Computer, easily surmountable. Two sick kids with tummy bugs…not so much. There is no support community or quick fix for that [...]

I was overjoyed to receive the news that Jolly Rogered received a 4.5-star, Top Pick review from Vallerianna over at Night Owl Romance! It made me squee to see that someone else loved Nigel as much as I do.
It’s easy for a writer to become obsessed about finding reviews–it can really kill your [...]

One of the driving forces that made me want to write Jolly Rogered was one of the heroes, Nigel Fortescue. Where Roger whispered his story into my ear, and politely waited until I was ready to write, when Nigel finally decided to dish dirt, he did not want to wait for a good time. He [...]

Epublishing’s terrain favors the light and the quick. Large, lumbering organizations that are unable to turn on a dime or pinpoint a trending subject will be lagging. Not that there aren’t advantages about playing it safe, but if the music industry has shown us anything, it’s that consumable entertainment–music, games, web shows, media including stories–needs [...]

Every single one of us, no matter how many times we’ve had a book launch (or how few) will very likely confess to at least one trusted person, that it’s a thrill–that is, if we’re not squeeing it from the rooftops in a Halloween costume (or nothing at all). These are the moments we live [...]

So, on Monday, Jolly Rogered releases from Liquid Silver Books. I feel like I should be out there (wherever “there” is in Romancelandia) to promote it, but all I can think to do is, well, let it sell itself (I think I’d make the world’s worst pimp, LOL).
