Get my books half off during Smashwords' Read an Ebook Week

Are you ready for another Smashwords sale?

July 1, 2014

Get my ebooks for half price!Back in March Smashwords, my ebook distributor, ran their annual Read an Ebook Week  promotion and I made two of my ebooks half price for the occasion. I didn’t see the notice about it yesterday it this morning I learned that they have a Summer/Winter Sale every July to help people find ebooks they didn’t know they’d love, and as with Read an Ebook Week many of the ebooks on Smashwords are discounted if not completely free. Once again you can get my ebooks at a 50% discount but instead of just being for a week it’s for the entire month of July! more “Are you ready for another Smashwords sale?” …

[Poll] Should I change the category for HWTB?

June 27, 2014

A few days ago I wrote about some amazing news I got from Amazon’s Australian store and tucked in at the end a question for my readers that I want to give its own post at the top of my site for a while. It turns out that as I’m working on a rewrite of He’s With the Band I’m noticing how little romance is in the story.

My question for you is simple: Should I change how the book is categorized to simply Christian fiction? I’d love to hear what my readers think I should do.

Coming Soon: J.M. Hardin: The Kickstarter Campaign?

June 13, 2014

I’ve been kicking around an idea for a book to write after I finish the rewrite of He’s With the Band. It’s a book of photographs of Franklin Park here in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood. I’ve seen some nice books about Franklin Park but the ones I’ve seen have older pictures, and while there’s some nice sites with pictures of the park there’s no book of recent pictures. The idea is for it to be partly a travel book, but more a book for Boston residents (and former residents) to use to get more out of our beautiful park.

My biggest problem: I need some new gear to make the book and my budget for it is nonexistent, so I’m going to turn to Kickstarter to try to fund the equipment I’ll need to make the book. more “Coming Soon: J.M. Hardin: The Kickstarter Campaign?” …

My favorite search engine has gotten even better

May 22, 2014

Search better at DuckDuckGo.comI love using DuckDuckGo for my search engine. Not only do they refuse to track you and what you search for, giving you the same results your friend gets and without showing you ads for things you search for a few days later , they also make searching specific websites a lot easier with !bang commands. And with their recent redesign they’re even more helpful than ever. more “My favorite search engine has gotten even better” …
