If you’re visiting this site, I’m sure you’re well aware that e-book publishing has been revolutionizing the industry. It’s how I’m choosing to publish.  E-Publishing has made the industry infinitely more accessible to authors now, and drastically reduced the end cost to consumers.  It’s also (arguably) much more environmentally friendly – if you exclude making millions of iPads and e-readers that will be obsolete in three years using heavy metals from China.  But hey, that just lends credibility to my sci-fi dystopian vibe, right?

All those benefits aside, it’s drastically increased the complexity for small authors such as myself who are trying to break into the industry...

Even though the site will have a few updates applied to it soon, I wanted to give new readers a quick heads up for how everything works around here.

Going forward, I’ll be making regular updates to both of the blogs on the site, but I won’t necessarily follow some sort of pattern.  Frankly, this is to protect you from lazy, repetitive writing.  Because nothing’s worst than a lazy author who uses the same words and phrases over and over, over and over.

OK, that was terrible.

But it won’t be in the future, because the Author Blog and Book Blog will get updates as appropriate!  The Book Blog will be everything related to The Phoenix Fallacy itself.  I’ll keep general updates and news posted here, plus any stories directly related to the publishing of the book.  The Author’s Blog will b...

Hey Everyone,

I’m in Atlanta today for my little sister’s graduation.  I can’t believe it’s already been four years!

This turn of events has created a dilemma for me, and I think all the older siblings will agree with me on this one: it’s not going to be so easy to be first in everything anymore.

This is a world shattering event.  At no point in my life have I not been able to A) be first or B) beat my sister at every game, event, etc.  As a side note:  she’ll claim that she has won at various challenges and competitions in the past.  Don’t believe her lies!

Now I’m faced with the very real possibility, especially now that I’m going back to school, that she might actually accomplish some things that I haven’t already!  Preposterous!  Inconcievable!

I suppose in my ultimate superiori...

Book 1 is in it’s final prep for launch, and it’s certainly keeping me busy.  Between putting in final preparations for the digital formatting, editing the next two books for release soon after, and adding content to the site – well, time is extremely short.

With the website live, I’ll be looking to send out the last few free copies of the book before the July 1 release.  Just hit the ‘Contact’ button and shoot me an e-mail, and I’ll send a copy your way.  Just make sure to tell your friends and family if you like it!

For those of you who don’t know, starting July 1st, not only am I launching Book 1 of The Phoenix Fallacy, but I’ll be starting a whole new life on the West Coast!  I’m moving out to Seattle to start a computer science program.

But… since the program doesn’t actually start until September, I’m taking a bit of a road trip in-between.  And when I say a bit of a road trip… I’m actually zig-zagging across the country.  I’ll be running up the East Coast, then heading West, Southwest, and finally, up along the California coast.

I’ll be posting news and updates from the trip right here, but for now, you’ll just get regular updates about how much prep is required!  Essentially this will boil down to a great deal of whining about long drives, but hopefully, some interesting stuff will happen in ...

Pre-launch preparations for The Phoenix Fallacy are underway.  Get ready for more big news coming down the pipeline!
