    Cover me! I’m going in…

    I’ve done a lot of book covers over the years, and had a lot of fun doing it. I’m not quitting, just celebrating some recent releases.  Most recent is Kal Sprigg’s latest.  Valor’s Inheritance was a different challenge for me. It’s the latest release in a long-running series, so I needed to fit the series…

    Work Weekend

    So I have three days off from the day job, and my reaction was ‘goodie! I can do the other job!’ and maybe I’m broken, but this is what I mean when I say that…  I started my morning a little late, with the Mad Genius Club blog post, wherein I postpone the deadline for…

    Book Covers and Designs

    Graphic Stuff

    I have a post up at the Mad Genius Club this morning. The First Reader will have a post up here later today.  And I’m not talking about describing the gory bits in gruesome detail. No, I had planned to do a walk-through tutorial today about creating a logo for your writing business. I hadn’t…

  • Desk Sweepings

    It’s been a busy week, and it isn’t over yet. I’m falling behind on my writing schedule, which means that I shall write a short bit here, then accomplish breakfast, kiss my First Reader goodbye as he heads out to work… and take myself offline to do at least 3000 words. I think I can…
