide. It means that…
