It’s been a weekend of headaches jumping though Amazon’s hoops to get the plagiarized versions of my first two books removed from their store. This process reset to 99c the “permanently free” price-matching Amazon did for me, but it looks like the books are free once again in the Australian and US stores. I’ve askedContinue reading “Three Horn Toots”

Introducing Blunderbelly
In my Wynter Wild series, middle brother Indio plays in a college band called Blunderbelly. It sounds like a name they dreamed up while drunk or high, and I have no idea how it came to me as I was neither at the time… Blunderbelly’s never gonna make the big time. I love it, andContinue reading “Introducing Blunderbelly”
Cover reveal! Book 4 Lost Melodies
Here ’tis! Lost Melodies is the fourth installment of the Wynter Wild series. I’ve almost finished uploading book 3 to Wattpad, and it’ll be a few weeks before I start uploading book 4. NOTE: It will be tagged “Mature” on Wattpad, as it’s suitable for ages 16+ due to adult themes (among other things). Meanwhile,Continue reading “Cover reveal! Book 4 Lost Melodies”
Little Sister Song is out now on Kindle
I’ve just published Little Sister Song (book 1 of the Wynter Wild series) on Kindle!
What’s it like on Wattpad? Part 3
I’ve been talking about my experience so far after a couple of months sharing my books on Wattpad. Wattpad allows you to tag your stories so interested readers can find them. It was through the tag system I first realized there’s a sub-genre of general and YA fiction revolving around siblings. In most cases, theContinue reading “What’s it like on Wattpad? Part 3”
What’s it like on Wattpad? Part 2
In my last post I talked about my reasons for using Wattpad, and how my first two books are doing since I started uploading them, chapter by chapter, about 6 weeks ago. I wanted to share a few thoughts about how this method of sharing my books differs on a more personal level with theContinue reading “What’s it like on Wattpad? Part 2”
What’s it like on Wattpad?
In late December I started uploading chapters of Little Sister Song to Wattpad. That story is now complete on the site, and I’ve almost finished uploading Out of Tune (book 2) as well. I thought I’d talk a bit about my reasons for using Wattpad to distribute these books, and my experience so far.
Read Little Sister Song on Wattpad
UPDATE: Little Sister Song is now available for purchase on Amazon. Just a heads-up that Little Sister Song, book 1 of the Wynter Wild series, is now uploaded and complete on Wattpad, a free book platform where books can be serialized. In the future I’ll be releasing the first few books of the Wynter WildContinue reading “Read Little Sister Song on Wattpad”
Pure emotion songs
I know, I know, you disagree! Maybe with all five. But don’t blame me. These are Indio’s “pure emotion” songs, meaning, according to him, they bypass the cerebral cortex and drive directly into the brainstem. The list is guitar-heavy because he’s guitar-heavy. These songs aren’t my “songlist” for writing to—I prefer instrumental music for that.Continue reading “Pure emotion songs”
Personality Typing for Made-Up People
I became fascinated by personality typing years ago. I see personality typing as a model of actual humans, meaning it’s a structure we’ve imposed on the messy natural world in order to understand it, rather than a real thing. For this reason, I think it probably works better on fictional characterization than actual humans. InContinue reading “Personality Typing for Made-Up People”
