Giveaway! Five days only!

I'm giving away a free, SIGNED softcover of ON THE GATHERING STORM, my best-selling debut novel. Goodreads is being tough on me regarding the rules of their giveaways, but I'll say this to readers of my blog.

If you win and you get it touch with me, I'll make out the signature to anyone you wish!

Behind The Words // Hugh Howey

Many of you will already be familiar with my guest today. Hugh Howey's breakout success came with his indie series Wool which has sold like a bazillion copies and landed him on the New York Times bestseller list. The series has been described as addictive and I can agree with that. Add to that, Mr. Howey is incredibly affable and approachable. He's one of the nicest personalities producing fiction and using social media today. As such, Hugh is gracious in sharing some time to chat with me today.

Pay Yourself First

I shy away from giving writing advice -- here on this blog or anywhere else for that matter. But I have found a component of my writing arsenal that seems to work -- at least for me.
