Last week, I wrote a post about a marketing experiment I was doing, the main objective being to increase my readership and, hopefully, generate some interest in my upcoming new release, No Quarter.

Walking Through Rivendell
About twenty-five years ago, I went on a trip around Europe. I was living in Canada at the time and this was my first big holiday by myself, so it was a Big Deal. The trip brought its own set of challenges and experiences, most of them positive, as well as some marvellous memories. OneContinue reading “Walking Through Rivendell”

The Joy Of Reading
So here’s something interesting. The paperback version of Oak and Mist is outselling the e-book version by more than two-to-one. When I published, it was very important to me to have a paperback version of the book, as I personally feel that there is a wonderful permanence to being able to hold a book inContinue reading “The Joy Of Reading”
