Finn and Elara: Exploring Boundaries in a New Realm

Editing, Editing, Editing…when do I get back to writing? I am happy to say I’ve finished my editing and re-write of sections of A New Past to create a less explicit version of the story. I’m not getting the final formatting sorted out and posted on Amazon for publishing.  It’s been a lot of workContinue reading “Finn and Elara: Exploring Boundaries in a New Realm”

Help Me Choose a New Cover

I plan on removing Technomancer from my Charlie Foxtrot pen name. As part of this effort, I’m updating the cover for the ebook and paperback as well. If you’re interested in lending a hand, help me choose a new cover. No registration, tracking, or shady stuff happening, just a simple poll. You’ll also be “inContinue reading “Help Me Choose a New Cover”

Secrets, Surveillance, and Survival in Technomancer

An excerpt from Technomancer. “Elara!” Finn called out sharply as he watched one of the feeds from the neighborhood spy-cams he had set up. The three-person team in cheap business suits were too well organized to be random pollsters. He watched as they stopped people on the streets, showed them a paper, and then askedContinue reading “Secrets, Surveillance, and Survival in Technomancer”

Promote Your Book: Strategies for Amazon Success

As I shared last week, I have a review on Reedsy for Technomancer. It’s a good review (I think), but alone it has not ignited a flurry of sales. So now what? My next step is to promote the book through the Amazon ecosystem. This will take a couple of approaches. One is to run aContinue reading “Promote Your Book: Strategies for Amazon Success”

Overcoming Writing Blocks: Tips to Reignite Your Muse

I’ve hit a little block on my two works-in-progress. Neither is fully blocked, in so far that I know where I want the story to go, but both are feeling more like work to write at the moment. Since the first 25k words in each came almost effortlessly, it gives a pause when it starts to feelContinue reading “Overcoming Writing Blocks: Tips to Reignite Your Muse”

Technomancer Review: A Unique Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventure

Excerpt from a reviewer: Loved it! 😍 This genre-bending novel is firmly at the intersection of technology and magic, with a solid foot in each world. Technomancer provides a unique and fascinating story line as the author weaves our technologically advanced world with the magically enhanced yet industrially deficient world of Elysia in such aContinue reading “Technomancer Review: A Unique Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventure”

Understanding Character Depth Through the Lens of Who

I recently started to get caught up on Writing Excuses, Season 20 while commenting into work. Specifically, Episode 5: Lens 1 – Who. The discussion introduces “the lens of who” — which means talking about characters. This is a great refresher on making characters that are multi-dimensional by showing them through different “lenses”. A key take-away is the ideaContinue reading “Understanding Character Depth Through the Lens of Who”

Technomancer is available on Kindle

Technomancer is available for Kindle. I am working with some reviewers to get more marketing material and reviewer comments, after which I will enroll it in KDP Select for three months. The KDP Select program is supposed to reach more readers, since Kindle Unlimited readers can read your book without buying the full Kindle edition.Continue reading “Technomancer is available on Kindle”
