I’ve released two books back to back so far this year, MAGIC & MANNERS in March, followed by ATLANTIS FALLEN in April.

As an experiment, I priced ATLANTIS FALLEN $2 cheaper than M&M, to see if the number of sales at the lower price point made up for or (hopefully) outstripped the profit I make off the higher purchase price of MAGIC & MANNERS.

Author Kristin Kathryn Rusch writes about a major change in book distribution and what it potentially means for writers.

It’s a really long article. It’s really worth reading. The *exceedingly* short take-away of it is that you may soon be seeing copies of NO DOMINION on bookstore shelves near you…

Author Kait Nolan wrote a blog about Kickstarters and platforms (featuring me!), which caused me to go have a look at the most successful fiction Kickstarters.

NO DOMINION’s still in the top 15, which surprised and delighted me. DINOPOCALYPSE NOW, which I’ll be writing a book for next month, is still in the top 5. (And Tim Pratt’s latest Marla ( Read more... )

I’m even *more* pleased that there is now regular new CEMurphy-filtered content popping up under the redirect/new category, without me ( Read more... )

So jemck posted over on Facebook saying:

Apparently, 20p will become the new default price for ebooks as this is what Sony are doing by way of promotion, and the books featured are gobbling up market share. Can someone remind these nitwits of the old, tried and true saying "Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity and cash is reality ( Read more... )

I got an email this morning from my little Fitbit pedometer (well, the site) which informed me that in 2012 I had walked 654 miles. This is not an embarrassing amount to have walked over the course of a year, probably, but since I'd only been using it since September, well. That's on the order of 163 miles a month. O.O
