Before we dive into the meat of the podcast, we completely forgot to mention that Zoey and Finding Salvation Part One placed as finalists in their respective categories in the 2025 Independent Author Network Book of the Year Awards.

More 99¢ Titles
Funny how the writing life turns out. We looked at our library one day and realized we have seven (!) series either done or in progress. We changed the Amazon prices of the first e-books of those series down to 99¢, and we were happy to see readers bought some of those books. They alsoContinue reading “More 99¢ Titles”
Series
In this episode of our award-winning podcast where we “help writers write,” we talk at length about the power of writing a series. Frankly, I never intended to write a series and, in fact, was adamant against them because I felt them to be constricting.

I’m a Nevada nerd and have been for as long as I remember: Being aContinue reading “A Nevadan Writes About Nevada”
The Great Outdoors
In this episode of our award-winning podcast, we’re recovering from two great outdoor book signings with the Sierra Arts Foundation (SAF) in Reno, Nevada, and the Brewery Arts Center (BAC) in Carson City.
