    Thinking of Dictating?

    Kevin J Anderson can show you how it is done. On Kevin’s Dan Shamble Kickstarter campaign, he has the raw audio files of the entire new book he dictated, untouched. If you ever thought of wanting to dictate fiction, listen to how Kevin does it. The entire raw file at the $100 reward level. No professional author who dictates ever lets anyone see their raw file. This is the chance to get one for his new book and learn from the entire raw file, first word to last. Plus you get a copy of the ebook to compare it to. ONE MAJOR PROBLEM… Kickstarter campaign only has 44 hours left…

    Aliens Among Us Storybundle

    Yes, Still Going On… Six days left and some great science fiction books by great writers. I got to curate this and I even mentioned it here when I was looking for books. Fun putting it together. Following, I am going to reprint my blog about it. I put this blog here two weeks ago just before we started the Kickstarter. I hope you grab a bundle for some great reading. WWW.Storybundle.com/aliens Here is my original blog… One thing science fiction fans think about when you say “Aliens Among Us” is aliens like body snatchers, or Grays flitting around Area 51. None of that in this group of great novels…

    Searching for Art

    Hours Spent… I finished my short story fairly early tonight, so was going to go get some sleep but then decided to check our account on Deposit Photos and discovered that I was going to lose my monthly number of art downloads if I didn’t use them in the next ten hours. Yikes. So for two hours tonight I downloaded art that I might use for February stories that I haven’t done covers for. Didn’t end up using all of the credits, but used a bunch of them. Eyes just ran out of gas (or something like that.) And don’t forget that the fantastic Cattitude Storybundle only has five days…

    A Great Reason For Almost Missing This Blog…

    I Was Reading a New Fey Novella… And I got caught up in it and suddenly realized as I stood to go to the rest room that I hadn’t written a blog yet. Yes, this novella is the one for the Kickstarter, and I’ll do an update through Kickstarter as to when those of you who backed that will get the novella. And the workshop and stuff. Kris tells me she is close to also finishing at least one new Fey novel. (Yes, she writes more than one book at a time.) And all this on our anniversary. Fun day. Now, if you will excuse me, I’m going to go…

    Something Added to Motivational Mondays

    Three Learning and Motivational Videos Every Monday Morning… And the first ones are about to go up, since it is now early Monday morning. For those signed up, they are in the first quarter, of course, even though this is still December. But on a whim, I added something more for most every Monday. A pithy, motivational quote in a 4th video. Sometimes it might have something to do with the three other videos. Sometimes not. This first one not so much. But a good one to focus on for the new year. So the first Motivational Monday is today. I will finish and post this blog, then go make…

    Short Post Because I Was Reading…

    Kris’s New Diving Novel… Yes, as with any of Kris’s books, once I got into it, there was no stopping, so it is late, I finished the book (of course) and it was impossible to put down (as normal). So nothing I have the energy or will to write here to keep my streak alive at this point other than to remind you of the fantastic Holiday Collections Bundle from Storybundle. 11 fantastic collections with some of the best holiday reading you can get. Don’t miss this one. A ton of short holiday stories of all types.
