  This is very valuable info from Russell Blake, who some call the “Hardest Worker Author in Indie Publishing”.   Others call him the “Biggest Consumer of Tequila in

Indie Publishing”.   Either way, he’s a smart, hardworking writer who is willing to share his escapades, numbers, and ideas.   He’s encouraging……  and funny.

Here’s his blog site –

and check out his latest release on Amazon,  The Voynich Cyper      (and, pssst, he’s got a BUNCH of other titles too)

To say that “Breaking Bad” is a good TV show, is to say that Mark Twain was a good writer.  Simply stated, Breaking Bad is one of the very best TV shows of the last 10 years.

So – despite Mama’s best advice about not giving it away for free,  I’m doing it anyway.      (click here)

Grab an eBook copy of  ”Shades of Gray” for your Kindle or other eBook reading device today  before they sell out.  (silly boy, eBooks don’t sell out!)

Also,  because I’m such a “swell” guy, I’m also throwing in a free interview for you to listen to that was recorded yesterday (4/10/2012) on our local NPR affiliate, WUNC – FM.   I visited with the mega-cool Frank Stasio on his show – “The State of Things”  which highlights the arts, news, and all things North Carolina.      Here you go.  (excuse my rough voice, have a little cold)

Hope you enjoy the book and don’t forget to show a brother a little luv by posting a review on Amazon and/or GoodReads.  Just a sentence  or two is enough lovin’ for me.  Remember, I’m cheap. (smile)      (click here)

Hey Folks –  I’m on the radio.   Drop by and give a listen.

Doug was gracious enough to share his insight and REAL numbers from his recent “freebie” days with KDP Select.  (this is a re-post from his blog, yeah, I know, I’m lazy this week.)   Doug’s info is packed with great data that will help other writers.

I read his novel and it is excellent.  Fast, exciting, and a GREAT “bad” guy.  (Hey, I love villains)    Click Here to get his book.

In this post I’m sharing the results of my second round of free days I used in my first 90 days in Kindle Select.

My second round of KDP Select I used my remaining 3 days of my 5. My first round or two free days was in January and had some modest success. I decided to wait two months to use my remaining free days to give readers a little break and to get them in in time for me to decide if I wanted to renew in Select for another 90 days.
