I’ve mentioned my brother and sister on this blog occasionally. My sis has a degree in English lit from Penn State, and my brother – I don’t know what in fuck’s name he graduated with – a bachelor’s in bible maybe? Whatever it was. They are both going about their lives in the wrong way. [...]

I still can’t throw myself into this ebook writing maelstrom. I’ve got 2 other projects that are doing as well as writing ebooks and I just can’t seem to throw them away and walk the plank, falling ass and elbows into ebooks as a full-time occupation. It just isn’t solid enough. It feels like a [...]

There must be a couple of million people that are considering writing careers at the moment. Maybe you’re one. Maybe you read a couple articles each day about writing. Some of you I know read a boatload of stuff everyday – it’s not like there is a shortage of it online. If you read a [...]

I have two friends that are both telling me that they are not worrying about what Amazon does anymore. Amazon is sort of like Google, but probably much more important to writers as they have the power to sell an Eskimo-ton of your books – or none at all. Nobody knows the secret formula for [...]

When a writer has had some moderate success and yet it isn’t “enough”, and adding to that – when he tries to write other books that he’s inspired to write, and in niches that should do well – and doesn’t… How long does he continue to do so? I had some moderate success writing books [...]

Well, without going into specifics – we’re doing well. Amazon is holding well, and increasing. Sales at other ebook sites are increasing, and we’re starting to distribute more books to them as well. Our own ebook sites did really well during March, sometimes outselling distributors other than Amazon. So, the ebook world is well. The [...]

I read a guest post by Blake Crouch on Joe Konrath’s blog today. It was to plug Blake’s book, RUN. Hmm, where have I heard that title before? Turns out it was in my Kindle Reader – a great book by Michaelbrent Collings that is a HIGH bestseller in the Amazon Kindle Store. I read [...]

I went to bed last night thinking about life. Am I a writer, or am I not? Looking at things realistically – I cannot live anywhere outside Thailand on what I make writing my own books. I couldn’t live in the USA on it. Not a chance. I recently wrote a couple of books that [...]

One thing I have wanted to try is pricing a book at 99 cents – virtually free, and attract many buyers… and in that book have some ads showing my other – better book with a very similar topic – for $2.99. Or that 2nd book could be priced even higher… but, I’m starting with [...]

I wrote about a guy a couple of months back that seemed to be doing a killing with his short stories on the Amazon Kindle. He’s UK based, and had like 50 stories out already in ebook format – and was selling good numbers of them. He had some twisted titles, like “Dorking my Daughter’ [...]

I put more time into these two books than the others I’ve written. These are great books – while the others fill a need and give good information. In my case – those that meet a clearly defined need – are selling well. These other two books – my fiction thriller and my latest motivational [...]
