As you can tell from my place on the Bestsellers List, I'm an expert...at being a marketing noob.  Knowledge is power, they say, so I thought I'd share with you my experiences. Get your social media game up.  I got a blog. I got a Facebook page.  I tweet, for some reason.  I even push … Continue reading A Noob’s Guide to Marketing Books

Happy Father's Day!  Here's a picture from my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, of me and my awesome Dad (and also my awesome aunt, his sister!) We're a good lookin' family, ain't we?  I know so many amazing dads and father figures, I wish you all a wonderful day, and thanks for being you. So what is … Continue reading Daddy Issues: Fathers in Fiction

An author friend of mine was talking to me about how weird it is that these characters get so real that they become their own people.  And I was like...no, it's not weird.

Today's post is brought to you by a hapless Buzzfeed "article" about self-defense. I've got a thing about realism in books.  I can totally buy that there's a dragon who enjoys musicals, or that there's a new sort of spaceship that moves faster than the speed of light and runs on anti-photons or whatever, but people … Continue reading IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT: A rant

  Holy you-know-what how did it get so late on Sunday!  I don't have the next Person of Interest ready for you yet, because I think I have a cosmic block on my ability to video edit.  Seriously.  My eighth grade powerpoint presentation had better transitions and effects than my first adult attempt at cutting … Continue reading

Hello all! We're taking another week off before the final installment (I hope just one more week! Video editing is rough) of the Persons of Interest series. In the meantime, I'm reading books! Apparently it's cool now to read physics for fun, but I haven't gotten that cool yet, so what's your favorite fiction! I'm … Continue reading Lookin’ for Books. AKA Book Me
