The ad I uploaded recently was too small to work well with Pinterest. Therefore, I created this one. Let me know what you think. I also created a new feature image, which is at the bottom of the page.
The other day I was surfing through Pixabay.com searching for header material, when I came across some strikingly beautiful abstract designs. Tonight I created some headers from them.

I created a new ad for displaying on Facebook today. Of course, I used the cover of A Tale of Hell and Other Works of Horror.

Tonight I found out that on November 11, YouTube channel Typical Books mentioned A Tale of Hell and Other Works of Horror among its new releases in November. Check out the clip. My section is probably less than thirty seconds, but it is nice to be mentioned somewhere.
I decided to toy with marketing by creating posters for my short stories. The basic idea is just to quickly create something that will grab people's attention and get my name in front of them. If they read the story, which can be found online, then maybe they will like my writing style and look … Continue reading New Ad Concept: The Scent

I am taking full advantage of randomizing the headers on my WordPress website. The headers I have developed so far are designed primarily to be attractive and to identify the website. However, soon I will be developing more headers that will promote my books with one header for each book. If I am feeling creative, … Continue reading Marketing: New Headers for My WordPress Website

I am proud to announce that today three of my works of horror microfiction ("Shadow Men", "The River of Lost Souls", and "Walking through Downtown") were published in The Sirens Call E-Zine.
I was going through my electronic files tonight and came across a couple of alternate covers for a couple of my works. I thought I would post them up just to show them off. I don't think I have posted them before, but I might have. Let me know what you think of them. Of … Continue reading Update October 26, 2020: Book Covers and Progress on Shadows and Stars
Contrary to what are probably well established principles of writing, I will start this article off with a side note, which I foresee as setting the tone for this morning. It's 11:46 and while I wait for the oven to heat up so that I can bake my croissants (small ones from Pillsbury with black … Continue reading September 20, 2020: Progress on Shadows and Stars, Tangents, and Internet Marketing
