A local writer’s club runs a free internet short story site. I’ve had an urban fantasy short idea kicking around in my head for a bit, so I tossed a short up on the site. It can be found at the Confabulator Cafe. Feel free to poke around and read other authors’ stuff–there’s a lot […]

Another Review for An Unproven Concept
Got a positive review from fellow author (and friend) H.P. Holo. She’s gentle on me, considering I haven’t killed her husband (and fellow author) Jacob Holo yet. (He won a contest to have a warship named after him at Libertycon. Gotta love Con fam!)
Some Publishing World News
There have been several developments in the indie publishing world as of late: First, Draft 2 Digital is making a major effort to establish themselves as a major distributor competing with Amazon’s behemoth. A few weeks ago, there was the announcement of a new audiobook service that, unlike Audible, does not have a sliding […]
Interesting Site
I found this site through a happenstance discussion of another author. If you’re an indie, this might prove helpful when looking for someone to compare yourself too in a given genre. http://www.gnooks.com/vote.php
Covering the Myths
Fellow indie author Cedar Sanderson hits some of the high points on covers. I’ll not say we’re in 100% agreement with the cover = art bit, but that’s also because I sell the prints at cons. To the point where a couple of my covers have either paid for themselves completely or are well on […]
Comic Pop Library
I was reviewed by Comic Pop Library. Hilarity ensued! Ep 20 ComicPop Licensed to Read James Young’s “An Unproven Concept”
On Being a Shaman, Part II
I was surfing YouTube Tannerite videos. (Don’t ask.) In one of them, some farmers were using Tannerite to thin the local wild boar herd. That got me thinking… “Y’all keep laying with that Tannerite, you’re going to cause some messed up stuff! You better quit it!” “What the hell are you talking about? We’re taking […]

The tags below should let you find things fairly easily with regards to writing, promoting, and other thing of interest to […]
A Bit of A Miscue
So one problem about the blog tour that I exacerbated by doing two books at once is that it’s easy to get the wires crossed if careful. The Avid Reader was promoting On Seas So Crimson, and I managed to think it was doing An Unproven Concept. Didn’t catch the mistake until the post was up. In […]
In Which Your Host Gets Grilled
As part of the blog tour, I was interviewed by blogger Lisa Haselton. Please share a little bit about your current release: An Unproven Concept is what would happen if you put Battlestar Galactica, Robotech, and Space Battleship Yamato into a cloning vat then had George R.R. Martin raise the baby. The book centers on […]
Rogue Angels' Interview
So I’m in the midst of doing a blog tour through Goddess Fish. I intend to do a rundown of things, but I thought I’d catch everyone up with what blogs I’ve been doing. This post was done for Rogue Angels in support of On Seas So Crimson: What or who inspired you to start writing? […]
