Black Ink, Trials & Tribulations (Or: It’s Hard to Find Decent Black Ink)

I wanted to use the title "Black Ink, White Paper" but it sounds like I'm discussing race - Not this time, lol! It's about ink. I use a cavalcade of colors when I write my creative works, simply because I can. But! In the pen that I use for when I'm out and about and... Continue Reading →

New Narrator for The Glassman Audiobook – and this round of auditions was A Time!

A new narrator for The Glassman has been chosen and now the final paperwork is being worked through: Alejandro Antonio Ruiz! More details to come. Also, I would like to say a word about this current go-around for finding a narrator: It is absolutely astonishing how often White individuals - even with a role call... Continue Reading →

Update on Audiobook for “The Glassman”

Looks like there will need to be another narrator for The Glassman. The narrator selected simply discovered he bit off more than he could chew when he took on this project and opted to bow out. No recording had begun yet by this time so that means nothing was really lost except for just a... Continue Reading →

Tentative MultiMind Publishing Schedule

Ok, so. I have what I am going to call a tentative publishing schedule because it is tentative and thus due to change at any given time but I think I have some degree of it down so far. I tend to plan these in advance because while writing books is quick for me, putting... Continue Reading →

Much Ado About Narrators, Yet Again

Currently in the market for male narrators to narrate my upcoming book, The Glassman. The current issues I seem to be encountering is an issue that I think may be a unique thing for narrators of color: I keep getting auditions where they drop any demonstrative accent. Almost like they’re thinking “How would a White... Continue Reading →

Let’s get straight to the quick: If you’re considering to do Poor Man’s Copyright, where you take your work and mail it to yourself and never open it, don’t bother because it doesn’t even work and isn’t even real. (Also, this is for the US writers and our copyright system). I have a background of... Continue Reading →

Soap and Ink

I write with a fountain pen. That means I use fountain pen ink. This means that fountain pen ink gets on my hands and won’t come off. I have a special inkwell for my pen so that I have minimal ink on my hands but still, some gets on there. I have worn disposable gloves... Continue Reading →

Omakesssssssssssss

I have put a modification on future copies of Dreamer and my upcoming debut dark fantasy novel, The Glassman. It's a single page but here is a glimpse of it: That's right! The middle section is now what you will see at the end of all copies, digital and print, of Dreamer and The Glassman.... Continue Reading →

Reveal, To Me: The Inspiration Behind “The Glassman”

I’m writing this because The Glassman is coming out – a work I am super excited for. Like Dreamer and other works, The Glassman has been boppling about in my head for about two decades (what I call “legacy stories” – stories that have been in my head for a really long period of time)....

Lined Up – Reviews and the Frustration of it all

My upcoming book, The Glassman, is in front of reviewers – or will be shortly – both big and small. Pro reviewers mainly but a few smaller ones here and there. It is quite the struggle. 1) First strike against me, I feel, is the fact that I’m indie. It does have a reputation of... Continue Reading →
