Reader reviews are one of the most heartfelt ways you can thank an author for entertaining you, or moving you, or even blowing your mind. The sort of reviews you write for Amazon and other book seller sites are called “reader reviews” and they’re a lot different from professional reviews. No one expects readers,

Kinda blown away by how many of you pre-ordered the boxed set! Thank you! I intended to give you the pre-order links for the print version, today. Amazon, alas, had a hissy-fit over the cover having the words “Boxed set” on it. We’ve got the cover back with the cover artist, to adjust the wording,

If you’ve been following my blog posts for a while, it is probably not a big shock to you if I tell you that I am subscribed to several productivity blogs.

I get a lot of mail from readers asking for technical help, usually for very simple things like uploading books to their readers. A lot of these same readers add something along the lines of “I’m not very computer savvy…” Surprisingly, it’s not just my romance readers who say this. I’m probably typecasting/profile wildly when

Bogus but Beautiful – Crop Circles Everyone has heard of crop circles. Wikipedia actually list the phenomenon in amongst other paranormal events and abilities. But the truth is, most crop circles (or crop formations, as they’ve generally become known) are the result of very human activity. There have been recorded cases of crop circles being

I’ve been reading all the social network posts about the Covid19 lockdowns and social distancing, and the many ways people have discovered or invented to keep themselves occupied. Singing opera on balconies, building Lego cities…there’s been some amazing ideas (here and here for some of them). My own response has been very cliched: When I
