I have this master plan... really it's just a schedule for upcoming posts. For today, it said Book Production Update. Sounds official at least, right? but when I sat down to write, I realized anything I could post about would be horribly boring. I've already written about anything interesting and really, I'm now in a… Continue reading Updates Pending…

Adventure of Choice where you’re competing in the King’s Tournament to save a family member.
Blessed by Kickstarter Success!
The Adventure Kickstarter came to a close yesterday, 109% funded. The generosity and support people gave this last month warms my heart. I really didn't know what to expect when I launched the project and the response I got seriously brings tears to my eyes, like a giant hug from everyone I've met and even… Continue reading Blessed by Kickstarter Success!
HA! KDP Figured
Formatting, formatting, formatting... This post deals with the difference between formatting for a physical book in CreateSpace and formatting for the digital copy in KDP. There may be a bit of ranting. You have been warned. You design a book for CreateSpace, picturing the physical copy in your hand. There's a helpful, little option in… Continue reading HA! KDP Figured

Here's my top three: People are insanely generous and supportive. I'm an introvert. I'm… Continue reading Learning Curve
A Peek Inside The Tournament
Rain drips from the porch above, and the siding of the building weeps with moisture. For the moment, though, you’re dry. Your small, sheltered spot is just a protected piece of cobblestone. It’s a two-foot by two-foot section where the rain isn’t drenching the ground. There’s not even enough space to lie down, but the… Continue reading A Peek Inside The Tournament
It Comes with Rewards?!
Why yes, there are rewards for anyone who backs The Adventure on Kickstarter. This is one of the coolest parts of running a Kickstarter. First off, your name will end up in print. I.E. You'll be added to the acknowledgements of the book! From there, the rewards depend on the level at which you support… Continue reading It Comes with Rewards?!
It’s Me…Yikes!
I'm an INTROVERT. I recharge when I'm alone. I have no problem spending days reading and hanging out at home...maybe that's why I'm a writer. I get kind of freaked out about calling people, or stopping by work when I'm not on the schedule, or being in big crowds. (Anyone with me here?) But I'm… Continue reading It’s Me…Yikes!
