RE: People Really Do Choose a Book by Its Cover
It felt rewarding to have such a productive week! Yeah, book marketing is a difficult nut to crack. There are so many authors competing for a pool of attention that's getting smaller and smaller. Your

I really love the style of that time period, I always have. What you say is about publishing is true. You really have to do it for the love of it if you're an indie because it's an uphill battle every

Thanks for the suggestion! I've always wanted to go to the Middle East. The mainstream media here in the US has a habit of scaring the beejeezus out of us when it comes to traveling to that part of the

All great ideas! We have lots of little indie bookstores here in the Twin Cities and the fall would be the perfect time to line up some readings/signings. Thank you Jay!

It can be challenging sometimes. I hope it's better today. We just watched The Roses on Netflix: It gets pretty dark in places but there are some funny scenes about marriage/relationships.

Most of my recent ones are in Kindle and paperback format. I'm flirting with the idea of just making this one available in paperback. Sometimes I think the Kindle sales canabilize the sales of the physical

I have a lot of respect for Marines. My nephew was a drill instructor for a lot of years, he's still serving in SoCal. I think his twenty is up in about four more years.

RE: People Really Do Choose a Book by Its Cover
Thanks Jay! I'll look into this. Many of these kinds of things are services they make indie authors pay for but, sometimes, the investment is worth it. It might even make sense to list some of my older

It's probably a very similar vibe, in terms of peace & quiet, to the early morning. Most nights I'm ready to shut down by 10:30 or so.

That would be a hard habit to break. Which branch of the military were you in?

RE: Morning People
It's the same dynamic in our household. It works though, most mornings I get all my writing sessions in before the rest of the house wakes up. Oh yes, that's the downside of being a morning person. Sometimes

Animals have so much to teach us! We've gotten so close to them over the years. They're so much more resilient and in balance with the natural world than we are. I really hope the channel continues but

Thank you! So many people across the world got close to these birds when the national network news picked up their story. That hasn't been all good as some of those people don't understand nature and have

Not to mention heavy metals in spices (not sure if that's a thing in the Land Down-under). Hoppy deer! I like it. Can't imagine how cool it would be to see those outside of the window.

The more I see and the more I learn the more I question if tech is really a net positive. The internet has been hijacked by algorithms and that's definitely dividing us, making us less smart, and less
