Constant Scrutiny

July 6, 2019 by James Young 2 Comments

So I forgot about this being mentioned in a panel while at Libertycon. Yes, as Cedar says, if you’re in a group that seems at all sketchy, get out most ricky tick. The ‘Zon has been really cracking down on trying to find people gaming their system. From all appearances they may be indeed using […]

The Write Up That Was Foretold…

February 28, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

So about a year ago, when I was talking to several of my fellow indie author friends, they mentioned a convention known as “LTUE.”  When I asked what the acronym stood for, I was told, “Life, The Universe, and Everything.”  Being familiar with conventions overselling and underperforming (and shamefully not recognizing the Hitchhiker’s Guide to […]

LTUE Snippet and Those In Peril

February 19, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

Hey Everyone! So last week was pretty wild.  I attended Life, The Universe, and Everything (LTUE), a writer’s symposium based in Provo, UT.  Longer discussion coming soon, once I have a chance to collect all my thoughts and note from the weekend.  Suffice to say I had a blast, got to see lots of old friends […]

Some News…and Joining the 400 Club

September 9, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

So I’ve just gone over 400 audiobook sales.  While I’m sure there are some folks who pull this off in an afternoon, I’m super stoked at this milestone.  Next month I’ll be running a couple of promos, plus a promotion service just let me know they’re getting ready to start an audiobook-specific email list.  So, […]

Four Days With My People (GENCON 2018)

August 19, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

GENCON. Man. Part of the reason I’ve taken so long to do this AAR is that I was having trouble trying to put the experience into words.  It’s been two weeks since I loaded out of Indianapolis and began the long trip home…and I still find myself having a goofy smile for no good reason.  […]

Back from GENCON

August 6, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

GENCON was amazing.  But, it’s late, and I have to go to work.  Just like to give a shout out to all the staff, volunteers, and attendees who made it a great four days. If you’re into fantasy, check out my booth neighbor J.J. Sherwood and her Steps of Power series!

Random Thoughts

July 27, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

On the transitory nature of things:  So I’ve mentioned Project Wonderful on here a couple of times.  Well, after over a decade of great adverts at low prices, they’re closing their doors.  It’s like going in to check on a great restaurant you used to frequent…only to find that they’ve been closed for several weeks.  […]

Libertycon 31!

July 10, 2018 by James Young 2 Comments

As longtime readers of this blog know, I regularly attend Libertycon, a small sci-fi convention out of Chattanooga.  Unlike most cons I attend (where I allegedly perform Jedi mind tricks, erm, vend), Libertycon is primarily a professional get together / family reunion.  I met my first guest blogger there, got invited into an anthology, and […]
