Yes, yes, this one is late. Yes, it’s filled with December recommendations. The reason it’s late, though, is because I read a lot in December and got behind on recording it. So there’s 3,000 words of recommendations here. And now, you get the introduction I wrote almost 2 months ago… My reading behavior is finally […]
Continue ReadingI just posted another blog on Findaway’s rights grab on my Patreon page. Again, I have made this post open to everyone. Usually, I don’t do that, and I won’t do it much in the future, but I want you folks to understand what just happened with Findaway. It’s a business lesson that all writers […]
Continue ReadingI know many of you have asked me to write about Findaway’s giant rights grab this week. I just finished a short post on it. I’m no longer doing the regular business blog. Instead, I post about business things on my Patreon page. I made this post wide, so everyone can see it, but most […]

Lots of weird little things to share and announce. First, we’re making a number of changes at WMG and on the websites and such.

Suddenly we were dealing with doctors and surgery and schedules we hadn’t had before. I […]
Continue ReadingI got a lot less reading done in September. School started, and we were reading a play a week. I had some other projects to finish as well, which required reading. Plus we actually had some theater to attend, and the Las Vegas Aces were in the playoffs (and I had playoff tickets for the […]
Continue ReadingI am slowly catching up on the Recommended Reading Lists. The books are stacked all over my office in date order. The fall was too hectic to get to the lists, and what I did have would go live unexpectedly, so I had to delete. I’m now rebuilding, without anything scheduled at all, leaving them […]
Continue ReadingI have decided to discontinue the weekly Business Musings posts. If you’re interested in my occasional thoughts on publishing, take a look at my Patreon page. If you missed the final post, you’ll find it here. Thanks so much for your time and support over all the years.

I should have seen it coming when I couldn’t figure out how to write the year-end blogs. I found a dozen topics that fit, but none really interested me. They’re all important from different perspectives. The perspectives are so different from each other that they no longer feel like part of the same industry. For […]
