A Carew Update
tl;dr - Carew 7, A Brief, Interminable Peace, is complete, in editing and revisions, and will release in January or February. Is it some finely-honed piece of literature made great after four years of careful crafting? No. I think it's a solid Carew story that acts as...

Hey, everyone! I'm Dan and I'm thrilled to announce I've just been signed by Darkspace Press for my new series, Warlock! Warlock is a Harem/Magic School Urban Fantasy, and, yes, it has sexy-times! Warlock is going to be offered first as a serial on Royal Road, but...
Why the preorder was canceled
Hey everyone, I know it is been a very long time since the last update and all of you are wondering what happened why the preorder was canceled, and what the status of the next Alexis Carew book is. TL; DR It's not done and I don't know when it will be, but I'm going...
No Good Writing News, But We Have Dogs
Yes, it's been a long, unconscionable time since I posted a writing update. If I thought 2019 was a bad writing year, 2020 handed off a beer. I've been told my lack of posts and unresponsiveness to queries has led some people to wonder if I'm dead ... I'm really sorry...
Alexis Carew #7 Update and a Really Bad Writing Year
tl;dr - The next Carew book isn't going to be released this year. The story's simply not coming together yet, and it's been a really rough year for writing. It's mid-October, well past the time that a new Alexis Carew book would typically be available for preorder and...

Business of Writing: We’re #1!!
Well, no, not really. As of this writing, James Patterson is #1, but it would be nice, right? Number one seller in the Amazon US store? Maybe. It would certainly mean a lot of sales, and a lot of visibility, but, for most authors, it would come at a cost in...
Business of Writing: Qualified Business Income Deduction
I slacked off a bit in this series this year, but this tax change is too important and too easy to miss for me not to give a brief post about it. As part of the tax changes in 2018, there is a what's called the Qualified Business Income Deduction. This isn't on the...
