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 […]

#SaturdayScenes: Decisive Moment, Chapter 4

What does an author do when he wants more folks to read one of his favorite stories? Well, this one gives it away… at least the first bits of it. Because I want you to read them. Starting this weekend, I’m running a Decisive Moment promo. To give you a taste for this quirky, fast-paced […]

Don’t Miss your DECISIVE MOMENT… Promo!

Dropping a quick note that over the next week, I will be running a Decisive Moment promo, wherever eBooks are sold… Well, wherever they let me sell them, I should say. If you haven’t picked it up yet, this will be a good time to get it before it goes back to its regularly scheduled […]

Why Story Immersion Is First And Foremost Voluntary

Watching my Tracking Jane series unfold, and noting reader reactions, both communicated in writing and via online reviews, I’ve confirmed most of what I suspected and feared as I developed the storyline. Some readers can’t stand the story. Others love it. Some have mixed feelings, and in the end, the main character and her struggle […]

Social Media and The Big SO WHAT

I realize there’s no way I can broach this subject without getting flagged as grumpy, disconnected, or otherwise utterly clueless. I therefore feel compelled to tell you: I get social media, I’ve “engaged” in it in one form or another for years, yes, I’ve struggled to comprehend its inner-workings, and I’ve enjoyed its benefits. All […]

#SaturdayScenes: Decisive Moment, Chapter 3

What does an author do when he wants more folks to read one of his favorite stories? Well, this one gives it away… at least the first bits of it. Because I want you to read them. In the next couple of weeks I’ll be running a Decisive Moment promo. To give you a taste […]

Thirty-five Years Plus One Day

Not being as diligent or punctual or mindful as Dad, I missed it by one day. Lucky me, Dad sent an email yesterday to remind us: “Another year, another remembrance of the day we all became free. We pray that we never forget where we came from and how much we have been blessed since.” […]

Blood Track Coming Sooon; Heart Track in Work

I’m happy to report Blood Track went out to Beta readers two days ago. Pleased with how this story turned out, I look forward to this novel’s release within the next month. Yes, I said novel! Excited as I am about Blood Track‘s release, a writer only feels as on track as his latest and […]

Review: Stone Age, by ML Banner

For a while, with no small degree of admiration–OK, and a tad of envy–I have watched M.L. Banner’s progress as an indie author. Whatever I may say in the rest of this review, his storytelling has demonstrably engaged a great many readers. Launching off with Stone Age, his books have landed on the upper echelons […]

Technology: The Good, The Bad…The Ugly In Us

I hesitate to jump into this subject. Much has been written, both in scholarly and press/media circles about whether the technology, especially its hyper-accelerated advancement in recent years, acts as a force for good or evil. What can I add? Little more than yet another perspective, to be sure. Yet, we can’t escape the question. […]
