[Poll] Would you be willing to tip me?
September 5, 2014
One of the things I heard several times when I was running my Kickstarter Campaign was that people would like a way to back me outside of the Kickstarter campaign. Today I was reminded of this when I saw an article from Make Use Of on making money from creative content. They mentioned two ways my readers could tip me so I wanted to ask which way you’d like me to go with. more “[Poll] Would you be willing to tip me?”
I’m now on Bloglovin!
August 29, 2014
Today as I was checking up on things WordPress.com (the company that hosts this site) I saw a post about Bloglovin. It looks like a great way to keep up with blogs you love and this site is now available on it. I look forward to seeing what other sites are on it, although I’ll have to make a point to not spend so much time on Bloglovin that I spend even less time actually writing. Tux knows I don’t do nearly enough writing as it is.
My new most favorite quote? Of course it’s from AFP.
August 22, 2014
A couple of days ago I got an email from my hero, Amanda Freaking Palmer, and she gave us an update on the book she’s written. In the post is a link to a story about making the cover and she said something that may be my newest favorite quote:
i asked a friend of mine who writes REAL books about this feeling and he said: yes, that’s why i can’t stop writing books. so books are crack, basically. that’s nice to know.
Books are crack. I can dig it, which may explain why I hate having to admit that I haven’t done anything new lately on the rewrite of He’s With the Band. (The quote came from here but I have to warn you that the images in the post are not all safe for work [they get NSFW in other words].)
I have a new scene that I started working on longhand and I just discovered that it never did get typed up. I”ll see about bringing the notebook in tomorrow and typing it up so I can see about getting you all a preview of what’s coming. That is it’s coming if I can ever get it finished. *g*
Have a great weekend, y’all. I’ll try to have something new for you guys (and gals) to read soon, even if it’s just a sneak preview of the HWTB rewrite.
Can you believe it’s been a whole year?
August 8, 2014
Tuesday marked one year since I published He’s With the Band and it’s been an amazing year. I had no idea that within a year I’d have two more ebooks published, be available in so many stores, and have my ebooks downloaded so many times! more “Can you believe it’s been a whole year?”
A map of countries that have gotten my books

The other day I was looking at the countries that have gotten my ebooks and I was amazed at some of them. more “A map of countries that have gotten my books”
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?”
We have a new download milestone!
May 29, 2014
Yesterday when I checked my download numbers I saw I was really close to hitting a new milestone in downloads and had a feeling by the time I logged off at the end of the day I would probably have hit it. And I did. more “We have a new download milestone!”
My favorite search engine has gotten even better
May 22, 2014
I 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”
We have a new look
May 15, 2014
Last month I saw an article on the WordPress blog about the new theme Fictive. I’d been wanting to change the theme here and never found a theme I was truly happy with. Until now. more “We have a new look”
