I geek out on the science lessons today, waxing nerdy on lily pad blossoms, phototropism, thigmotropism, and also the COVID vaccine. You never know what will be served for breakfast here! Also a heartfelt thank you.

Happy Earth Day! I'm talking about why I don't believe in conspiracy theories (people just aren't that clever), getting into the rhythm of drafting again, how my views of travel have changed, and RWA's summer retreat.

I'm explaining why I'm not a Vellum fan like so many, and who I use for formatting my self-published books. Also how I don't like when Big Name Authors look down on other authors who might not have the same measures of success.

The BBeBooks website, the formatter I recommend, is here (https://bbebooksthailand.com/).

The importance of daily practice - as advised by a concert pianist - and how schedule and routine disruptions can derail us. Also, yes, I'm wearing my glasses.

Should You Reference the COVID-19 Pandemic in Your Writing?

So exciting! DARK WIZARD, Book #1 in a totally new series – new world, new magic system, new everything! – is coming February 25, 2021. You can preorder now.

Available at these Retailers

 

    

Yes, I know I just released a book last week, but sometimes this is how balancing an Indie career with a Trad one works out. Probably we could do a theme week on that topic. Suffice to say, I’d already planned out and begun the Heirs of Magic series, when this book – finished and very sparkly to my eye – was returned to my aegis. I could have sat on it. Or I could just launch this series, too!

You all know me (or you should, by now) – I checked my Gantt charts and decided to go for it.

Our actual topic at the SFF Seven this week is *not* filling the pipeline with projects in order to juggle the demands of a career as a hybrid author. It is, however, not entirely unrelated. We’re discussing topicality and making choices about what to write and publish – “In These times of plague: Writing about the real world in fiction.” Come on over for my advice!
