Timing an indie book release for Christmas–how do you actually do that?
We’re going to do our best to make that happen, but when she heard my answer, I think she might have panicked just a little.
I know Jack Riggins wants us all to Win Win Win, but–what will WE win?
Yesterday I received an email from the new chairman of the Lancaster County Republican Party (LCRP). His name is Jack Riggins.I’m sure he means well, but I wish he didn’t have my email address. I keep asking the LCRP to take me off their mailing lists, but so far, they’ve been uncooperative. And they keep selling—or sharing—it. I don’t hate them. I just don’t want to have anything to do with them. But more about that later.
I wanted to share Jack’s letter on Substack, but Substack isn’t letting me load images of any kind lately, so… I’m sharing his letter here as well as my response.
Here’s the first part of his letter:
A little background here: First, it’s a sad fact that politics is a nasty, horrible, sucking money pit–and political parties need (or want) ever more of it. I understand why Jack wants our support. The Lancaster County Republican Party is in serious trouble. The people who previously ran it outed themselves as globalist RINOs who weren’t just anti-Trump. When they made clear that they didn’t care what grassroots Republicans want or need, they also alienated the party base. When the party base refused to blindly follow them to perdition, these elitists took their politically generated wealth (generously contributed to up to that point BY the party base) and left the LCRP with nothing.
Last I knew, the LCRP was meeting in donated space in the basement of a commercial building with a broken elevator.
Okay–so they’ve got problems, and they have real needs. And, I’d like to be sympathetic. But I’m not–keep reading.)

I recently released all of my previously published books with all new cover art and updated interior files. I’ve been wanting to do this for some time. I liked the old covers, but unfortunately, there was limited artwork that I could find that would allow me to keep making covers in this style to continue
Why add maps to your books? Oh, for various reasons. If you’re writing fantasy or science fiction, including a map can help to keep your readers oriented as to where your characters are experiencing the events in the story. Of course, if your world is fictional, you will have to create those maps in order
