Point of View: I’m In it Now

I have dived into the deep end, and the water’s rising high! This week, I started seriously working on my first self publication project – The River City Chronicles. Not the manuscript – that’s been done for months. I’m talking about the nitty-gritty work of preparing all the stuff and submitting it to distributors to actually get the book out there. It’s a lot harder than I thought. I’m using Vellum to prep the book, and it’s been a fricking Godsend. Very easy to use, and so many options. I can see what the book will look like in ALL … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Punch Drunk and Slap Happy

Sleepy Scott

I have to admit, I approached the prospect of writing today’s column with a bit of trepidation. It’s almost never a good idea to write sleepy. I spent a lot of yesterday afternoon and evening prepping my first book for self publication – “The River City Chronicles” should come out in about a month or so, date to be announced soon. Then I spent the rest of the night in bed obsessing over what I still had to do. You see, I have this condition called writer’s’s brain. In the clear morning light, it’s obvious that most of the stuff I … Read more

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. Today, JD Chambers – JD Chambers wanted at various times to be Indiana Jones, Pat Benatar, and Wonder Woman when she grew up. She never considered writing down the stories she crafted in her head. They provided nothing more than entertainment for long drives or sleepless nights, until one particular story insisted it didn’t want to reside only in her noggin. She hasn’t stopped writing since.. Thanks so much, JD, for joining me! … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: At the Top of the Mountain

Mountaintop - Point of View

Hey all, Okay, I’m almost there. Last night at about ten minutes to ten, I typed the final words of the climactic chapter in “Ithani,” the last book in the Oberon Cycle trilogy. There’s still a bit of wrap-up to do – what I euphemistically call the “return to the Shire” part of the book, where everything else is put in good order. But the hardest part is over. Most of the loose ends are wrapped up, and I’m about to send the novel off to Beta this week. Logically, I know it’s a great thing. I’ve been working toward … Read more
