Review: Murder out of the Blue, by Steve Turnbull

If you can’t put up with a story that doesn’t start with a bang and careens forward without letting you catch your breath, you might not deem Steve Turnbull’s Murder out of the Blue worth the trouble. You might start on the first few pages and think nothing is happening. Except something is. The rich, […]

Review: Scarlet Angel by C.A. Wilke

Scarlet Angel by C.A. Wilke is the kind of story where one should hold on for dear life with little concern or notice for what transpires on the periphery. For the parts where it delivers the blistering, action-based pace that maintains unrestrained reader compulsion to keep turning pages, it works rather well. Overall, in spite […]

Three Take-aways from My First Year as an Indie Author

Too busy with my writing, the one year mark since I indie-published my first novel, DEAD BEEF, came and went, and I failed to commemorate it. It’s been a crazy year (plus a month and a half now). I released two short story collections, and launched two series of novels and novellas. I would mention […]

Has Social Media Turned Us Into Follower Collectors?

Since I wrote about the Dynamics of Followship, asking what exactly we’re trying to accomplish in getting more and more followers, I’ve continued to examine this question. Today, while talking with someone about the futility of follower-hunting, a new descriptor crossed my mind. I even uttered it. We are turning into follower collectors. Maybe we […]
