Welcome to my website! Iām glad you stopped by.
I am an award-winning novelist, nonfiction author, and story coach.
I had a literary agent before discovering self-publishing. Later I founded a company for authors to self-publish (not subsidy publish), and have published over fifty books for clients and a few of my own as well. I speak regularly at writers conferences on story structure, writing habits, and ways to publish and market.
I love good stories and coaching authors to help them bring their work to life. I also love helping authors discover the amazing benefits of self-publishing when done the right way.
On my website you can find:
My current multi-book writing project that I hope may eventually be picked up as a TV miniseries. Take a look if you’d like to read the first three chapters and find out about becoming a beta reader.
If you have a book you want to self-publish but don’t know how, take a look at EBook Listing Services to keep all rights and profits of your book. We work closely one-on-one with each client to make your book something to be proud of.
This is where I post useful stuff into one place. Check out this section to find:
- * Comprehensive overview for marketing your book.
- * Help with writing techniques and beating writer’s block.
- * Clear methods for creating a tense scene and structuring a story.
- * Pitching your work to an agent or editor.
- * The three types of publishing and how to choose which one works best for you.
