Everyone talks about how the publishing industry is changing — and it is. Today, I am thinking about the flow of money, particularly where it flows, to whom, and in what order. Most professional novelists have an agent who is part of that flow.
Under the original model, agents handle all aspects of the business and financial side of things. It is written into the contract that 100% of all money earned from  the sale of a book will go directly to the agent. So, all advance and royalty...

It's really been cold here in Oregon--like unseasonably cold.  Normally, we get a little weather in the low twenties in January and February, but not weeks and weeks of it on end.

So have our cats.  The girls are nine months old now.  I can hardly believe it.  



A few days ago, I brought my computer out to "the warm area" to write while sitting on the...

It has been a while since we did an update on “Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.” Time for a little catch-up on this and a few other Noble Dead related topics.

First up, everyone remember that Barb has a new separate...

This post might get me some hate mail, but I feel the need to express some thoughts here.



I had a strange epiphany yesterday while doing a read-through of a 16,000 word story that I'd just finished.



Last spring, JC and I launched a self-published project called "Tales from the World of the Noble Dead."  We write stories between about 50 and 150 pages all set in the world of the Noble Dead Saga.



Tales



This project has been surprisingly successful.  One of the reasons for...
