I gave my blog a new look again. It was looking cluttered. And since I’m at a standstill with my writing and art projects, I figured I’d have a go at blog design and pray for something appealing. This came after I gave up the idea of pulling the plug on my blog altogether. LifeContinue reading My Blog’s New Look

My Little Blog Is 5
Come Wattpad with Me
I like online sites that let writers/authors post their writing/books free without taking control of the content. Wattpad is one of those sites, which I joined a couple years ago. It was during the same time that I created an author page at Goodreads, and I spent nearly all my online time there, listing myContinue reading Come Wattpad with Me
99-cent eNovel
Beginning 8:00 AM (PST) tomorrow, you can buy my e-novel Night of the Hellhounds for 99 cents at Amazon. I am still trying to get them to price it as a Perma-Free book. Meanwhile, I hope my book will see some attention from readers who enjoy fantasy stories. For readers without the Kindle e-reader, youContinue reading 99-cent eNovel
Who I Am at Amazon [author news]
When I wrote Night of the Hellhounds: A Novel last year and placed it at Amazon for the Kindle e-reader, the folks at Amazon confused it with Night of the Hellhounds: A Ridgewood Short Story that I published two years ago, and they placed the two books together, despite the distinction of separate ASINs forContinue reading Who I Am at Amazon [author news]
Should I Tweet, or Not
I am considering taking part in the Twitterverse, a micro social world that a close friend tells me is filled with narcissism and is top on her list of websites dumbing down society. Setting her personal feelings aside, I have noticed here at WordPress and at Facebook that many artists and writers I follow areContinue reading Should I Tweet, or Not
My Gripes About Google and Google+
No matter what your job is, your tools should work for you, not against you. As a writer, I research my stories, which means I spend a lot of time searching the Internet. For that, I need a reliable search engine. Until recently, that engine was Google until it became unreliable to get me theContinue reading My Gripes About Google and Google+
A Rant about Amazon Book Reviews
This isn’t a new rant … my friends and family can attest to that. It began when my wife bought me a Kindle a few years ago and I set out reading the self-pub books at Amazon. With so many, many books added to the list each day and with me having so little timeContinue reading A Rant about Amazon Book Reviews
Always Busy Writing and Painting
Anyone following my blog would assume that I’m rarely busy writing or making art, simply because of the lengthy gaps between my posts. But that’s far from the truth. I’m busy every day working on my stories and art, from creating new chapters and editing old material, to sketching in my sketchbooks or actually composingContinue reading Always Busy Writing and Painting
My Blog’s Newest Look
I have begun a makeover for this site, and I’ve chosen Typo as my theme. This is the only WordPress theme I’ve found that’s closest to my personality: grays colored with a few pastel colors … which means I needed to redo my header and eliminate the cold blue background. I added some warmth toContinue reading My Blog’s Newest Look
Some Tools For the Online Book Writer
I spent the morning changing my PubIt! Account at Barnes & Noble to NOOK Press. Although I have only two of my five Ridgewood Chronicles books there, I plan to add the others soon. I also brought down the prices to $0.99 per book. The new prices may take a day or two to appearContinue reading Some Tools For the Online Book Writer
