Progress update on the “Lazarus Edition”
The hope had been to have the “The Sauder Diaries – By Any Other Name” republished for April 1st. However, I’m personally not happy where the editing stands at this time. Essentially, I’m re-polishing the entire book. There were a lot of spots in the Trestle Edition that the book would have benefited from a proper editing job. So, what about you folks who bought the Trestle Edition? Well, the plan is that when the “Lazarus Edition” goes up on …

A quick update about the state of progress for “The Sauder Diaries”
So I am pleased to report that my former publisher delivered both my sales numbers for December 2011 as well as my royalties today. My rate of sales for the 12 day period from the 19th to the 31st was about double my “hopeful” target, which certainly feels good. The royalties recieved will be going into financing the Book Cover Contest, for which I’ve already recieved some smashing submissions. I’m in the process of reading up on Amazon Kindle’s publishing …

Taking Corrective Action and A Public Apology
As I posted earlier today, I instructed Trestle Press Publishing to delist “The Sauder Diaries – By Any Other Name” from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The reason is because of a serious copyright infringement on the part of Trestle Press who are contracted to represent me for “The Sauder Diaries – By Any Other Name”. The cover you all have seen is this: This is the original, used without permission of the artist: When a fan alerted me to …

My thoughts on a first manuscript and an editor
Recently a friend of mine — who is both and editor and a writer — published a piece on her blog about the need for every author to have a good editor. I have also seen a lot of Tweets from a variety of editors-for-hire whose sales tactic seems to be to imply I’m an incompetent writer who, for a suitable sum of money, they can rescue from literary oblivion. I’m not sold on either point. I am going to be unpopular …
