In a Read it before you can buy it measure, I’ve decided to post a few snippets from the companion book to the Misfit McCabe series I have been working on. The title of the eventual book is Diary of a Misfit and will be available in ebook only (or at least that’s the plan for now).
Courting an Agent
When I made the decision to seek agent representation for some of my work, I started to do the necessary homework. Looking up agencies who handled the types of stories I have in the works, reading about various agents based on interviews, keeping my ear to the ground to hear the scuttlebutt on Twitter, listening to agents in various chats, online forums, looking them up in the various platforms designed to assist the struggling writer in making their selections, etc.

I seem to be on a trend of book trailers at the moment, never mind I started this one two years ago and have finally finished it. This video shows some of the characters in the second book in the Misfit McCabe series.
New Misfit McCabe Book Trailer
I’ve been making several changes to my primary website and in the process added the Misfit McCabe book trailer to the front page of the site.

(Yeah, right!) And that time would be now. I have once again revised the Misfit McCabe book trailer. I hope you enjoy.

Dies Irae Blog Tour: Embracing the Shadow
I’m excited to host Christine Fonseca today on her tour for the release of her novella Dies Irae. I remember having dinner with Christine a while back and we talked about some of our projects.

I woke up in a somewhat reflective mood this morning and as my mind rambled through various reflections, I stopped when I came to one of the authors I have known for a few years, PJ Cowan.

Lost In The Crowd…But Not For Long
Those who know me mostly see the upbeat, almost to the point of perky, side of me. I’m everybody’s cheerleader in a business which is rife with rejection and disappointment — at ALL levels.
