I just got the news from Amazon that my book is now for sale. It's been a long road getting to this point. I hadn't intended my first book to be a self-published one. Perhaps a bit of that was concern about the complexity of the publishing process, perhaps it was due to certain views … Continue reading My First Book is Finally For Sale!

The PRE-ORDER PAGE for The Adventures of Iric is now live on Amazon. I'd like to think it will be the same page for regular sales, once the release date arrives, but I'm not sure.

Some comments I wrote on my relationship with writing were posted by fellow blogger Richie Billing. My blurb is accompanied by that of another writer named Paul Freeman, who I had not heard about before now. Richie is planning a series of posts like this, and I think it's a interesting concept--looking at how writers got started … Continue reading Some Details About Me Posted Elsewhere

I hope to earn … Continue reading Catching Cameron Ellis
