Did you know that you can actually get into a relationship with one of the big publishers, Penguin, without an agent? It’s true. I swear. Know how? DAW. That’s how. What’s DAW? They’re a book publisher. Started back in the 70s by Donald A. Wollheim (get it? D.A.W.? DAW?) and his wife Elsie, they wereContinue reading “Places To Send Your Sci-Fi Novel”

Blame Hugh Howey
I’ve got two parts of my novel How It Ends up and published on Amazon, here and here. Part three will be coming out in the early part of January.

So when I saw this, I thought “Maybe I should learn a bit more about this contest to which he’s lent his face.” I went toContinue reading “Writers Of The Future Contest”

Readers love to ask questions of authors like “Where do you get your ideas?” I know, as a reader, I’ve wondered that myself in the past. There are reasons why ancient civilizations personified the deliverance of ideas for artist works, gave them names, called them gods. To this day, we still show a certain reverenceContinue reading ““The Dance”: Behind The Scenes”
Call for Sci-Fi Submissions
This was brought to my attention by a friend of mine yesterday.
