    Authors Give Back

    I should probably have written about it before, since it’s already been going for a month, but Smashwords is running a sale during the pandemic to help people stay sane.

  • Battles of Hastings

    These stories are already up for pre-order, so you can make sure to have them in your collection on the day (14 October).

  • The Indie Author Manifesto

    This is fairly self-evident. Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, has created this manifesto of what it means to be an indie author. The original post can be found here.

  • Acts of Violence

    As you may have gathered from the counter on the right ending its countdown, and from me saying several times, Acts of Violence is now available! Acts of Violence is a semi-noir (though beta readers have stated there’s nothing semi about it) thriller. It is, strictly speaking, sci-fi as well,…

  • Smashwords Formatting Guide

    EDIT: It’s 2024, so more than a decade later, although much of this information is still useable to create a clean file for Smashwords, things have changed, and I strongly recommend looking at more up to date guides as well. Ok, it’s not a clever title, but that’s what it…

  • 60% Celebratory Discount

    Well, I have now published Shadow of the Wraith on Smashwords (here). It hasn’t gone entirely smoothly, as I left out the simple words ‘Smashwords Edition’, meaning that it can’t yet be sent to places like B&N and Apple, etc. And because I’m not at home for a while, I’m…
