Solving problems with a cup of coffee

I may never publish traditionally again

Many of you have noticed and enjoyed a lot of new content over the past several emails. This was an experiment to solve a few of my readers’ problems and to provide new ideas to the ever-existing unpleasant publishing industry issues. It boils down to writers making less and less and publishers continuing to grow more and more at our expense. And it affects our readers as well.

Reader Issues Include:

• Ebooks limited to the big river

• Overall lack of big river purchase enthusiasm

• Delayed and out-of-this-world audiobook expense and production (Did you know it takes years to pay off the upfront expense to produce an audiobook?)

New Ideas: What if we cut all that out? And instead, provide…

• Exclusive content

• Read as I Write - Reading weekly submitted chapters for a new series.

• Let me tell you a Story - Listen as you would to an audiobook narrated by the author.

• Free access to published backlist ebooks (coming soon!)

• Random content

• Research trip insights

• Video chats

• A Community

• Guest Authors

How Does this Work?

You can subscribe for free and still see most of the same newsletter and then when you’re ready to purchase a book, you’ll follow the links, same as before.

Or…you can pay the price of a coffee and get access to all the bonus content. My current subscriber list has until the end of the year to lock in the 20% off rate forever!
