short essay

I would have to admit that my road to the publication of The Shaman and the Rose was anything but average. The framework of the novel came about from two self-published titles where I explored the depths of Dante’s Inferno. Those first two books were a valuable learning experience. The most important lesson that I was taught was that as an author I had a great deal to learn about publishing and writing. I discovered that working with an editor can be a godsend to any writer. My editor opened my… Continue

Mystery Author Doug Hewitt Interviews Jack Thigpen

I enjoyed my virtual tour stops today, and it just keeps getting better. One of the promotional ideas I had was to have an interview with my main character in The Dead Guy, Jack Thigpen. Let's face it; I didn't really give Jack a fair shake, giving him a fatal, untreatable disease in Chapter 1.



And so what would Jack have to say to me?



Read my interview with Jack Thigpen, and see what he has to say to mystery author Doug Hewitt.

Comments on Self Publishing Article - New York Times

New York Times, January 27th, 2009.



This is an opening quote from an article about self publishing in the New York Times this week by Motoko Rich about the rise in self publishing. It is true, interesting and nice to see such a well established newspaper cast a cursory eye over an area of the publishing business which has long exploded… Continue
