News on Reviews

December 10, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

Recent news about Amazon reviews here. My quick thoughts: Jeff Bezos and the gang are not playing around.  This is a strong action taken against click farms and other gimmicks that have had Amazon’s review / marketing features in the news for all the wrong reasons.  It was starting to appear to some indie authors […]

Some Publishing World News

August 1, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

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

July 1, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

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

April 30, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

Continuing the Blog Tour crossposting, here is the guest blog I did over at Long and Short Reviews.  A lot of this should already be known to long-time readers of the blog, but I figured I’d share for those of you just coming by during and after Planet Comic Con. Five Down and Glory I’d […]

A Bit of A Miscue

April 26, 2017 by James Young 2 Comments

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

April 22, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

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 […]
