She uses it for

Where the hell did July go?I've been caught in a state of limbo. With the publication of Gale Harbour Book 3 a few months ago, for the first time in five years I find myself without a book to work on. I mean, I have dozens of ideas for books, and four or five that I've actually started, but without a series looming over my head, I haven't had the motivation to write much. It doesn't help

Gale Harbour 3 has been out for a month, and it's been very successful. May was officially my best-selling month ever on Amazon, so I guess what they say about writing a series is true - each book has brought progressively more sales.Is the 1990s considered "period" yet?And it's not just the Gale Harbour books people are buying - last month I sold three copies of Hell Comes to Hogtown and a copy

Who missed February? I dunno. Why are you looking at me?I'm not going to do today's question. The idea of being anyone or anything for a day leads me down all sorts of random creative hallways, all of which ends with me blowing up certain world leaders. So we'll try to keep this on a positive note.It's still not done, but fuck it, I'm announcing it today. It's veeeeeery nearly ready, so maybe

A quick look at my Amazon page will show I've only published 4 full-length books (Gale Harbour 3 will be number 5), plus stories in various anthologies. So what are the rest of those books? Ten of them, including number 17, are the "Christmas books," the books I write for my family as
