Like most indie authors, I am a member of several Facebook groups. One of them is a particularly great place to hang out, the SciFi Round Table. Don’t let the name fool you, we cover lots of fantasy there as well. In a recent post, the admin and creator behind it asked for help in […]

The effectiveness of Facebook giveaways
Last week I ran a giveaway on my Facebook author page, in order to generate more likes. Let me first announce the winners, and then do some analysis on the effectiveness of such giveaways. Huge congratulations for Phillip J. Kessler and Karen Tate for winning marketing graphics! I’m sure you’ll be able to see the […]
Need some pizzazz in your book marketing?
My Facebook author page is almost at 1,000 likes, so I thought it’s… To help nudge the page over the 1,000 likes, I’m running a giveaway! I’ll create some marketing material, to help you promote your books. This can be straight up promo images, or a social media banner, or even an animated .gif. Whatever […]
Interview time
Yes, me again. But also Felix. Cause we all love Felix. He interviews better than me anyway. K. Caffee, a prolific author of epic fantasy and creator of the mischievous Pukah, runs a series where she interviews both the authors and their characters. The interviews are not done via prepared questions, but rather as an […]
Free Unicorn!
In another Achievement Unlocked moment, Murder In Absentia has reached 100 reviews on Amazon! According to urban legend, Amazon will now send me a free unicorn, so I can impersonate Marcus Aurelius… I might need to grow a beard though.

That made me curious to learn more, and I’ve since started to read the books. This post is about my impressions of this […]
Podcast with Gabrielle Mathieu

She’d experienced the bustling bazaars of Pakistan, the serenity of Swiss mountain lakes, and the chaos of the immigration desk at the JFK airport. Perhaps that’s why she developed an appetite for the unusual and disorienting. Which neatly […]
Ancient Ruins
As some may know, we’ve recently visited Israel. While this was mostly about visiting family and friends, we did get to tour around a bit. Here, for example, we visited my favourite fort: I’ve posted a lot of images on my Instagram feed. More importantly, each image comes with its own little story, and why […]
Kindle Unlimited
You are here because, in one form or another, you like books. And, unless you have been living under a rock, you’ve heard about Amazon. One of Amazon’s ways of getting people who read to read even more, is through their Kindle Unlimited program. This allows you, the reader, to read as many books as […]
