A reminder to please take a chance on indie authors the same way you might indie films or indie video games. A lot of us work hard to create quality stories that are too subversive or unmarketable for a mainstream audience and if you're tired of the schlock that gets turned out by the big corps your next perfect read could be being peddled by a tiny nonentity on the corner of social media sending posts out on nothing but hope and a prayer. Don't write us off.

My 3rd Novel - Title Announcement

I'm super excited to announce the title of my 3rd novel, coming later this year:

Common Accord

A blue-collar space opera set in a future of inter-species trade & politics.

In a single conversation, Jes Moran lost a ship, a job, and a marriage. Now, with not much more than a cool head, a few clever scams, and an odd assortment of friends—a seasoned spacer, a washout young pilot, and an alien engineer on the run from a vicious cabal—they might just have a shot at a future. A rag-tag crew is one thing. A skip-ship cobbled together out of parts rescued from the recycler, though? Well, when you’re at the bottom of the ladder, you grab for the rung you can reach. When a hot tip for a big score finds its way to Jes’s ears, a plan starts to come together. But the ship is barely space-worthy, and the crew isn’t the only interested party. The cargo could set them up for life if they can get to it in time. It could also make them a target. Everyone is playing for keeps. But there’s one thing that nobody bargained for: Jes Moran really doesn’t like to lose.

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

Sign up for my newsletter!

Yep. I've got one. It's new. You could get in on the ground-floor!

What does that mean? I have no idea. But at some point soon, I'll send out the first issue, and it'll come with an exclusive bonus *something* for my loyal subscribers. I just have to figure out what that is.

Why should I sign up?

My newsletter will contain such compelling content as:

Updates on my latest projects before anyone else gets them

Special offers & give-aways

Exclusive behind-the-scenes content

Sneak-peeks at works-in-progress

Arbitrary musings

How can I sign up?

Couldn't be simpler.

Will you spam me?

Absolutely not. Never, and no-way. I hate spam. I won't be a purveyor of it.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I'll manage to send out a newsletter on a regular basis in the first place. Too busy writing. I'll probably only remember I have a newsletter when I have something cool to show off.

Besides, if you don't like it, every message will give you a link to unsubscribe.

Sign Me Up!
