Well, the new book - Into The Strange - is almost done. I'm highly confident that I'll be in the upload process by the 11th at the latest (will update when it goes live). I didn't realize it, but this book is my largest to date (can't say for sure, but it should clock in around 460'ish pages).
I'm going to be trying something new this time. I'll be launching the book at 99c. Not sure how long it will stay at that price, most likely between 15-30 days. I'm generally not a fan of 99c pricing, but this is a special exception.
A few reasons for this:
1) I want to give back to fans who have followed me on this journey (especially everyone who has left reviews). This is my primary reason for launching at 99c. Doing so for 15 - 30 days is more tied to points two and three.
2) Amazon's silly store dynamics bump books on the new release list, and low-cost maximizes that process; giving them increased visibility.
3) I'm going to try and book a few promos and you need to be discounted for that.
So we'll see how it all goes. But ultimately, it's my way of saying thanks to all the readers who have kept this journey going.
For those who have followed me, I've said before my goal was to write six books and then step back and assess where I was at. I'm well ahead of the worst-case scenarios I imagined when I started publishing, but well behind the best-case scenarios as well. Such is life, things are rarely black and white.
I'm pretty exhausted after this last book, but after a couple of weeks of some R&R I think I'll start to get some clarity on what is coming next.

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

E-cigarettes: A PR battle Health Canada cannot win?

So I've now been using an e-cigarette (e-cig) for two months and thought I'd talk a bit about how I see the upcoming battle between Health Canada and e-cigs going. First though, let's do a quick overview of what exactly an e-cig is. Basically an e-cig vaporizes liquid that contains nicotine. The vapor is then inhaled. People who use e-cigs are called vapers (not smokers). Because the liquid is atomized (ie. vaporized), not burned the way tobacco is, vapers do not consider themselves 'smokers' in anyway. An e-cig is comprised of basically three components: The tank - this is the component that holds the juice (sometimes referred to as e-juice or e-liquid). The atomizer - this a coil and wick unit that atomizes the juice. When the coil is heated (from the battery) it atomizes the juice that has soaked into the wick. The battery - batteries for e-cigs come in various capacities (some last 8 hours, others 40+ hours, depending on their size).  The ba...
